As you experience a tasting session, learn about the 7 different types of Alsace wines. Local grape varieties include Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner, Muscat to name the most famous. </p><p><b>Or Visit Some of the Most Authentic Alsace Villages</b></p><p>This small group half-day trip to authentic Alsace villages and small towns departs from Strasbourg and heads towards the Northern Alsace Wine Route.

We suggest that you take a look at our full day tour Pearls of Alsace that will take you to Haut Koenigsbourg castle, Colmar and Eguisheim.

[name] => Alsace Grands Crus Wine Journey Private Tour from Strasbourg
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => A unique Grand Crus of Alsace Wine Tour Experience Private Full day from Strasbourg crafted by our experts. Follow the magical Alsace Wine Route, visit the vineyards and wine tasting of several Grands Crus of the Alsace wine region.
[description] => <p>This private full day wine tour has been designed so that you may have the privilege of tasting some of the most outstanding Alsace wines. Your tour in the Alsace wine region will consist in an introduction to the local grape varieties, visit and commented tastings in 3 selected wineries and a pleasant drive through the Alsace vineyards.</p><p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide who is an expert on Alsace Wines </b></p><p>In the morning, meet your English speaking guide who is an expert on Alsace Wines and who will go over the itinerary and program with you. Then, board your spacious, comfortable, air conditioned minivan and begin to make your way to the Alsace wine producing region.</p><p><b>Travel in a spacious Mercedes Minivan </b></p><p>Your private Alsace Wine Tour will take place in one of our very spacious Mercedes Minivans. This vehicle can take up to 8 persons normally but on this occasion, the vehicle will only be for you. This allows you to choose the seat that you think best in terms of social distancing while still enjoying the information passed on by your guide. </p><p>All our vehicles are equipped with an onboard P/A system that allows you to hear the commentary of your driver/guide no matter where you are seated. Also, there is free Wi-Fi access on all tour vehicles. Bottled water is also available in all our vehicles.</p><p><b>Depart from Strasbourg and reach the Route des Vins d'Alsace</b></p><p>Your private tour will first take you to the Barr/Andlau wine producing region. Here, taste fabulous Rieslings that originate from the Kirchberg (marl and limestone), Wiebelsberg (sandy sandstone) and Moenchberg (marls, limestone and slate) Grands Crus. </p><p>The hallmark of Alsace Grand Crus wines is their minerality. Some of the most famous wine makers that produce these Grands Crus include Kreydenweiss, Stoeffler or Albert Seltz. We will stop in one of the local wineries for a wine tasting session of the local Grands Crus.</p><p><b>Visit the Fantastic Grand Cru: Frankstein</b></p><p>Then, move on to discover a most unique and confidential Grand Cru: Frankstein (literally ‘the stone of the French’). Divided into several sectors of the charming little town of Dambach la Ville, this Grand Cru is characterized by a complex geological substratum, combining granite on its upper parts with shelly limestone, with sandstone lower down.</p><p>Depending on availability, it will also be the moment to discover biodynamic winemaking (a form of alternative agriculture very similar to organic farming, but which includes various esoteric concepts) in wineries such as Domaine Schaeffer Woerly or Beck-Hartweg.</p><p><b>Try the Unique Muscats of Alsace & Taste the Local Gewurztraminer</b></p><p>Finally reach the southern part of the Alsace wine route near Ribeauvillé and discover emblematic Grands Crus such as Altenberg, Kanzlerberg, Osterbrg. It is in this part of the wine region that you will discover local Muscat. Alsace Muscat is distinguished from the sweet Muscats of the South of France by its dry character. </p><p>Extremely aromatic, it expresses wonderful flavors of fresh fruit. We will also have you taste some exceptional Gewürztraminers that originate from local Grand Crus. These are full-bodied wine, with solid structure and a round fullness. In tasting these wines, one rediscovers the complete aromatic palette, often with the addition of licorice.</p><p>Harvested very ripe, “late harvest” and “Selection de Grains Nobles” Gewurztraminer ranging from sweet to viscous, possess exceptional richness and extraordinary aromatic complexity. </p><p>Return to Strasbourg after the final tasting.</p>

[description] => <p><b>Indulge in a Memorable Full-Day Alsace Wine Tour from Colmar</b></p><p>Experience the beauty of the Alsace wine region with our private full-day tour, starting with a convenient pickup from your centrally located hotel or accommodation in Colmar. Meet our knowledgeable English-speaking driver guide, who will provide you with a detailed program and itinerary for the day. </p><p>Once aboard our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, we'll set off on a journey through the enchanting Alsace vineyards.</p><p><b>Discover the Exquisite Grands Crus Wines of Alsace</b></p><p>Alsace is renowned for its exceptional wines, particularly the Grands Crus. These prestigious wines have been classified since 1975, featuring 51 designated areas that meet stringent geological and climatic criteria. </p><p>The Alsace Grand Cru appellation represents the pinnacle of quality, with limited terroirs, low yields, and specific vineyard practices ensuring expressive and authentic wines. These extraordinary vineyards range in size from 3 to 80 hectares. Only four grape varieties are used to produce Alsace Grands Crus wines: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat (Alsace variety). Immerse yourself in the world of these unique Grands Crus wines during an exceptional day in the Alsace wine region.</p><p>Our thoughtfully crafted full-day wine tour offers you the privilege of tasting some of the finest Alsace white wines. The journey begins in the Ribeauvillé wine-producing region, where you'll savor fabulous Rieslings from the Kirchberg, Geisberg, and Osterberg Grands Crus, known for their mineral character. Ribeauvillé wines often boast higher mineral content compared to other Grand Cru Rieslings, reaching up to 2.5 g solids per liter. Notable wine producers such as Trimbach or Louis Sipp contribute to the excellence of these Grands Crus.</p><p>Next, we'll venture to the unique and lesser-known Kaefferkopf Grand Cru, nestled in the charming town of Ammerschwihr. This Grand Cru stands out with its complex geological composition, blending granite, shelly limestone, and sandstone. Depending on availability, we may also explore biodynamic winemaking at renowned wineries like Domaine de Weinbach or Domaine JB Adam, offering a glimpse into alternative agriculture practices.</p><p>In the southern part of the Alsace wine route, you'll discover emblematic Grands Crus such as Steinart, Goldert, and Hatschbourg. Delight in the local Muscat, characterized by its dry and highly aromatic profile, showcasing refreshing fruit flavors. </p><p>We'll also introduce you to exceptional Gewurztraminers from the Hatschbourg Grand Cru. These full-bodied wines exhibit a solid structure and round fullness, accompanied by an aromatic palette that often includes hints of licorice. From sweet to viscous, late harvest and Selection de Grains Nobles Gewurztraminers showcase extraordinary richness and aromatic complexity.</p><p>Throughout the tour, you'll have the opportunity to explore the beautiful villages of Alsace, immersing yourself in the region's traditions and culture. Our driver guide will provide insights and stories, enhancing your overall experience. For those interested in broader wine introductions, we offer additional wine tours featuring tastings of other grape varieties, such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.</p><p>After the tour we will take you back to your accommodation in Colmar.</p>

The vineyard is entirely located on the territory of the municipality of Nice, which is unique in France. </p><p>It enjoys a great amount of sunshine (2700 hours per year), beneficial rains (838 mm per year) and a microclimate due to the altitude and the winds (Mistral and Tramontane) blowing almost continuously in the Var valley. </p><p>The vines are rooted in narrow planks called “Restanques”, made up of rolled pebbles, mixed with a clear compact sand (“Poudingue”). These excellent conditions combined favor the expression and full maturity of the grapes in the harmony of the different wines of Nice. </p><p>There are only 10 wineries that still make wines today.

