What can you find behind the grand chateaux façades in Bordeaux?

Share/like this post:

Bordeaux is the world’s biggest quality wine region. 120,000 hectares of vineyards, 5 million hectolitres of wine, 7000 wine producers. Yet most people think almost only on the fewer than 100 world-famous chateaux when they hear Bordeaux mentioned. If you are really interested in wine then perhaps it is not a price list (yes, in fact!) from 1855 which is your best guide.

Come with us behind the scenes at the chateaux, for example to the one which was so far away in 1855 that the owner thought it was too far to go all the way into the city just to be on some list called a “classification”. Or the family who will invite us to an oysters and seafood buffet with plenty of white, red and rosé on the table.

With a knowledgeable cicerone there are so many more exciting things to discover on a wine tour to Bordeaux than just the big international brands. Book now.
