Graves Wine region tour

Half a day of wine tasting and châteaux near Bordeaux

WITH
Frédéric | about the guide

This private half-day tour offers you an indulgent introduction to wines from the Graves region, near Bordeaux. You’ll find out more about how the wine is made, plunge into the history of wine-making and French châteaux and sample the nuanced flavors of a careful selection of local wines. During your tour, you’ll be whisked off in a luxury private vehicle to discover 2 historic châteaux, accompanied by your private guide, an experienced wine professional who knows the area inside out.
Your first destination? Château Carbonnieux, a 13th century castle located on a nice gravelly slope. Accompanied by the owners you will visit the grounds and will discover the whole process of wine production, starting with reception of the grapes and ending with stocking in the underground cellars. You will learn all about the history of this place founded by monks and will enjoy a wine tasting session of two classified Grand Cru wines.
The second stop? The Château Cerons and its magnificent 17th century barrel cellar. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of the interiors of the château, the vineyard and cellars, before sampling 3 more local wines (red, white and sweat that is the speciality of this place).
You can finish your day with a traditional lunch in a nearby restaurant recommended by your guide before going back to Bordeaux.

Bordeaux

languages :
Anglais/English, Français/French

I was born in Bordeaux and raised in a family of winegrowers. Studying and working with wine for the next 20 years – in our vineyards, at different châteaux and in selling wine - was therefore a natural choice. I decided that I wanted a change and had the idea of giving guided wine tours dedicated to Bordeaux, wine, tastings, oysters and French cuisine from the point of view of a wine professional. I like meeting people, discovering new cultures and developing personalized relationships. Wine is my big passion, I am certified WSET level 3 in wine since September 2020 and at home I have an impressive wine collection. And, as wine and good food go hand in hand, I also like eating. Apart from that, I enjoy playing tennis, travelling and I’m currently learning Portuguese.
