| For a wine lover a trip to Bordeaux is a must! Here you find world famous châteaux and world famous wines but also a lot of new exciting initiatives (less famous but maybe more important for the future of Bordeaux!) and young enthusiastic wine makers.
On this long weekend trip we will visit both some big, famous Grand Cru Classé-châteaux and smaller ones that are less known, but very quality conscious. We will visit all the well-known regions like Médoc and Saint-Emilion, but also rising-stars among the regions, like Entre-deux-Mers and Premières Côtes de Bordeaux.
We will learn about viticulture and wine making and after this trip you will have a good understanding of current developments in the Bordeaux wine region.
We will stay four nights in the city of Bordeaux, an elegant and very beautiful city of just over half a million people. In the evenings you will have the possibility to explore Bordeaux, the sights and the many restaurants, at your leisure.
We will meet in Bordeaux, which is easy to reach; only 3 hours away from Paris by TGV-train (the airports of Bordeaux and Bergerac are also nearby). You will arrive Wednesday evening the 8th of October at the latest. On Thursday morning the 9th of October, our bus will pick us up for our first visits in the vineyards. Sunday 12th of October is departure day.
