To celebrate a special birthday, what better than to invite your friends to a fairytale château near Bordeaux! The birthday boy, working in London, invited his US friends to meet him in France for an unforgettable celebration weekend.

Château Living took care of all of the hospitality details from arrival to departure; providing delicious breakfasts, grazing lunches and sumptuous dinners. For some the days started early with an exercise class; stretching, followed by a run through the vines and into the forest.

Others were able to enjoy a massage to help them unwind. Nobody missed the wine tour visiting fine Bordeaux region château vineyards and tasting some exceptional vintage wines. All-in-all it was a splendid occasion – many happy returns!
