Overview of your Bordeaux tour:

Commence this exclusive experience kicking things off from a spot in which wine was traded and exported around the world. We will pass by several landmarks which are unique to the wine trade, until we settle comfortably in an elegant wine bar in the city centre. There, you will taste 3 wines from different Bordeaux areas: Medoc, Graves, Saint Emilion, Sauternes, or Cremant. During this tasting, I will narrate the History of Bordeaux wine: from the Romans who first brought the vines to Bordeaux, to Eleanor of Aquitaine in the Middle Ages who never travelled without a barrel of Bordeaux, from the global wine trade in the 17th century, all through the famous Classification of 1855, which made Bordeaux rise to international fame and fortune. From the grapes and the vineyards, to the harvest til it reaches your glass: I will explain the famous blending of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and how each Bordeaux wine area has its unique character. Which one will be your favourite?
