Bordeaux (Days 1, 2, 7, 8)

Sixty-one miles up the Garonne River, lies the port of Bordeaux, the capital of France´s wine country. The Romans were the first to introduce grapes into the region, and by the 14th century Bordeaux was producing over one million cases a year. Journey through the hilly countryside to the picturesque village of St Emillion and taste the wines that have made this region famous.
Attractions & Activities
Surrounding Bordeaux are the world-renowned vineyards and wine châteaux. Visitors from all over the globe come here to learn about the wine-making process - from growing the grapes to the harvesting, fermentation and bottling of top-quality wines. The city’s single most important economic activity is centered around the marketing and exporting of the region’s prestigious wines. Many travelers come here for the single purpose of visiting the cellars of esteemed châteaux and sampling the product. However, one has to keep in mind, that the title "château" can mean anything from a palatial residence to a basic winery. There are thousands of wine châteaux scattered through the countryside, ranging from very modest family establishments to celebrated properties – but all are dedicated to producing the area’s renowned wines.

Cadillac (Day 3)

The city of Cadillac is a small town located south west of France. The city of Cadillac is located in the department of Gironde of the french region Aquitaine. The city of Cadillac is located in the township of Cadillac part of the district of Langon.

Libourne (Day 4)

Just 30 km from Bordeaux and 8 km from Saint Emilion, Libourne is another great wine-growing bastion in Aquitaine, located on the seam which joins the greatest red wine producing areas in France, at the meeting point of the Isle and Dordogne rivers. Libourne was fortified in 1270 by order of Prince Edward, son of Henry III of England.

Bourg (Day 5)

Less formally known as Bourg-sur-Gironde, is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

Blaye (Day 5)

The citadel of Blaye is a small, tranquil town and a nice tourist attraction. A beautiful spot, it has grass, trees, birds and a spectacular view over the Gironde estuary.
