Description:
Bordeaux is the perfect place to master the craft of winetasting—put your skills to the test in a renowned vineyard. Join a morning tasting class complete with a delicious lunch, then visit the scenic Saint-Émilion region with its centuries-old castles and charming towns.
Sip from light, fruity whites, and aromatic, full-bodied reds as you learn about winetasting techniques. Discover the colors and fragrances of varieties from 4 different regions, and learn about notions of soil, appellation, and classification. Create your very own cuvee at a blending workshop, where you also taste different grape types to find your favorite.
After a traditional French lunch, head to a vineyard in Saint-Émilion to visit 2 centuries-old family-run estates. Meet the owners—passionate winemakers—and hear insightful stories while strolling around the vines and observing the traditional vat room and cellar. Put your winetasting skills you learned in the morning to the test with a degustation of wines produced at this prestigious estate.
Arrive at the charming medieval village of Saint-Émilion and fall in love with its exceptional beauty. Walk around steeply winding narrow streets lined with tightly fitted old houses made of golden stone. Admire the ruins of the ancient town walls, well-kept ramparts offering magical views, and the ancient church hewn into a cliff.
