The fantastic châteaux lunches are one of the things you will not forget from your Bordeaux tour with us. Star-chef-level French gastronomy and matching wines. In private chateau dining rooms. Someone once said “just the lunches on this tour are worth far more than the whole trip costs”… It’s undoubtedly true. Very special. Very private.
Bordeaux is a very big wine region and during our days here we will show you the most important sub-regions, Médoc, Saint Emilion, Graves, Pessac-Léognan and Entre-deux-Mers.
Bordeaux is known for its famous (and sometimes expensive) wines and we will visit this category of châteaux but we also want to show you some smaller family-owned châteaux. It is perhaps not quite what you think but Bordeaux is actually a district where you find more quality for your money than in many other regions. If you know where to look.
The style of the wines varies and today most châteaux want to make wines that can be drunk without long ageing in the cellar but that also have the potential to be aged if you want. In the past, the grapes were often harvested too early, before they were fully ripe, which resulted in astringent wines needing much time in the cellar. Today, people know better. The wines still have a good dose of tannins, they don’t want to take away what is typical of Bordeaux and what makes them such perfect food wines.
Come along and try some of France’s most famous wines from a district that has more châteaux than any other wine region. A château around every bend in the road.
