Day 1
Choose your level of indulgence: a stay at a five-star luxury hotel & spa at the heart of a working Grand Cru estate, or its quieter sister property — a beautifully restored historic château just a 20-minute tree-lined walk from the main hotel’s amenities.
After unpacking, you’ll enjoy a tasting of Grand Cru Classé wines at the on-site estate, along with a tour of the vineyards.
You’ll dine at the estate’s restaurant — an upscale, traditional farmhouse setting serving seasonal French cuisine.
Day 2
Your English-speaking private driver-guide will take you on a full day’s tour of three hidden gem wineries around Bordeaux, considered off the beaten path.
After a full day of tours and tastings, you will have a free evening.
Day 3
Your private driver-guide will collect you and take you to your first winery visit of the day.
This special heritage visit to a historic family estate includes a drive to their oldest plot in a vintage campervan. Your tour of the vineyard culminates in a tasting of a rare, limited cuvée, accompanied by local caviar.
After the tour, weather permitting, the estate will prepare a delightful picnic lunch within the grounds.
You will then have the opportunity to visit one of Bordeaux’s legendary First Growth estates for a private tour and tasting at one of the region’s most historic wineries.
Your driver will return you to your hotel, where you’ll have the opportunity to dine at a double Michelin-starred restaurant on the estate grounds, ending your trip in style.
