And why you won’t regret this little epicurean jaunt!
A journey through time: history, tradition and innovation
The vineyards of Bordeaux are more than just a picture-postcard backdrop of impeccable vines stretching as far as the eye can see. They tell a story that goes back centuries. Each château has its own anecdotes, family secrets and traditions handed down from generation to generation. But Bordeauxis not just a return to basics. Vineyards are innovating, and young winemakers are shaking up codes and daring to experiment. A true journey through time, where each estate you visit plunges you into a new era.
What if you could be part of it? Imagine a private tour of a château where the owner, glass in hand, takes you behind the scenes of the winemaking process. Now that’s an experience you can’t improvise!
The right time to visit? All year round!
To the fateful question: “When is the best time to visit the Bordeaux vineyards ?“. The answer is simple: it depends on what you’re looking for! In autumn, the magic of the grape harvest takes place. The air is cool, the grapes are ripe, and effervescence is at its peak. In spring, the vines awaken, the greenery explodes, and the atmosphere is one of renewal. Even in winter, some estates open their doors for wine tastings in the hushed intimacy of their cellars.
The choice is vast, but the most important thing is to be well accompanied. Atlantique Berlines adapts its Wine Tours and Wine Trips to the seasons and to your wishes. Would you like to attend the grape harvest, or discover vine pruning in February? They can take you there in style and comfort.
Wine, yes… but not only!
We’re not going to lie to ourselves: we come to the Bordeaux vineyards to taste wine. But to reduce Bordeaux to that is to miss the point. The region abounds in breathtaking medieval villages , secluded inns serving local dishes, and even art galleries nestled in renovated wine cellars.
Imagine a perfect day: morning tasting at a historic château, lunch at a small inn that makes the best entrecôte with porcini mushrooms in the area, then a digestive stroll through a medieval village… before ending the day at a spa nestled among the vines. A dream program, don’t you think? Atlantique Berlines is there to orchestrate this epicurean ballet, thinking of every detail for you.
The key to authenticity: exclusive experiences
Big bus tours, group tastings in impersonal rooms… not for you! What today’s travelers are looking for is theauthentic, the real, theoriginal. Wine tasting in the cellars, by candlelight? A private dinner with perfectly executed food and wine pairings in a small château? These experiences are rare, but they do exist.
By planning ahead with a service like Atlantique Berlines, you can experience these unique moments. No waiting, no crowds, just you, a good glass, and the story of a wine told by those who make it.