[description] => <p><b>Discover the Delights of Châteauneuf du Pape: Private Day Trip from Aix en Provence Wine Tour</b></p><p>Embark on a remarkable Châteauneuf du Pape wine tour, departing from Aix en Provence, and immerse yourself in a full-day private small group experience. Our English-speaking local guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Aix en Provence, and your knowledgeable driver guide will provide you with a detailed itinerary and program for the day.</p><p><b>Journey to the Enchanting Châteauneuf du Pape Wine Region</b></p><p>As we make our way to the captivating Châteauneuf du Pape wine region, get ready to indulge in several wine tasting sessions at carefully selected wineries. Châteauneuf du Pape holds a prestigious position as one of the first AOC wines of France, with vineyards that trace back to the Roman era. The region experienced significant development during the 14th century under the patronage of the Avignon Popes. It was Pope Clement V who first discovered the unique soil of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and his successor, Pope John XXII, further fostered viticulture practices, propelling the vineyard to fame beyond the borders of "The Comtat."</p><p><b>Unveil the Rich History and Breathtaking Views</b></p><p>Upon reaching this renowned wine-producing region, explore the village and its ancient castle, which served as the summer residence for the Popes during their stay. Delight in a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley as you immerse yourself in the ambiance of this historical setting.</p><p><b>Morning Wine Tasting Session at a Local Winery</b></p><p>Châteauneuf du Pape wines are celebrated for their full-bodied reds, predominantly crafted from grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre—typical grapes found in the southern vineyards of France. The region also produces intensely perfumed white Châteauneuf du Pape wines, featuring grape varieties such as Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, many of which are rustic French varietals.</p><p>Upon arrival in the village, indulge in a wine tasting session at a local winery. Afterwards, enjoy some free time to explore and embark on a wine tour of Châteauneuf du Pape wines in the old 14th century pope cellars. If desired, your guide can recommend additional wineries for further wine tasting experiences.</p><p><b>Lunch at a Local Restaurant (at own expense)</b></p><p>Following the morning's Châteauneuf du Pape wine tour, it's time to savor a delectable lunch. We can pre-book a table for you and your party at a local restaurant, allowing you to relish the flavors of the region while pairing the cuisine with more Châteauneuf du Pape red or white wines.</p><p><b>Afternoon Wine Tasting Session at a Local Winery</b></p><p>After a satisfying lunch, embark on your second Châteauneuf du Pape winery tour. Discover the history of the unique domain, explore the facilities, and engage in a guided tasting of the estate's exceptional wines. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn about the wine-making process, the diverse blending possibilities, and the wide range of grape varieties used to create these extraordinary wines.</p><p><b>Return to Aix en Provence</b></p><p>Conclude your wine tasting adventure as we transport you back to Aix en Provence, marking the end of our services.

With its 10,600 hectares of vineyards and an annual production of approximately 50 million liters, this region is a haven for wine lovers. It primarily produces red wines, utilizing grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Some white wines are also produced under the generic Bordeaux AOC classification.</p></li><li><p>Saint Emilion: Situated on a hill along the Dordogne Valley, the medieval village of Saint Emilion holds the distinction of being the first wine region to achieve World Heritage status in 1999. Its history dates back to the 2nd century when Romans introduced grape cultivation. The village derives its name from Emilian, a monk who sought refuge in one of the natural caves and later became a central figure in the area's religious and winemaking development. Saint Emilion wines, known for their robust flavors and rich earthy notes, are predominantly made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.</p></li><li><p>Graves: Bordering the Garonne river, the Graves Bordeaux wine region encompasses sub-regions like Pessac Léognan, Sauternes, and Barsac (known for its sweet wines). This region's distinguishing feature is its intensely gravelly soil. While Chateau Haut Brion was included in the 1855 Médoc classification, the Graves appellation itself received its classification in 1953 for red wines and 1959 for white wines. Graves is renowned as the birthplace of claret, and its wines showcase grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle. Prominent wineries in the area include La Mission Haut Brion, Domaine de Chevalier, Château Haut Bailly, and Château Bouscaut, many of which are classified as Crus Classes wines.</p></li></ol><p>Indulge in a remarkable wine tour experience and discover the captivating charm of Bordeaux's three major wine regions: Médoc, Saint Emilion, and Graves. Let our expert guides and comfortable transportation ensure a memorable journey through the world of Bordeaux wines.</p>

Whether you're a small or large group, our specially crafted wine tours cater to your preferences. Step into our premium air-conditioned vehicle and begin your immersive exploration of the renowned Provence wine region.</p><p><b>Indulge in Your Preferred Wine Style</b></p><p>Our private tours from Aix en Provence offer access to various wine appellations within the Provence region. Accompanied by your knowledgeable wine guide, discover the unique characteristics of the terroir and gain insights into the meticulous wine-making process as you explore the aging cellars.</p><p>Engage in private visits and tours, and delight in sampling a diverse selection of wines. Below, we present our curated selection of Provence Appellations that you can visit from Aix en Provence:</p><p><b>Coteaux d'Aix en Provence</b></p><p>Located furthest to the West among Provence wines, the vineyards of Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence stretch from the Durance River to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Rhône Valley (West) to Sainte-Victoire Mountain (East). This appellation is renowned for its captivating reds and rosés. </p><p>The red wines offer a beautiful texture, ample with firm tannins that provide a structured and voluminous experience. Meanwhile, the rosé wines charm the palate with their roundness, aromatic depth, and a refreshing finish often accompanied by minerality.</p><p><b>Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire</b></p><p>Situated at the base of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, the vineyards of Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire thrive on poor yet quality soil consisting of limestone and clayey sandstone. These vineyards produce exceptional red wines ranging from delicate to robust and generous, as well as elegant rosés with subtle flavors.</p><p><b>Bandol</b></p><p>Nestled in a natural amphitheater, the Bandol vineyard stretches across terraces encompassing approximately 1,600 hectares. Protected by the massif of Sainte Baume to the North, this vineyard descends gracefully toward the sea, creating a magnificent amphitheater of wooded hills. Bandol wines predominantly feature the Mourvèdre variety, known as the king of the appellation, complemented harmoniously by Grenache and Cinsault. The red wines exemplify balance, while the rosés captivate with their roundness and generosity.</p><p><b>Cassis</b></p><p>Established as a Protected Appellation (AOP) in 1936, Cassis stands as one of the early vineyards in the region to receive this prestigious qualification. This picturesque village, composed of a single commune, holds the distinction of producing predominantly white wines, with at least 80% Marsanne. The Marsanne varietal contributes exquisite aromatics, finesse, and an elegant profile to the refreshing high-quality white wines of Cassis.</p><p><b>Châteauneuf du Pape</b></p><p>The Châteauneuf du Pape Appellation, labeled as one of the first AOC wines of France in 1936, boasts a rich history dating back to the Roman era. This vineyard, expanded and developed during the 14th century by the Avignon Popes, showcases a remarkable soil composition. Explore the village and its ancient castle, the former summer residence of the Popes, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley.</p><p>All our full-day wine tours feature guided wine tastings at carefully selected wineries. During the booking process, you'll have the opportunity to specify your preferred Provence appellation.

