Quick Details
Wine is a huge part of the culture and gastronomy of France. With its origins in the Roman Empire, France is the country with the second most vineyards in the world.
From San Sebastián, you will travel to Bordeaux in private transport while you admire the oceanic landscapes. Once in France, you will visit a Château, a castle where for decades wine has been produced. At Château du Payre you will learn about the care of the vineyards and the production of wine and also about Clemente V, as he was called, a pope who was known for his sophisticated and innovative techniques in the collection and treatment of grapes. You will get the chance to try some different wines and learn about the differences between them and Spanish wine.
After the visit, you will return to your private transportation, as it is time to move to the French capital of wine, Bordeaux! Here, you will enjoy a full private guided tour to learn about its history. You will visit landmarks like the gothic Cathedral of Saint André, the Place de la Bourse, and its imperial theaters and churches. You will walk around the different neighborhoods, where you can also find the Place du Parlament.
After walking through the city’s beautiful streets, you will have free time to eat and discover the city’s gastronomy. We recommend you try their special Bordeaux sauce, typical of the area, and accompany it with a glass of wine since you are in a city that is highly dedicated to the wine industry.
After this experience, you will feel entirely like a winemaker, having learned about its process, its importance in French culture, and great production that travels many countries!
