Bordeaux Luxury Wine & Cultural Tour

Bordeaux is the fifth largest city in France but also one of the most elegant and picturesque town reputed for its unique lifestyle. You will enjoy its alive shopping streets, historic quarters, food markets, cafés, wine bars, traditional and gourmet restaurants.
The city gave its name to the legendary vineyard and outstanding chateaux. Ideally located at the Gironde river estuary, about 30 miles from the Atlantic coast, the city of Bordeaux was the largest port in France before the 1789 Revolution. The wine business contributed to make merchants fortunate and to create a fabulous architectural heritage: private mansions, theaters and museums, tree-shaded thoroughfares and large avenues that invite to walks, beautifully designed river banks facing classified buildings such as Hotel de la Bourse, Grand Pavilion and fountains.
