Blends of Bordeaux Wines
We have met every wine producer and meticulously selected vineyards to suit all palates, but if you want to taste a specific wine, or meet the producer of your favourite château, we will do our best to accommodate you.
Bordeaux is the most famous and highly coveted wine blend in the world. Our bespoke holidays and mini breaks incorporate a rare opportunity to taste wines such as Margaux, Pessac-Léognan, Sauternes, Pomerol, Saint-Émilion, to name just a few, all of which are less than an hour from Bordeaux. And you don’t have to be expert in wine to appreciate!
We can also recommend local wine bars where you can end of a good round of golf, before sampling our local gastronomy.

No map reflects a region’s gastronomy quite like that of Aquitaine. On its western seaboard, close to where the broad Garonne river flows into the Atlantic, the alluvial plain is studded with some of the most famous names in wine. Bordeaux and the region produces world-famous specialities and produce from oysters from the Bay of Arcachon; milk-fed Pauillac lamb grazed on the Médoc marshes; we rear ducks for magret de canard (duck breast), and the asparagus is wonderful.
