Château Smith Haut Lafitte stands in Martillac (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Château Smith Haut Lafitte sits on a wine estate in Martillac, within Pessac-Léognan, around an 18th-century chartreuse house where its owners live. The name comes from Scottish wine merchant George Smith, who bought the property in the 18th century, though the vineyard's origins trace back to the 14th century. Since 1990 the estate has belonged to Florence and Daniel Cathiard, who turned it into a well-regarded Grand Cru Classé for both red and white wines. A visit centres on the vineyard and the winemaking cellars rather than on historic architecture.

What to know

Visits take place by appointment only, the estate being open seven days a week.
The focus is on the vineyard, the winemaking cellars and the cooperage, not on a tour of the château as a historic building.
The estate covers 87 contiguous hectares, with woodland, hedgerows and beehives near the vines.
The property also offers dining, accommodation and event hosting, which remain separate from the wine visit itself.
As no precise rates or opening hours are confirmed here, it is best to check directly with the estate.
