Bordeaux: Majestic châteaux to modest family estates | wine tour

Share/like this post:

Bordeaux is both the name of an elegant city on the Garonne River and one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions. Here, magnificent wine châteaux coexist with far more down‑to‑earth estates. The region is vast, home to many dedicated winegrowers who work with great passion, whether at a classified château or a small family‑run property.

During the trip, you will gain a clear understanding of how Bordeaux works and what makes the area so unique. We move through classic appellations such as Médoc, Pessac‑Léognan, Saint‑Émilion, Entre‑deux‑Mers and Sauternes.

The days are intense, filled with exquisite gourmet lunches and tastings at the châteaux. We show you the region’s impressive range. We step into both architecturally spectacular wine cellars and more modest facilities. Both can turn out fantastic wines. You will experience every aspect of Bordeaux.
