Fully Guided

Rural Bordeaux 6 day Tour

Day 1
You will be met at Bordeaux Airport and will be transferred by private minibus to Les Mondains ( a 500 year old farmhouse). On arrival you will be greeted with a welcome glass of bubbles, followed by dinner and plenty of wine tasting.

Day 2
We have a lovely day planned for you! Starting with a traditional breakfast at the farmhouse, followed by a guided walk through the countryside and vines at Chateau les Grimand it is a great way to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area.

After the walk, you'll enjoy a 3 course lunch with Bernard Havard (the wine maker) where you will have the opportunity to sample his vast range of wines and ask questions informally throughout the meal.

Next, you will visit a working chai. Here you will have the chance to observe the wine making process firsthand.

In the late afternoon you will head back to Les Mondains, where you can relax by the pool and unwind and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the surroundings.

Finally, the day concludes with a buffet-style evening meal. Overall your day includes a blend of exploration, gastronomy and relaxation. A choice of wine is readily available and always included with activities at the farmhouse.

Day 3
Breakfast today will be at a local Patisserie / Boulangerie. After this you will be transferred to the world unesco heritage site of Saint Emilion (20 minutes away). Here you will have a guided tour of Saint Emilion. The town is famous for its underground catacombs, and you can visit some of the historic cellars where wine is still produced today. There will be plenty of time to visit the numerous wine shops and boutiques. Don't forget to try the macarons and other local delicacies as well. You will be free to have lunch or a snack at your leisure.

At the end of your day trip, we will transfer you back to Les Mondains where a 3 course dinner with wine will be served to you at the farmhouse by a local chef.

Day 4
Start your day with a delicious breakfast in Eymet. This town is known for its charming streets and lively atmosphere.

Thursday is local market day so after breakfast why not take some time to stroll around the town and explore the local market. The market in Eymet is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and discover a wide range of local products which range from fresh produce and regional delicacies to handmade crafts and unique souvenirs.

There are many local cafes where you are free to have a sandwich or just immerse yourself in French cafe life and watch the world go by.

In the late afternoon, you have two options. You can either join a guided walk through the vineyards of rural Bordeaux, you can return to the farmhouse and relax by the pool with a glass of rose.

Tonight you will head out for a gala dinner. A 7 course gastronomic feast with a different wine served with each course. This restaurant is only a 10 minute drive from the farmhouse.

Day 5
You will start the day with breakfast at the farmhouse, followed by a refreshing walk. Afterwards you will visit the town of Bergerac which will provide you with a charming experience. Exploring the old town and taking a trip to the Maison du Vin. You can opt to take a boat trip along the Dordogne River which is another fantastic activity. It will allow you to enjoy the scenic beauty of the region and provide a different prospective of the area. The Dordogne River is known for its picturesque landscapes, so you are in for a treat!

For lunch you have a choice of dining at a local creperie or sharing a platter with a glass of wine on the terrace of the Maison du Vin. Late afternoon you will be transferred back to Les Mondains where you can relax in the secluded walled garden by the pool overlooking the walnut grove.

In the evening we will have a buffet type meal together (meats/cheeses/salad/baquette) reflecting on the great fun we have had over the past few days.....

Day 6
After a hearty breakfast at the farmhouse you will have some free time before we head back to Bordeaux Airport for your flight home.
