PROGRAM BY DAY
We have already arranged everything, discover what awaits you
- We meet for lunch at our lovely hotel to get to know each other and discuss the program over a welcome glass of wine.
- Accompanied by one of Bordeaux's best guides, we will go on a city tour, discover its centuries-old history, rich culture and learn all the secrets of winemaking.
- After that we will have an individual tour to the interactive wine museum La Cite du Vin, where we will dip into the world of winemaking, its traditions and taste some varieties of wine.
- Dinner at a French restaurant. Let's enjoy the local gastronomy and share our first impressions of exploring Bordeaux.
- After breakfast, we leave for Medoc, a region of noble wines and majestic chateaux, surrounded by golden vineyards and filled with the aroma of old oak barrels. Here, wine turns into a real art, combining centuries-old traditions, ancient knowledge and modern technologies. The local vineyards were awarded the imperial classification in 1855, which is still valid today.
- The towers of Chateau Pichon Baron rise majestically in the heart of the vineyards of the commune of Pauillac. The chateau, located in a majestic 19th-century castle, is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful in the region. Tourists are invited to tastings in local cellars, and only for us the sommeliers will open the doors of the old mansion to conduct a unique vertical tasting.
- The next stop is the Château Giscours, a centuries-old wine estate shrouded in mysterious legends and true magic. Here we will not only get acquainted with the magic of wine, but also real miracles from local winemakers.
- We return to Bordeaux and go to the embankment. Today, huge antique ships are moored at the berths especially for the opening of the wine festival, because the history of the wine trade is closely connected with shipping. Let's go up on deck to feel the ripples of the Garonne under our feet and feel like a medieval navigator.
- The wine festival offers a real gastronomic variety - each region invites guests to taste its own specialties and delicacies on the food court. Over lunch, we will take a gastronomic trip from the Arcachon Bay to the Basque Country.
- We are going to tastings in the appellation pavilions to taste the wines of the Bordeaux, Saint-Emilion, Medoc, Grave, etc. regions.
- In the morning, after a delicious breakfast, we go to the Atlantic Ocean coast, to the exquisite Arcachon. It is also called the "city of seasons" because Arcachon is divided into four districts, the so-called "spring", "summer", "autumn" and "winter" cities.
- Accompanied by a guide, we will go on a city tour, get acquainted with its history and find out which of the celebrities prefers to spend their holidays in this picturesque corner. In the "winter" city we will see magnificent 19th century villas built by the French nobility. Despite the mix of architectural styles, the mansions create a unique and harmonious ensemble.
- Arcachon is rightfully considered the oyster capital of France, the freshest oysters will be opened for us right at the port, which we will enjoy to the accompaniment of chilled white wine.
- We will climb the largest dune in Europe, the Pila Dune, from the top of which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the azure Arcachon Bay.
- We check into a luxury boutique hotel, comfortably located in the heart of the famous vineyards Pessac-Léognan in the unique Grave appellation, which is equally famous for both red and white dry and white sweet wines. The perfect place to relax after a busy day.
- Today we invite you to join a narrow circle of connoisseurs of excellent French wine. Let's start this day with a visit to Chateau Pape Clement. The history of this unique castle dates back more than seven centuries! The elite red wines of this chateau are included in the Crus Classés de Graves classification. Accompanied by a winemaker, we will taste wine samples that are distinguished by their refined, perfectly balanced taste and luxurious aroma.
- We are going to the Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte. We will have a tasting, lunch and a walk through the picturesque territory of the estate, whose vineyards cover an area of more than 80 hectares.
- Moving to the Sauternes region. It produces famous sweet white wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle grape varieties. Together, they provide an excellent combination of fruity flavors and freshness.
- We will visit the famous Château d'Yquem, for which a separate class in the Bordeaux classification has been created — Premier Cru Superieur. Let's taste the local wines and find out which Chateau d'Yquem wine was a favorite of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II.
- Over dinner, we will share our impressions of visiting outstanding wine estates.
- After breakfast, you will have free time to relax in our luxurious hotel and taste the wines which are produced here.
- Our program has come to an end, but we're not saying goodbye, because exciting new journeys are ahead of us!
