Champagne and Bordeaux are perhaps the two most famous wine regions in the world, and for good reason. They produce some of the most iconic and sought-after wines on the planet, from the sparkling wines of Champagne to the red and white wines of Bordeaux.
On our wine tour, you will have the opportunity to experience both of these regions firsthand. You will visit exciting wineries, learn about the winemaking process, and taste some of the best wines that these regions have to offer.
The grapes used to make Champagne are chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier. Champagne is made using a traditional method called the méthode champenoise, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle. You will learn all you need to know on this tour.
In Bordeaux, the grapes are mainly cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, sauvignon blanc, and sémillon. Bordeaux produces a wide range of wines, from dry reds to sweet whites.