This is definitely high on the list of all wine lovers.</p><p>Here, you will arrive in a local estate to begin your Burgundy wine tasting experience.

Your guide, who is a wine expert, will be with you so do not hesitate to ask questions concerning the wines that you will be tasting.</p><p><b>Pre-book your lunch option with us</b></p><p>For lunch it is possible for you to pre-book one of our meal options that have been put in place to enhance your Burgundy wine tour experience. You will be able to select the option that is adapted to your wishes during the booking process.</p><p><b>After your free time for lunch, continue your Côte de Beaune wine tasting experience</b></p><p>To perfect this wine tour in Burgundy, travel through the winegrowing villages to the north of Côte de Beaune. As you are driven through the vineyards, reach the Hill of Corton, a unique place famous for its Grands Crus red and white wines. The Corton Hill is located alongside the Route des Grands Crus at the northern tip of the Côte de Beaune wine region. On these slopes over 150 hectares of vines are divided into numerous appellations including 2 Grands Crus: Corton red and Corton Charlemagne white.</p><p>It will now be time for another wine tasting experience of the local wines. Participate in a prestigious commented tasting at a renowned estate: Compare the elegance of the Pinots Noirs with the unoaked white wines. Again, don't hesitate to ask any question you might have to your guide who will be with you during the tasting session.</p><p>After the tasting, it will be time to make our way back to Dijon and that will be the end of our services. </p>

[name] => Bordeaux Wine Tour to Saint Emilion From Toulouse
[durationMinutes] => 600
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 41760
[shortDescription] => A Private Bordeaux Wine Tour to the Saint Emilion wine region on a day trip from Toulouse. Visit vineyards, Chateau wineries and taste delicious St Emilion Grands Crus red wines. Stroll through the medieval streets of Saint Emilion village.
[description] => <p><b>Meet your English speaking driver/guide </b></p><p>In the morning, we will come and pick you up at your Hotel or Accommodation in Toulous. Once you have met your guide, he/she will go over the program and itinerary of the day with you. Then, board your comfortable, air conditioned vehicle and begin to make your way to the Graves & Sauternes wine producing regions.</p><p><b>Travel in a spacious Minivan </b></p><p>Your private Bordeaux Day Trip in the Graves & Sauternes will take place in one of our very spacious Minivans. This vehicle can take up to 8 persons. Bottled water is also available in all our vehicles.</p><p><b>Depart from Toulouse and reach the Saint Emilion wine region</b></p><p>Starting in the city of Toulouse a 2 hours drive brings you to the picturesque countryside plains and rolling hills of Bordeaux's right bank wine producing area. This private full day small group wine tasting tour packs a lot of delights. </p><p>Each of these local wineries produce vintages with distinct soil features backed by a long winemaking heritage. The wines produced here are a blend of Merlot grapes with deep, bold flavors, along with other local grape varieties, especially Cabernet Franc and, to a lesser degree, Cabernet Sauvignon. </p><p><b>Wine & History combo on a St Emilion full day tour</b></p><p>At your arrival in the Saint Emilion appellation we will take you to two very different wineries so that you can understand how techniques and production can vary from one winery to another. </p><p>On this type of wine tour in Saint Emilion we combine the visit to a very modern winery with that of a more traditional, family owned one. By doing so, it will be possible for you to better comprehend the technical transformations that have taken place over the years and what are the principal differences between traditional and modern winemaking and the repercussions this has on the structure, characteristics and aromas of the wines produced.</p><p>After the wine tasting session it will be time to discoer the village. Enjoy a walking tour with your guide in the village of Saint Emilion. Discover the most significant landmarks of the village and retrace the history of a famous Monk. Stroll through the quaint, cobbled stone streets of this medieval town. </p><p>Listen as your tour guide recounts local history, from the days of the 8th century hermit Emilion, to the 19th century mining galleries, which still lie beneath the village. It is no coincidence that Saint Emilion has been awarded the Unesco World Heritage status in 1999. After the walk, enjoy some free time to explore on your own in the village. </p><p><b>The legend of Emilian </b></p><p>The first indications of human settlements in the area date back to the Roman Empire, but the story of Saint Emilion starts in the eighth century AD. At that time, a monk from Brittany, fleeing persecution in his hometown of Vannes sought refuge in one of the natural caves near the settlement of Ascum Bas.</p><p>Although he lived the simple and secluded life of a hermit, Saint Emilion allegedly performed several miracles from his Aquitaine hideaway. Soon, his renown spread far beyond the town and region, bringing pilgrims and disciples from far afield to visit him. The small settlement grew fast as it became a religious center. </p><p>After Saint Emilion died, his followers made sure he would be remembered by giving the town of Ascum Bas the new name of Saint Emilion.Much later, monks developed more intensive and widespread vineyards. This is when the reputation for Saint Emilion wines started building towards what it is today. </p><p>The rich Merlot-based blends of these fertile plains have given local wines a great appeal, and several wines produced in chateaux near Saint Emilion have been given the highest possible awards under the French appellation wine rating system.</p><p><b>Return to Toulouse</b></p><p>After your free time, make your way back to Toulouse city centre. </p>

[name] => Private Loire Valley Wine Tour: Chinon & Bourgueil Vineyards & Tastings
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => From the town of Tours, follow a Private Loire Valley Wine Tour. Discover the vineyards of Chinon and Bourgueil. Visit Chateau wineries and taste Loire Valley red, white and sparkling wines. Local guide, expert in Loire Valley wines.
[description] => <p><b>Embark on a Delightful Loire Valley Wine Tour with Expert English-Speaking Guide</b></p><p>Meet your knowledgeable English-speaking guide, an expert in the exquisite wines of the Loire Valley, particularly the Chinon and Bourgueil wine appellations. We'll start the morning by picking you up from your hotel or accommodation in Tours, ensuring a convenient and comfortable experience. Upon meeting your guide, they will provide you with an overview of the day's program and itinerary. Settle into our premium air-conditioned vehicle, designed for your utmost comfort, as we begin our journey to the captivating Loire Valley Wine Regions.</p><p><b>Indulge in Wine Tasting in the Chinon Wine Region </b></p><p>After a short scenic drive, we'll arrive at the Chinon wine-producing region. Known for its exceptional red wines crafted from Cabernet Franc or Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, as well as its exquisite white wines made from Chenin Blanc, this region boasts around 200 esteemed wine producers who collectively produce approximately 12 million bottles per year. The light, sandy-gravel soils near the Vienne River impart a rounded and supple character to the Chinon wines, making them easy to drink. Meanwhile, wines grown in the denser soil of the limestone slopes exhibit a fuller body, robustness, and longer aging potential.</p><p>Upon arrival, we'll take you to one of our carefully selected wineries in the region. Here, you'll have the opportunity to savor a wide range of local wines through a guided tasting session. Our wine tours include insightful commentary on the wines, as well as explanations about the appellation and terroir associated with the wine region.</p><p><b>Enjoy Free Time for Lunch (at own expense) in Charming Chinon</b></p><p>After the morning's wine exploration, we'll head to the picturesque town of Chinon. Accompanied by your guide, take a leisurely stroll to discover the town's charms and embrace the ambiance. You'll have free time to explore and find the perfect spot for a delightful lunch (at your own expense). Feel free to seek recommendations from your guide, who can provide suggestions for exceptional lunch opportunities.</p><p><b>Discover the Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Wine Region</b></p><p>Following lunch, we'll venture to the renowned Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Wine Region in the Loire Valley. With winemaking traditions dating back to the 10th century, this area gained prominence for its outstanding wines in the 17th century. The vineyards of Bourgueil are situated on sandy gravel known as "graviers" and clay-limestone soil called "Tuffeau," which was also used in the construction of houses and castles in the region. These historic quarries now serve as cellars for aging wines.</p><p>Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil wines are predominantly red and crafted from the Cabernet Franc grape variety. Wines grown on sandy gravel soils exhibit fruitiness, delicacy, and lightness, ideal for early consumption. On the other hand, wines from vines planted in clay-limestone soils offer complexity, higher tannins, and the potential for aging, especially in exceptional vintages.</p><p><b>Experience Wine Tasting Sessions in Two Wineries</b></p><p>During the afternoon, we'll visit and indulge in wine tastings at two local wineries within the Bourgueil / Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil appellation. After a brief introduction to the winery's history, you may have the opportunity to explore the vineyards and witness the current state of the vines, depending on the winery visited. Some wineries may also offer tours of their technical installations and aging cellars. Following the informative tour, you'll participate in a guided tasting session, sampling a variety of wines produced on-site. While red wines dominate the region, some wineries also offer tastings of rosé, white, and sparkling wines.</p><p><b>Conclude the Tour with a Return to Tours</b></p><p>After the delightful wine tasting session in the Bourgueil wine region, it will be time to return to Tours. Our professional services will conclude as we drop you off, marking the end of an enchanting Loire Valley wine tour. Should you desire an unforgettable day trip from Paris, this tour can also be arranged as an exceptional excursion from the capital.</p><p>Immerse yourself in the Loire Valley's rich wine heritage and captivating landscapes by booking this extraordinary tour today!</p>

