Bordeaux Confidential Châteaux Wine Tour

For a wine lover a trip to Bordeaux is a must!

October 14-18, 2009

In Bordeaux 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 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 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 vinification and after this trip you will know quite a lot about what’s going on in Bordeaux at the moment.

In all the chateaux we will get private tastings together with the people who are involved in the wine making and who are delighted to share with us their passion for fine wine.

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. You will arrive Wednesday evening the 14th of October at the latest. On Thursday morning our bus will pick us up for our first visits in the vineyards. Sunday October 18th is departure day.
