4 Watchers

Immerse yourself in two of France's loveliest cities, both UNESCO World Heritage sites: Bordeaux and Saint-E?milion. Taste your way through the region's finest wines at legendary Cha?teaux such as Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, and Ange?lus, stroll through Bordeaux's beautiful neighborhoods, designed by Baron Haussmann, the same celebrated 18th-century architect who rebuilt Paris, and marvel at the centuries-old E?glise Monolithe of Saint-E?milion. Spend six nights being guided through some of the region's most coveted wineries by DCWAF friends and wine experts Michel Thibault and Marla Norman.

Your journey begins in the city of Bordeaux, where you will venture to the Left Bank, starting in Saint-Este?phe and Pauillac. Thanks to the relationships your tour guides have with the area's top wineries, you will have entry into First Growths, Second Growths, and other exclusive estates.

Your second day on the Left Bank will include visits to Saint-Julien and Margaux where you can tour properties such as the magnificent Cha?teau Margaux, Cha?teau Palmer, or Cha?teau d'Issan complete with its turrets and moats. The wines of the Margaux appellation are extraordinary and have received some of the highest ratings in Bordeaux for the past several vintages.

Your tour of the Right Bank includes acclaimed estates in the Saint-E?milion appellation such as Ange?lus, Cheval Blanc, Barde-Haut, Troplong Mondot, or Tertre Roteboeuf. You'll also venture to Pomerol, often called the Temple of Wine in Bordeaux where you may visit Cha?teau Clinet, superstar winemaker Ronan Laborde, and Cha?teau La Conseillante, where Marielle Cazeaux produces some of the most sought-after wines in the region. Be sure to stop for photos in front of the celebrated Cha?teau Petrus.

This Bordeaux tour is an unforgettable experience that many past patrons have called "the trip of a lifetime."