[description] => <p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide</b></p><p>On this private full day small group tour, we will first come and pick you up at your accommodation in Avignon. Meet your English speaking driver guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you.</p><p><b>Châteauneuf du Pape Wine tour</b> </p><p>The Châteauneuf du Pape Appellation was one of 6 to be labeled as the first AOC wines of France in 1936. The vineyards planted by the Romans were extended and developed by the Pope's residing in Avignon popes during the 14th century.</p><p>In 1314, Clement V, the first Avignon Pope discovered the special soil of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. His successor, John XXII supports him and it was during his reign that the vineyard really took off and spread fame beyond the borders of “The Comtat”.</p><p>The former bishop of Avignon, Jacques Duèse was elected as Pope John XII and succeeded Clement V in 1316. He regularly drank the wines from the vineyards ‘in the north’ and did much to improve viticulture practices there.</p><p>The Pope sought a place sufficiently far from the city to discourage courtiers, sycophants, and scroungers, yet close enough so that a courier could go there and back to Avignon on the same day. The ideal spot was found on a hillock overlooking the Rhône Valley about halfway between Avignon and Orange – Châteauneuf – and this area was placed directly under his authority.</p><p>As you reach this famous wine producing region, discover the village and its ancient castle that was the summer residence of the Pope's during their stay in the area. Here, you will enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view on the valley.</p><p><b>Morning Wine tasting session in a local Winery</b></p><p>The Chateauneuf du Pape wines are well known for their full bodied red wines made predominantly with different grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre that are typical grapes that can be found in the southern vineyards of France. There are also some white Chateauneuf du Pape wines that are intensely perfumed. The grape varieties used for the white wines include Grenache Blanc, Rousannes, Clairette and Bourboulenc many of which are rustic french varietals.</p><p>Upon arrival in the village, it will be time to taste some of the local wines in a local winery. Then, you will have some free time to roam around and enjoy a wine tour of Chateauneuf du Pape wines in the old 14th century pope cellars. Depending on your wishes, it will be possible to taste more wines in the local wineries that your guide can point to.</p><p><b>Lunch in a local restaurant</b></p><p>After your morning Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, it will be time for lunch. We can pre-book a restaurant for you and your party in a local restaurant. Why not enjoy the local food and pair it with more Chateauneuf du Pape red or white wines.</p><p><b>Afternoon wine tasting session in a local Winery</b></p><p>After lunch, experience your second Chateauneuf du Pape winery tour. Listen about the history of this unique domain, visit the installations and participate in a commented tasting of the wines of the estate. Take the opportunity to ask about the wine making process, the different blendings that are possible and most of all learn about the large range of grape varieties that can be used to make this exceptional wines. </p><p>After the wine tasting tour, we will take you back to Avignon. Please note that we also organize Provence wine tours & day trips from Avignon.</p>

[shortDescription] => Gourmet Food & Wine Tour from Montpellier to savor oysters & wines. Enjoy a small group shared tour that includes oyster tasting on the Bay of Thau followed by a Languedoc wine tour. Taste delicious red & white Languedoc wines.
[description] => <p>In a typically Mediterranean landscape, wander around the lagoon and visit the vineyards of Picpoul de Pinet and Grès de Montpellier. We will then taste some fresh oysters of the Thau lagoon.</p><p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide guide </b></p><p>Meet your guide who will go over the itinerary and program of this small group half day languedoc wine & food tour with you. Then board your premium A/C vehicle and begin to make your way to the Thau lagoon for your oyster tour & tasting session.</p><p><b>Etang de Thau</b></p><p>The "oyster of Bouzigues", with its marbled shell, very serrated, and its iodized freshness enhanced with a hint of hazelnut, is a delight for the palate. After a short drive, we will reach the lagoon side, direction Mèze, Bouzigues or Marseillan, where a plate of oysters awaits, before an iodized visit of the oyster beds. </p><p>The absence of tides in the Mediterranean has imposed specific techniques: suspended farming using "tables" made up of rails supporting cross-beams and poles. Learn about this little known production and enjoy oysters that may still be in the water at the beginning of your visit. </p><p><b>Picpoul de Pinet Wine</b></p><p>The AOC Languedoc Picpoul de Pinet vineyards cover some 1400 hectares (3000 acres) around the Thau lagoon to the west of the Mediterranean Golfe de Lyon. It forms a triangle bounded by Agde, Pézenas and Sète and is the largest white wine producing area of the Languedoc. One of the oldest Languedoc grapes, the famous Picpoul de Pinet has been growing near the Thau Lagoon for centuries. </p><p>White is the most common, though both blush and black grapes are to be found. Picpoul de Pinet is not only splendid with seafood and shellfish as well as other traditional Mediterranean dishes, but also with cheese and chocolate. It’s best drunk young and cool.</p><p><b>The Montpellier Follies</b></p><p>All around Montpellier, between the 17th and 19th centuries, investors of the time built large domaines, hoping to make their fortunes through wine-making. Hence beautiful residences , some inspired by Venetian villas, came into being. They became known as « follies ». Two of them still remain, headed up by wine-makers of the Grés de Montpellier Languedoc Roussillon appellation. </p><p>Begin your wine tour and visit a magnificent wine estate, its Renaissance-style castle backed by its 11th century chapel and nestled in a lush garden. You will also visit the vinification cellar and the oak barrel cellar before tasting their range of white, red and rosé wines. After the visit & wine tasting session we will return to Montpellier and that will be the end of this half day tour.</p><p></p>

