Day-by-day tour program
We’ve taken care of everything—here’s what awaits you
- We meet at our beautiful hotel, get acquainted, and go over the program over a welcome glass of wine.
- Accompanied by one of Bordeaux’s finest guides, we’ll set off on a city tour — discovering its centuries-old history, rich culture, and the secrets of winemaking.
- Next, we’ll enjoy a private visit to the interactive wine museum La Cité du Vin, where we’ll immerse ourselves in the world of wine, its traditions, and taste selected varieties.
- In the evening, dinner at a French restaurant — savoring local cuisine and sharing our first impressions of Bordeaux.
- After breakfast, we head to Château Pape Clément, a Grand Cru Classé estate in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Once owned by Pope Clement V, this remarkable château will host us for a guided cellar tour and tasting.
- We then travel to the Atlantic coast, to elegant Arcachon, where we’ll enjoy lunch at a restaurant with panoramic views.
- With a guide, we’ll explore the town, learn its history, and discover which notable figures have chosen this scenic retreat. We’ll admire beautiful 19th-century villas built by the French elite.
- At the harbor, we’ll visit oyster huts, where freshly opened oysters will be served with chilled white wine.
- We’ll also climb the Dune of Pilat — the highest sand dune in Europe — for breathtaking views over the bay and coastline.
- We travel to the charming town of Sarlat-la-Canéda, known for its historic architecture, cobbled streets, and rich cultural heritage — a true journey into the Middle Ages.
- At the heart of the festival, on Liberty Square, you’ll have free time to explore local products, meet truffle hunters, taste truffle-based dishes, and enjoy lunch right on the square.
- We’ll take part in an introduction to oenology (the science of wine) and witness a fascinating truffle-hunting demonstration.
- Later, we’ll enjoy a walking tour of the town, discovering why its historic center is closed to cars and which films were shot here.
- In the evening, we check into a spa hotel overlooking the valley and enjoy dinner.
- In the morning, we depart for Saint-Émilion, surrounded by rolling vineyards of Merlot and Cabernet.
- We’ll visit Château Pavie, a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate, for a tasting. Its name is linked to the “Pavia” peach variety once cultivated here by the Romans.
- After lunch in the old town, we’ll explore Saint-Émilion with a guide, admiring its Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Protected by UNESCO, the town has preserved its authentic medieval character, with no modern construction allowed.
- In the evening, we check into a winery hotel and enjoy dinner in a magnificent stained-glass hall dating back 130 years.
- In the morning, we’ll visit Château Figeac, a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate with origins dating back to the Gallo-Roman era (optional).
- The rest of the day is yours to enjoy — whether strolling through the city or relaxing at your own pace. We’ll share impressions of our journey and dream about future destinations, because experiential travel has now become a way of life.
- If you’re departing that day, we’ll arrange your transfer to the airport. If you choose to stay a little longer, we’ll be happy to recommend wonderful places to continue your time in Bordeaux.
