The classic and ultimate wine tour: Bordeaux

Share/like this post:

Bordeaux is a wine region of many contrasts. You have the hugely famous wine producers with magnificent almost Versailles-like chateaux, with wines that you can rarely afford. But it is also a wine region with very rural parts, with small family wineries (still called chateau, of course).

In fact, it is a wine region where you find a lot of new dynamisms today. What we want to show you of Bordeaux is an insight into the “real” Bordeaux, not only the gilded salons.

We will take you to the producers who make outstanding wines but that perhaps were not on the right listing 150 years ago (wink, wink, 1855 Bordeaux Classification). Yes, there will be a bit of that too, don’t worry. But frankly, just glitz, glamour and bling get a bit boring. Are you here to taste the wines and experience one of the world’s leading wine region or just to have a list of names to tick off and to tell your friends about at home?

Come and see the real Bordeaux on this wine tour. There will be plenty of outstanding wines and some top notch gastronomy to enjoy too. As guests at the châteaux.
