Sightsee and taste your way around France’s Bordeaux region, getting to know its world-famous wine firsthand.
About Your Trip
Probably no single location in the world is as associated with world-class wine as Bordeaux, capital of southwestern France’s Aquitaine region. Besides the sprawling, near-mythic vineyards, the city and its surroundings also boast some impressive and absorbing history—from long-ago Celtic roots and Roman rule to a front-seat role in World Wars I and II. For its precious architectural and cultural heritage, Bordeaux—the “Port of the Moon”—has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Get to know one of Europe’s most illustrious and romantic corners with this fascinating—and delicious—exploration of Bordeaux. Learn a bit of history and see some splendid landmarks—from the Monument aux Girondins and Place de la Bourse to the Rue Sainte-Catherine and the Grand Theatre—on a two-hour guided walking tour of the city. You’ll also enjoy extensive and exclusive exposure to the region’s internationally renowned wine industry during day trips by air-conditioned coach to some of Bordeaux’s most prestigious wineries. The cellar walk-throughs, curated tastings and discussions of the local viticulture industry will deepen your appreciation of the history and significance of this storied region.
