Experience the heart of Bordeaux’s famous wine region, where many vineyards carry the Graves and Pessac Léognan AOC designation. Each of these local wineries produce vintages with distinct soil features backed by a long winemaking heritage.
Located South of Bordeaux, this wine region is known to be the original wine-producing region of Bordeaux. Your first major stop on this personalized Graves half-day trip will be in one of the local estates for a visit and tasting at a Grand Cru Chateau. You'll be greeted at the Chateau and will get to tour and taste different vintages in this carefully selected domain. Your expert, WSET-certified guide will be with you during the guided tour so don't hesitate to ask any questions about history, technique, flavors, aromas, food and wine pairings.
The red wines of Pessac Léognan are based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. The white wines produced here are generally made of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes. The soil is quite similar to the one that can be found in the Graves region which is mainly gravel, stone and sand. There, you'll stop at a carefully selected winery where you'll be tasting the different wines of the estate including white and red wines. After the visit, it will be time to head back to Bordeaux which is just a short drive away.