[name] => Alsace's Finest: Private Grands Crus Wine Tour from Mulhouse
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 41760
[shortDescription] => Sample Famed and Delicious Alsace Wines on this small group private Alsace Grands Crus Wine Tour. Follow the Alsace Wine Route, visit vineyards and taste local Grands Crus Rieslings, Muscat, Sylvaner or Gewurztraminer white wines.
[description] => <p>In the morning, we will come and pick you up at your centrally located hotel or accommodation in Mulhouse. Meet your English speaking driver guide who will go over the program and itinerary of this private full day Alsace wine tour from Colmar. Then, board your air conditioned vehicle and begin to make your way to the alsace vineyards. Alsatian wines, and more specifically the Grands Crus, are considered to be among the most delicious french wines.</p><b>Three Commented Grands Crus Wine Tastings</b><p>The Grand Crus of Alsace were created in 1975 and feature 51 classified areas defined according to strict geological and climatic criteria. The designation is attributed to wines satisfying a number of quality-related criteria: strict limitations on terroir, highly restricted yields, specific rules of conduct regarding the vines, minimal natural ripeness levels and taste . The appellation Alsace Grand Cru recognizes the most exceptional terroirs, which impart to the wines an expressive character and a unique authenticity. The size of these exceptional vineyards varies between 3 and 80 hectares. Only 4 grape varieties can be used to produce Alsace Grands Crus wines: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat (Alsace variety). Discover these unique Grands Crus wines during an exceptional day out in the Alsace wine region.</p><p>This private full day wine tour has been crafted so that you may have the privilege of tasting some of the most outstanding Alsace white wines. Your wine tour in Alsace will first take you to the Ribeauvillé wine producing region. Here, taste fabulous Rieslings that originate from the Kirchberg (marl and sandstone), Geisberg (marly limestone) and Osterberg (calcareous marl)Grands Crus. The hallmark of Ribeauvillé wines is their minerality. In fact, while most Grand Cru Rieslings have 1.5 g solids/liter, Ribeauvillé wines often reach 2.5 g/liter. Some of the most famous wine makers that produce these Grands Crus include Trimbach or Louis Sipp.</p><p>Then, move on to discover a most unique and confidential Grand Cru: Kaefferkopf (literally ‘beetle head’). Divided into several sectors of the charming little town of Ammerschwihr, this Grand Cru is characterized by a complex geological substratum, combining granite on its upper parts with shelly limestone and sandstone lower down. Depending on availability, it will also be the moment to discover biodynamic wine making (a form of alternative agriculture very similar to organic farming, but which includes various esoteric concepts) in wineries such as Domaine de Weinbach or Domaine JB Adam.</p><p>Finally reach the southern part of the Alsace wine route and discover emblematic Grands Crus such as Steinart, Goldert or Hatschbourg. It is in this part of the wine region that you will discover local Muscat. Alsace Muscat is distinguished from the sweet Muscats of the South of France by its dry character. Extremely aromatic, it expresses wonderful flavors of fresh fruit. We will also have you taste some exceptional Gerwurtztraminers that originate in the Hatschbourg Grand Cru. These are full-bodied wine, with solid structure and a round fullness. In tasting these wines, one rediscovers the complete aromatic palette, often with the addition of liquorice. Harvested very ripe, “late harvest” and “Selection de Grains Nobles” Gewurztraminers ranging from sweet to viscous, possess exceptional richness and extraordinary aromatic complexity.</p><p></p><p>This full day private tour is also adapted to travelers that wish to take in the best of the Alsace region as we will cross many beautiful villages and your driver guide will always have a few words about the traditions and culture of Alsace. We also organise other wine tours that are more an introduction to the wines of Alsace and that include tastings of other grape varieties such as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.</p><p></p><p></p>

[description] => <p>Spend a Day at the Most Awe-Inspiring Sites Around Toulouse</p><p>Today depart for a full day tour from Toulouse to one of the most beautiful areas of southern France – the Pays de Cocagne - the land of wealth and plenty.</p><p><b>Meet your English speaking driver guide</b></p><p>In the morning, we will come and pick you up at your centrally located hotel in Toulouse. Meet your English speaking driver who will go over the itinerary and program of the day. Then, board your premium air-conditioned vehicle and depart for the town of Albi.</p><p><b>Reach Albi and visit a fortress Cathedral</b></p><p>Located just next to the tourism office of Albi, begin your tour with the visit of the imposing Gothic Cathedral one of the most impressive in France. Built in the 13th century (1282 - 1480), construction took 200 years and the Cathedral is today the largest brick built building in the world measuring more than 100 meters in length (320 feet), 35 meters wide (114 feet) and 78 meters tall (255 feet).</p><p>The sheer size and external look of the Cathedral is quite spectacular. The Cathedral was built at a time when the region was fighting the Cathars, a christian dualist movement that challenged the authority of the Catholic Church, and had just been annexed by the King of France in 1271.</p><p>The building of the Cathedral had both a religious and political purpose: build an imposing fortress to showcase the power of the Church against the Cathars but also to build it in the Southern Gothic style, in brick material, far from the Northern style that had just overtaken the region.</p><p>Inside, the beauty of the Renaissance decorations contrast with the austere exterior of the edifice. What really impresses are the paintings of the vaulting. They are the oldest and largest Renaissance painting ensemble in France. The blue color that dominates the paintings dates back to the 1520's and they were never cleaned or restored.</p><p><b>Vieil Alby</b></p><p>After the visit of the Cathedral, it will be time to move on with your guide to visit the Old Historical town of Albi. Your tour will also take you along the banks of the Tarn River to admire the Old Bridge but also to the Saint Salvi district where an elegant cloister can still be seen. Then stroll through the medieval streets of the city of Albi and discover some remarquable examples of Renaissance architecture.</p><p>A number of Private Mansions can still be seen and your guide will certainly evoque the times when the region was known as a 'Pays de Cocagne' a land where the woad trade made a number of merchants become rich and powerful. One of the most interesting examples can be found in the Hôtel de reynes, built circa 1525, where the mix of stone & brick building has attained great craftsmanship.</p><p><b>The Toulouse-Lautrec Museum</b></p><p>Certainly the most important landmark with the Cathedral, the Toulouse-Lautrec museum is certainly not to be missed when one comes to Albi. Set in what used to be the Bishops Palace, the Musée Toulouse Lautrec is home to the most important collection of artworks by artist Henri de Toulouse Lautrec that were donated by the mother of the painter to the town of Albi.</p><p>The museum is composed of drawings, etchings, lithographies, posters and paintings made by the artiste. More than a 1000 works of Art make up the whole collection. The Berbie Palace, where the museum is located, enhances the visit as the setting is quite remarkable. </p><p>Don't hesitate to visit this famous museum during your free time (entrance fees not included), then you will have some free time for lunch as well. Don’t hesitate to ask for suggestions as your driver will be able to indicate local restaurants that will fit your budget.</p><p><b>Visit Cordes sur Ciel village</b></p><p>In the afternoon, reach Cordes sur Ciel, a beautiful medieval hilltop village with more than 120 Gothic homes that date back to the 13th century. Once you have reached the top of the village take a short walking tour to visit Cordes and admire the numerous Gothic façades. There are more than 100 ogive windows present on the limestone and sandstone façades. Another landmark is the covered market that still houses a well that is said to be more than 100 meters deep.</p><p>During your free time in the village take the opportunity to shop for local Arts & Crafts as the village is home to a great number of Art galleries and artisan workshops. They are closely associated to the</p><p><b>End the day wine tasting in Gaillac</b></p><p>After your time in Cordes, end the day with a wine tasting session in Gaillac. The vineyard of Gaillac, located just north of Toulouse, is one of the oldest wine-growing regions of France dating back to the 2nd century B.C. Located in the South-West of France, in the heart of the Occitanie region, Gaillac is part of the great family of the wines of South West France which includes 17 AOCs and 12 IGP.</p><p>Indeed, between the vineyards of Bordeaux and Languedoc-Roussillon, the Nouvelle Aquitaine and Occitanie regions have known how to perpetuate their wine vocation. Today, the southwestern vineyard stretches for 500 kilometers between Aveyron and the Basque Country.</p><p>Admire the rolling hills of the Gaillac wine producing area and be introduced to the large range of wines produced here. There are roughly 300 wineries in the Gaillac wine region and the average size of a winery is 30 hectares (75 acres). The most famous is without a doubt the ‘Perlé,’ a slightly fizzy white wine but other wines include reds, rosés, sweet, whites and sparkling! Visit and wine tasting will have been pre-programmed.</p><p>For the red wines, the main grape varieties that are used in the final blend include local Braucol, Duras, Syrah (shiraz) and Merlot. For the white wines lesser known Loin de l'Oeil and Mauzac are the most common grapes followed by the more traditional Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.</p><p>After the tasting, return to Toulouse and end our services.</p><p> </p>

