When visiting Bordeaux, it is highly recommended to dedicate an entire day to exploring the world of wine! Begin your day with a visit to Bordeaux’s renowned Cité du Vin museum located in the heart of the city. This contemporary architectural masterpiece is where you can immerse yourself in exhibits that showcase the rich wine culture of the world throughout history, with a special focus on France. After you have completed your indoor exploration, embark on a scenic cruise along the Gironde Estuary to uncover the wines and heritage of the Haute-Gironde region.

During the boat ride, you will cruise past the picturesque fortified towns of Blaye and Bourg, with a delightful stop for lunch at a Côtes de Bourg estate where you can dine and converse with the winemaker himself. The impressive citadel of Blaye, which has stood the test of time since the 5th century, boasts nearly 1 mile (over 1 km) of ramparts, four bastions, moats, and underground passages. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical significance, Blaye is also the proud home of the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux wine appellation.
