Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Decanter Tours, 33450, Bordeaux France

09:00am

Meet your group and professional wine guide in Bordeaux, departure for a fun and educational wine tour in the famous Saint Emilion region!

On the way to your first visit your guide will give you an explanation about the Bordeaux wines characteristics and Classifications. Learn how soil and climate as well as the type of grapes can influence the flavor of the wine.


Duration: 8 hours

Stop At: Chateau de La Dauphine, rue Poitevine, 33126 Fronsac France

For your fist visit we are heading to Fronsac. A lesser known but historical appellation on the edge of the Dordogne River. This château was built in the mid 1700s by a lawyer at the Parliament of Paris, and a Civil and Criminal Judge. Shortly after its construction, Maria Josepha of Saxony, the Dauphine of France (the wife of Louis-Ferdinand of France, who, as the son of Louis XV, was the Dauphin), and mother of several of the last Kings of France (including Louis XVI) stayed at the château for a few days. This event contributed to the property's reputation, which was named in memory of the Princess’s visit. 

Following the visit we will taste 3 of the properties wines.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Castle of La Rivière, rue Goffre, 33126 La Riviere, France

At the confluence of the Isle & Dordogne rivers, at the top of the limestone plateau, this impressive Chateau overlooks the Dordogne valley and offers you a stunning view over the river and its 160 acres of vines. Discover an unusual underground cellar with 20 acres and make your way in the middle of 700 000 bottles of ageing wines. To conclude the visit, you will taste 3 wines of the properties.

The lunch included, will take place, either on the grounds of the property with a breathtaking view on the Château and vineyards.


Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Chateau Petit-Village, 126 rue de Catusseau, 33500 Pomerol France

2:00pm

After lunch, hop back in your minivan with the group and depart to your next visit, a charming Château in the Pomerol appellation, home of some of the most prestigious wines in the world. Did I mention Merlot? Leave your preconceptions at the door. This is not what you may know of as Merlot. Learn what "terroir" has to do with taste.

The sober architecture of the Château contrasts perfectly well with the stunningly modern wine cellars.

After the visit you will try the two wines of the Château, well known to be of high quality. They have the incomparable richness and finesse of the greatest wines of Pomerol.


Duration: 1 hour

hop in once again in your minivan with the group for one last stop, the medieval village of Saint Emilion, for a guided walking tour. You learn all about this UNESCO World Heritage site while admiring the most gorgeous landscapes of the region.