[description] => <p>Depart on a highly recommended Normandy small group day tour to discover some of the most charming sites of the area. At first, you will be picked up by your English speaking driver/guide at your accommodation in Caen or surrounding area. Here, your tour guide will introduce you to the program of the day and retrace the itinerary. Then, board your comfortable A/C minivan and head for the town of Honfleur.</p><p><b>Visit the Charming small Town of Honfleur</b></p><p>Enjoy a private guided walking tour of Honfleur to discover the most important landmarks this charming small town of France has to offer.</p><p>Located on the Seine Estuary close to Le Havre and the incredible 'Pont de Normandie' bridge, the small port town of Honfleur is one of the most beautiful of the area with its historical center and vieux bassin port and marina. </p><p>The historical town center still retains stunning half timbered houses, old cobbled stone streets that are located around Sainte Catherine church. The church itself is quite surprising as it has a double roof nearly all made out of wood. </p><p>Dating back to the 15th century, the church was built by ship builders explaining why the vaulting of the two naves resemble the hulls of ships. Honfleur is also home to famous museums such as the Eugene Boudin museum dedicated to the 19th century painter who originates from Honfleur. Located on Erik Satie square, the museum is home to more than 100 art works of Boudin but also includes paintings from Courbet, Monet, Lebourg, Dufy and many more.</p><p><b>Then discover one of the most beautiful villages of France</b></p><p>After the visit of Honfleur, you will have some time for personal discovery as well as lunch. Then, your private tour will head towards your next destination of the day, the small village of Beuvron en Auge. </p><p>Rated as one of the most beautiful villages of France (plus beaux villages de France), this village can be considered as a picture perfect postcard of a traditional Normandy Village in one of the most beautiful areas of the region, the Pays d'Auge. </p><p>Stronghold of the d'Harcourt family, on the Cider and Calvados trails, its half timbered houses, old covered market and surrounding manor houses make it a treat to discover. Here you will have some time to stroll through the village on your own for personal discovery.</p><p><b>End the day with a commented tasting of Apple Brandy</b></p><p>Finally, reach a local Calvados distillery located in the heart of the Pays d'Auge. This family owned estate produces some of the most famous Cider, Calvados and Pommeau of Normandy. Here, more than 25 varieties of apples are grown on the 30 hectares of orchards composed of either standard trees or cordons trees. </p><p>After more than a century of production, the family has gained recognition worldwide for the subtle and delicate art of blends. After a short introduction to the different products that are distilled here, you will participate in a commented tasting of the local spirits - tasting fees are not included. After the tasting, it will be time to return to Caen and this will be the end of our services.</p>

[destination_short_description] => One of the two most important towns of Normandy, Caen is known to be William the Conqueror's hometown and is where he and his wife Matilda of Flanders had two great Abbeys built. Even though most of the town was destroyed during the 2nd World War, some of the great monuments have survived and the historic center was well restored making the town an attractive destination.
[destination_description] => <h2 class="_ophorus_title _big_content _text_none _line">Caen Travel Guide (Normandy, France)</h2>
<p>Caen is a perfect location if you want to discover the major highlights that the Normandy region has to offer. Within the city there are a number of monuments to visit such as Abbaye aux Dames and Abbaye aux Hommes, the Vaugueux neighbourhood, the Marina and the WWII Memorial museum with its fascinating D-Day exhibit;</p>
<p><strong><span class="_highlight">A bit of history</span></strong></p>
<p>There is not much known about Caen before the early 11th century. It is with William the Conqueror that the city really begins to be mentionned. He will have a fortress built as well as the famous Saint Stephen and Trinity Abbeys. The town became the possession of the King of France Philippe-Auguste in 1204 but the town fell back into English hand during the 100 years War. The town will remain English until 1450.</p>
<p>After a series of plague pandemics, the town was shaked by the war of Religions between Catholics and Protestants. The latter took the town and devastated the Abbeys and Churches. After the Edict of Amboise of 1563 the fighting eventually stopped.</p>
<p>The next most important event in the history of Caen takes place on June 6th 1944. After the Normandy landings, Caen is one of the main objectives of the Allied Forces. According to the original plans, the city was to be liberated on the first day but that did not happen. The town will not be liberated until August of 1944 and in just a month of intense bombing that town has lost nearly 70% of its buildings.</p>

Then, board your Premium, air-conditioned vehicle and begin your private tour to discover the vineyards of the Champagne region.</p><p>Sightseeing of Avenue de Champagne in Epernay</p><p>Epernay is internationally known as the “Capital of Champagne”. Your full day tour will begin in Epernay. Epernay’s stunning main street appears like an exhibition of opulent mansions housing the most illustrious Maisons de Champagne: Moët & Chandon, Perrier-Jouet, Mercier, etc. Not to mention the 100km of tunnels under the pavement! After a short walk around town, it will be time to visit our first Champagne winery.</p><p><b>Guided tour and tasting at Maison de Champagne Moët & Chandon (or similar)</b></p><p>Founded in 1743 by Claude Möet, it became within 40 years the first international brand in the world. Its history is linked to some famous figures such as The Marquise de Pompadour and Napoleon 1st. This Champagne is also sold to many important historical events among which King Edwards VII’s coronation, Cannes Film Festival, the 120th anniversary of the Liberty Statue. It is probably nowadays the most famous Champagne brand around the world.</p><p>Your tour in Moët & Chandon winery is the Grand Vintage Tour. Every Vintage is the free and personal interpretation of the cellar-master, revealing the identity of the harvest. Following the visit of the cellars, fall in love with the smoothness and freshness of the Grand Vintage white and rosé by Moët & Chandon.</p><p><b>Optional Champagne tasting Lunch at a local domain</b></p><p>The estate dates back to the French revolution and has been photographed since the harvest of 1896. Pierre developed the family vineyard just after the first world war, at the same time becoming a grape broker and Champagne wine merchant. In 1929, Pierre set up his own pressing centre and started to make wine. In 1947 with his 2 sons Jacques and Jean-Guy he created the brand Champagne Jacquinot et Fils.</p><p>The family business was set up in the Epernay cellar. Jacques looked after sales and Jean-Guy developed the vineyard which today covers 17 ha and makes wines of the highest quality. Jean-Manuel, Jean-Guy’s son, oenologist in charge of production since 1998 is now running the Estate with the help of François Nicolet, Jacques’s son-in-law.</p><p><b>Hautvillers sightseeing</b></p><p>After lunch, we take you to the Marne Valley Champagne vineyards on a journey through the vineyard to meet with another prestigious figure: Dom Perignon who finalized the process to elaborate Champagne. He highly contributed to the fame of Champagne and is now buried in the church of the former Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers.</p><p><b>Final Tour and Champagne tasting</b></p><p>Your small group Private Champagne Tour continues at a local domain in Damery. Established in 1912, in the heart of the Champagne vineyards that are classified Unesco World Heritage Site, close to Epernay, the Champagne House J. de Telmont is one of the last Family owned Champagne Houses.</p><p>In the heritage of a winegrowers’ family, the Champagne producer House J. de Telmont owns 36 hectares of vineyard located in prestigious villages, where they grow the 3 grape varieties of Champagne: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. For 4 generations now, J. de Telmont is keeping up with pleasure and dynamism in the Art of welcoming guests.</p><p>After the tasting, we will return to Epernay and that will be the end of our services.</p><p><b>Note : In the event that the Champagne House we had originally planned to visit is not available, it will be replaced with a similar Champagne House. The tour of the Champagne House may be conducted with other people, depending on the size of the group. This is common practice in order to provide everyone with an enjoyable and informative experience</b>.</p>

