Experience the art of living with all your senses in Bordeaux, France! Renowned as the world capital of wine, this dynamic port city set on the Garonne River in southwestern France is recognized by connoisseurs and wine enthusiasts for its exceptional appellations, and welcomes 5.5 million tourists every year, who split their visits between the region's castles and vineyards, exploring the city's UNESCO-listed area and the seashores of the Aquitaine coast. Get a true gourmet taste for this beloved region on a tour of two wineries, dinner at an award-winning restaurant.
Discover the Medoc, homeland of the best Cabernet in the world, when you go on two wine tastings at two wineries on a full-day tour! While the Medoc has been populated since Roman times, the area did not become what wine lovers consider to be the world's epicenter for fine wine until the start of the 18th century. It was at that point that the majority of the land in the Medoc switched to the cultivation of grapes for the production of Bordeaux wine. Prior to that, much of the land was used for other agricultural products, hunting grounds and vacation escapes for the wealthy. The most popular grape used for Bordeaux wine from the Medoc is Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenere - you'll only find red wine produced here!
Delight in an amazing experience dining in a one-star Michelin restaurant, Pavillon des Boulevards located in Bordeaux. This is French cuisine adapted into a modern concept, where you will sample seven mouth-watering courses for dinner.
