Organising Transport for Your Wedding in the Vineyards

Getting married in a Médoc château, a Saint-Émilion estate or a Pessac-Léognan manor is the dream of many Bordeaux couples. But organising guest transport to these often remote locations is a logistical challenge not to be underestimated.

Organising Transport for Your Wedding in the Vineyards

Why is transport crucial for a vineyard wedding?

Wine châteaux are often far from city centres and poorly served by public transport. Moreover, with tastings and wine served during the meal, providing a safe return for your guests is not optional — it's a moral and legal obligation.

Transport options for a wedding in Gironde

  • Individual VTC: for VIPs, witnesses, close family (sedan or van)
  • Group shuttles: 7-seater van for groups of guests
  • Full-day service: dedicated driver for the entire event duration
  • Airport transfer for guests travelling from afar

How to calculate the number of vehicles needed?

Count 1 van (7 seats) for 6-7 people coming from the same departure point. For 50 guests spread across Bordeaux and its towns, plan around 7-8 van rotations or 4-5 simultaneous vans depending on schedules.

Tips for organising guest shuttles

  • Define 2-3 central pick-up points (station, main hotels)
  • Plan a return shuttle at midnight and another around 2am
  • Communicate schedules to guests at least 1 month in advance
  • Keep a vehicle on standby for emergencies (sick guest, delays, etc.)
  • Book Connect-Cab at least 2 months in advance for seasonal weekends

Transport is often the detail neglected in wedding planning. With Connect-Cab, entrust us with this logistics and focus on what matters: your happiness.
