INDULGE IN THE GOOD LIFE

The French have an expression, “Vivre la Vie de Château”. It conjures in the Gallic imagination a life of comfort and ease, harking back to the days when the château was the hub of local life and the owners’ wealth, power and influence gave them unmatched status and privilege. You might call it the good life.

A WINE LOVER’S PARADISE

HOSTED BORDEAUX WINE TOURS

Here, wine is simply a way of life. With over 5,000 individual châteaux, bottling under 8,000 different labels, Bordeaux is the largest, most prestigious and prolific wine region in the world. Vines have been grown in the region for more than 2,000 years, building up Bordeaux’s reputation for the finest wines anywhere..

Whether you consider yourself a wine-buff, connoisseur or a curious novice, Bordeaux and its myriad of vineyards, châteaux and appellations has something for everyone. St Émilion & Pomerol, the Médoc, Graves, Sauterne, Right & Left Bank, Entre-deux-Mers, the list goes on.

Château Living’s private guided Bordeaux wine tours will match you with the right wine tour experience. Our English-speaking wine experts will accompany you directly from your château on a fascinating chauffeur driven tour to the region’s finest wine-producing châteaux to which we have exclusive access.

You’ll become immersed in the vignoble’s art, understand the whole process from grape to glass and learn of the significance of terroir, vine varieties, the complexities of fermentation and methods of ageing that contribute to each wine’s unique character.  Having sampled a selection of the château’s offerings, before moving on to your next chateau you’ll enjoy a fabulous food and wine pairing at a local Michelin-starred restaurant for lunch.

Your own château’s vineyard

All of our châteaux are working vineyards, producing their own wine to exacting standards and ancient techniques. It’s a unique opportunity for you and your guests to experience and explore the true beauty of the vine. We can arrange a comprehensive, informative and hands-on Bordeaux wine tours of your very own château, including an in-depth tasting of vintages, followed by a delicious feast prepared by our own chefs.
