Description:

The name Bordeaux is synonymous with fine wines and rich history. Explore the prestigious Graves region by visiting wonderful castles, cellars, and vineyards. Meet the owners and winemakers and taste some of the most distinguished Graves and Pessac-Léognan wines.

The renowned Graves region, located on the left bank of the Garonne, is an important area of the Bordeaux wine region. Start your morning at either the Chateau Haut-Bailly or Chateau Olivier, both renowned for their charming grounds and Pessac-Léognan varietals. Walk through the rich soil, soaking up the vineyard's laid-back atmosphere. In the vat rooms and the cellar, learn about the vine-to-bottle winemaking process and taste the estate's acclaimed wine.

Then continue to a Great Growth-classified chateau, either Latour-Martillac, with its famous medieval tower, or Carbonnieux, founded in the 13th century by Benedictine monks. Meet with experts who run the estate to learn about the region's primary varietals, taste different wines, and sip on a French aperitif with fresh bread, cheese, and dried sausage.