Their champagne Plaisir d’Antan is for instance a good example of this philosophy.</p><p>Made of a 100 percent Chardonnay, this Cuvée is aged in oak casks as it was before the creation of stainless steel vats giving a unique taste to the Champagne.

[name] => Bordeaux Beyond the Bottle: Private Gourmet Food & Wine Tour
[durationMinutes] => 150
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 10080
[shortDescription] => Enjoy a Private Gourmet Tour in Bordeaux with an expert local guide. Visit Bordeaux on a walking tour and stop to taste the most emblematic local delicacies such as Cannelé, Dunes Blanches, Cured Meats, and many more.
[description] => <p><b>Discover our Bordeaux gourmet food walking tour</b> </p><p>Follow one of our expert guides through the streets of Historical Bordeaux and taste some of the most delicious food and wines of the region. Departing from a centrally located meeting point, this private tour will begin by a short walk in the city center that will take you along the famous Place des Quinconces and through the narrow streets of the heart of the city.</p><p><b>The Cannelé of Bordeaux</b></p><p>Your food tour in Bordeaux includes a number of stops that will delight your taste buds. On your way to your first stop, you will have the pleasure to taste a cannelé, Bordeaux's most famous cake. In the 16th century, to filter the wine, egg white was used by the winemakers to obtain a wine with less particles. </p><p>The egg yolk, not needed for this process, was given to the nuns of the Annonciades Convent who would also obtain wheat and rhum on the docks of Bordeaux. With these ingrediants, they created cakes that were given to the poor or needy. The cakes did not look like the one's you will taste on your food tour. It wasn't until the early 1900's that the cake will take this typical shape that we know today, completely redesigned by a Bordeaux Pastry Chef.</p><p><b>Basque Country Cured Meats & Delicacies</b></p><p>Your goumet tour will include Basque specialties. Located just a mear 2 hours south of Bordeaux, the Basque country is home to many delicacies including its cured meats. In this local shop popular with locals you will taste products that respect tradition, seasons, nature one of the most famous being the Kintoa PDO ham & meats. The ham is cured for 16 to 18 months and produces a dark red marbled meat. </p><p>The Basque country is also famous for being one of the most important chocolate destination in France. The first traces of hot chocolate served in France is mentioned in the town of Bayonne where the cocoa first arrived in the 17th century. Since 1895, the Pariès Family excels in Chocolate making and is today recognized as one of the most famous chocolate makers of France. The most famous products of this Chocolate Maker include the Mouchou and the Kanouga which you can taste on your tour today depending on the itinerary you plan with your guide.</p><p><b>The Dunes Blanches</b></p><p>Taste one of the most delicious deserts that can be found in Bordeaux, the Dunes Blanches. Dune Blanche is a delicious little crispy chou bun topped with a cream as light as a cloud. This lovingly garnished chou bun is a concentrate of happiness. Legend has it that the son of a famous baker of Cap Ferret, coming home after a long night out, mixes a Chouquette (sugar puffs) with a very light cream, secret of the family. The Dunes Blanches were born!</p><p><b>Food & Wine Pairing</b></p><p>It would be impossible to follow a Bordeaux Gourmet Tour without including local Bordeaux wines and what pairs the best with it: cheese or chocolate. Depending on the time of the day and your desires, the tasting will be salty or sweet. The goal here, is to have you experience simple pairings that you will be able to reproduce at home. On this stop it will be all about food & wine pairing !</p><p> </p>

[description] => <p><b>Discover the Wines of Sauternes region of Bordeaux</b></p><p>The Sauternes wine region is famous for the high quality sweet white wines that are produced here. The most famous winery of the region is Chateau d’Yquem that was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines. Sauternes wines are made in great majority with Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to which are added in much lesser amounts Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris.</p><p>The wines of Sauternes are produced thanks to the action of a fungus, Botrytis Cinerea that causes the grapes to rot. This process is called the noble rot when it comes to take place on healthy grapes and under a favorable climate.</p><p>The local climate of Sauternes during the summer time is usually composed of morning mist followed by warm and dry afternoons which has the effect to dry the grapes, reduce the water content and concentrate the sugar. The result is the making of an intensely sweet, gold colored wine with strong aromas of honeysuckle, blossom and stone. </p><p><b>From Bordeaux, reach Château d'Yquem & the Sauternes wine region</b></p><p>Today, we will come and pick you up at your hotel in Bordeaux. Participate in a unique experience as you visit a 1er Grand Cru Classé of 1855 in the Sauternes wine producing region of Bordeaux. Château d'Yquem is without a doubt the flagship of the appellation and produces one of the most famous sweet white wines in the world. </p><p></p><p>On this "Anthology Tour" of Château d'Yquem you will visit the grounds of the Chateau followed by the technical installations. Learn about the Botrytis cinerea fungus that affects the grape causing them to become partially raisined and how this helps to obtain a sweet white wine. Your tour will continue with a tasting of Yquem wines including 2016 and 2010 Château d'Yquem.</p><p>After the visit, we will transfer you back to Bordeaux.</p>

[description] => <p><b>Discover the Wines of Sauternes region of Bordeaux</b></p><p>The Sauternes wine region is famous for the high quality sweet white wines that are produced here. The most famous winery of the region is Chateau d’Yquem that was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines. Sauternes wines are made in great majority with Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to which are added in much lesser amounts Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris.</p><p>The wines of Sauternes are produced thanks to the action of a fungus, Botrytis Cinerea that causes the grapes to rot. This process is called the noble rot when it comes to take place on healthy grapes and under a favorable climate.</p><p>The local climate of Sauternes during the summer time is usually composed of morning mist followed by warm and dry afternoons which has the effect to dry the grapes, reduce the water content and concentrate the sugar. The result is the making of an intensely sweet, gold colored wine with strong aromas of honeysuckle, blossom and stone. </p><p><b>From Bordeaux, reach Château d'Yquem & the Sauternes wine region</b></p><p>Today, we will come and pick you up at your hotel in Bordeaux. Participate in a unique experience as you visit a 1er Grand Cru Classé of 1855 in the Sauternes wine producing region of Bordeaux.

