Why not take off on a French adventure this autumn and discover the famous wine-growing region of Bordeaux?
Food and wine feature heavily on the agenda all over France but here in Bordeaux, you can really get the heart of the matter…or rather the heart of the grape!
The best way to experience the produce of this region is to take a guided tour with a local expert and get a taste of some of the world’s most famous wines.
The wine tours available will give you the chance to sample typical wines of the region as well as enjoying guided tours of the cellars and workshops.
There’s also informative commentary on the wine-making process.
I’m sure it will come in handy the next time you’re in the wine aisle of the supermarket!
