A CRUISE HOLIDAY IN BORDEAUX IS A MUST FOR ANY WINE LOVER. LEARN ABOUT THE REGION'S WINE PRODUCTION AND SAMPLE MANY VARIETIES.
Bordeaux’s fortunes have long been tied to viticulture, beginning with an expansion of the wine trade with England in the 14th century. As a result it is a handsome and cohesive city of uniform classical and neoclassical style, with monumental buildings and many fine estates financed by the almighty grape. The nearby countryside is alive with wine chateaux sporting impressive appellations such as Pauillac, Sauternes, Margaux, and Saint-Emilion. A visit is an excellent opportunity to learn more about wine production and appreciation, which of course requires a considerable amount of tasting to accomplish.