Learn about the Botrytis cinerea fungus that affects the grape causing them to become partially raisined and how this helps to obtain a sweet white wine. Your tour will continue with a tasting of Yquem wine including Château d'Yquem 2016 vintage.</p><p>After the visit, we will transfer you back to Bordeaux.</p>

Meet your English speaking tour guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the evening with you. Then, board your premium A/C vehicle and begin your private tour. Start to make your way to French Riviera and the principality of Monaco.</p><p><b>A bit of History about Monaco</b></p><p>Historically, Monaco was part of France, but in 1215, it became a colony of Genoa (Italy) through a land grant from Emperor Henry VI. The Grimaldi family settled in Monaco in 1297 and ancestors of the family have controlled the principality for over 715 years now.</p><p>In 1419, the Grimaldi family acquired Monaco from the French ruling family of Aragon. Monaco has since been under Spanish, Italian and Sardinian protection. In 1793, French revolutionary troops captured Monaco, keeping it until 1814, when the Grimaldi family returned to power. Today, Monaco is governed by a constitutional monarchy, but is a protectorate of France.</p><p>In 1949, Prince Rainier III ascended to the throne of Monaco and married the beautiful American actress, Grace Kelly in 1956. Prince Rainier III played an important role in bringing economic prosperity to the area and his wife played a large part in promoting the arts and bringing glamour to the small nation. Together, they had three children, Caroline, Albert and Stephanie. </p><p><b>Reach Monaco</b></p><p>Once you arrive in Monaco, enjoy a panoramic tour to get your bearings. Drive along the F1 Grand Prix track, admire the Casino square, the Café de Paris, the Marina and drop off near the Palace to take some pictures. Then it will be time for you to enjoy your evening in the chic atmosphere on Monaco. Dine in one of the prestigious restaurants of the Principality (at own expense) then why not try your luck at the Grand Casino. Please note that admission is around 20€ per person and that there are strict codes for entering Casinos.</p><p><b>Return to Nice</b></p><p>As your evening ends in Monaco, it will be time for us to take you back to your hotel in Nice. </p>

[description] => <span><p><strong>Private Graves & Sauternes Wine Tour from Saint-Emilion – Full-Day Experience</strong></p><p><strong>Personalized Pick-Up from Your Saint-Emilion Accommodation</strong></p><p>Begin your exclusive Bordeaux wine adventure with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or accommodation in Saint-Emilion. Meet your English-speaking driver-guide, a local expert in Bordeaux wines. They will review the day’s itinerary and ensure everything is tailored to your preferences. Afterward, settle into your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and embark on a scenic journey to the renowned Graves and Sauternes wine regions.</p><p><strong>Travel in Comfort with a Premium Mercedes Minivan</strong></p><p>Your full-day Bordeaux wine tour is conducted in a spacious Mercedes minivan, designed for up to 8 passengers. With air conditioning, an onboard P/A system, you’ll enjoy a smooth and informative ride, no matter where you sit.</p><p><strong>Explore the Historic Graves Wine Region</strong></p><p>Departing from Saint-Emilion, you’ll travel to the picturesque left bank, home to the prestigious Graves wine region. This area is celebrated for its rich winemaking heritage, dating back nearly 2,000 years to when the Romans first planted vineyards here. The region’s name, “Graves,” refers to its deep layers of gravel, stone, and sand, which give its wines distinct characteristics.</p><p>The Graves AOC is famous for its full-bodied red wines, primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Your first stop will be a carefully selected winery, such as Château Haut-Bailly, Château La Louvière, or Château Carbonnieux. Enjoy a private tour led by the winery's expert guide, followed by a tasting of both red and white wines produced on the estate.</p><p><strong>Discover Pessac-Léognan: Bordeaux's Premium Wine Appellation</strong></p><p>As you continue your journey, you’ll explore the Pessac-Léognan appellation, a prestigious sub-region of Graves known for its high-quality wines. Awarded its own appellation in 1987, Pessac-Léognan produces both red and white wines of exceptional quality. The region’s terroir, rich in gravel and stones, creates ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon grapes.</p><p>One of the most iconic wineries in this area is Château Haut-Brion, a First Growth in the 1855 classification and the only one located outside the Médoc and Sauternes regions. A visit to a top Pessac-Léognan winery will offer you an in-depth look at the winemaking process, followed by tastings that showcase the estate’s best wines.</p><p><strong>Afternoon Visit to the Sauternes Wine Region</strong></p><p>After lunch, your tour continues to Sauternes, world-famous for its sweet white wines. The region’s most renowned estate, Château d’Yquem, holds the prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé status. Sauternes wines are crafted primarily from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, with the unique influence of Botrytis Cinerea, a beneficial fungus that causes “noble rot.” This process concentrates the sugars in the grapes, producing intensely sweet, golden wines with rich aromas of honeysuckle, stone fruits, and florals.</p><p>At a prestigious Sauternes estate, you’ll explore the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle, learning how this exceptional wine is crafted. Following the tour, enjoy a guided tasting of these unique dessert wines and discover the best food pairings for Sauternes, from savory dishes to sweet treats.</p><p><strong>Return to Saint-Emilion</strong></p><p>After a day filled with wine, history, and breathtaking scenery, your private guide will bring you back to your accommodation in Saint-Emilion. This full-day tour offers an unparalleled experience of Bordeaux’s left bank wine regions, perfect for both wine enthusiasts and those new to the world of Bordeaux wines.</p><p><strong>Book Your Private Graves & Sauternes Wine Tour Today</strong></p><p>Secure your place on this exclusive private tour to discover the world-renowned wine regions of Graves and Sauternes.

[description] => <p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide</b></p><p>This afternoon, meet your local guide who is an expert in Languedoc wines and who will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you. Board your premium A/C minivan, and begin to make your way towards the Pic Saint Loup Wine producing region.</p><p><b>Reach the Pic Saint Loup Wine Region</b></p><p>20km north of Montpellier, the Pic Saint-Loup and Hortus Causse form a picturesque and geologically surprising landscape that has become a favourite for hiking around Montpellier. Located between the Mediterranean and the Cevennes, this legendary valley is home to one of the most interesting Languedoc terroirs.</p><p><b>Visit and Wine Tasting in two Wineries</b></p><p>Your small group half day languedoc wine tour includes the visit of two wineries. During the winery tours, experience commented wine tasting sessions so as to better understand the types of wines that are made in the area. During the visits, you'll learn all about wine, from the working of the vines to vinification and aging. </p><p>You will also learn about the type of grape varieties that are used and be introduced to the notion of Biodynamic wine making. A large majority of wineries of the area have also decided to produce only organic wines.</p><p><b>More information about Pic Saint Loup Vineyard</b></p><p>The Pic Saint-Loup wine growing region extends from the first Cévennes foothills in the Garrigues area north of Montpellier and about 30 kms from the Mediterranean coast. Anchored in a landscape shaped by the natural and legendary sculptures of Pic Saint Loup and Causse de l'Hortus, this little piece of Languedoc has all the advantages of a great terroir. </p><p>The main grape varieties that are used here include Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre that are common grapes used in the Languedoc wine producing region. Originally Grenache used to be the main grape but today Syrah has replaced it. This particular grape variety has found its terroir of predilection in Pic Saint Loup.</p><p>The wines of Pic Saint Loup include red and rosé wines. 90% of the production is red wine that benefits from the aromatic freshness of the garrigue, with notes of thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, cade, menthol, associated with aromas of red and black berries. The finesse of the tannins and the freshness offer balanced and elegant wines.</p><p></p>
