Being one of the world’s most famous wine regions have both advantages and challenges. To avoid being left behind, Bordeaux is today investing in many exciting initiatives, not least in the environment and sustainability. We visit both large, prestigious châteaux and smaller producers, and enjoy magnificent star-chef-quality chateau lunches.
We get to know the grapes in Bordeaux, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet and more. These are often called “international” grape varieties today because they have spread to wine regions all over the world although they should really be called Bordeaux grapes instead. In admiration for Bordeaux, “everyone” wants to plant the same grapes as Bordeaux. One good reason for their international travel is, of course, that these grapes thrive in many different places and, not least, that they produce very good wines! Which you will get ample illustrations of in the many wines we taste during the trip.
Bordeaux is a fantastic region to visit with some fairytale chateaux and a long and glorious history. We will visit traditional family estates and famous chateaux and we will get a good idea of what is happening in the wine region of Bordeaux today.
We will stay in the city of Bordeaux, one of the most beautiful and splendorous cities in all of France.
