Wine Tastings at the wineries
This day is ideal for foodies and wine lovers who want an immersive, hands‑on experience in a Bordeaux château rather than a simple tasting. It suits adults and older teens who enjoy cooking, trying new dishes and learning about Médoc, Saint‑Émilion or Graves/Pessac‑Léognan wines in a relaxed, small‑group private setting. Travelers should be comfortable standing while cooking and walking short distances around the estates and cellars.
