During this 9 night, 10 day tour we discover the Left Bank, the Right Bank, Grave, Pessac-Léognan, Sauterne, as well as some not so famous wine growing regions in the Bordelais. We visit famous classified Châteaux and so-called Petits Châteaux, where excellent wines are produced; we will see how a barrique is made; we learn how oysters are raised in the Arcachon Bay; we put an emphasis on exquisite wine and food pairings with meals in gorgeous Châteaux, we learn about the “Place de Bordeaux; we discover the vibrant and cool city of Bordeaux with its countless wine bars. In short: this tour to the Bordeaux region takes in all aspects that you need to know to understand what “Bordeaux” really entails.

We will explore the Bassin d’Arcachon off the Atlantic Ocean coast, visit an oyster farmer to learn what it entails to grow delicious oysters, and have an oyster tasting.

We will visit a top-notch, family-run cooperage to witness the fascinating art of making a barrique barrel from A to Z, so important to the quality of the wine.

We will visit a wine merchant to learn how the market for Bordeaux wines – La Place de Bordeaux- functions.

We will experience French hospitality and culinary art at the highest level.

We will have exquisite, Michelin-star equal gourmet wine pairing luncheons or dinners in an intimate setting at different Châteaux which we share with the proprietors / general managers and/or winemakers.

We will experience the vibrant, cool city of Bordeaux.

We only travel with a small group (max 10 persons) to experience very private behind the scene visits.

You will never travel with a hired guide. It is always the husband and wife team Annette and Christian Schiller who will be your guides.
