Bordeaux: Between Left Bank and Right Bank

6 Days | Left Bank · Right Bank (Minimal City Time)

A calm, layered exploration of Bordeaux’s dual identity, with time split between vineyard-set stays on the Left Bank and château-style intimacy on the Right Bank.

Where You Stay

A journey of contrasts between two storied banks. You will begin at a refined vineyard estate in the heart of the Médoc’s gravel-rich soil, moving later to a hilltop château overlooking the limestone caves of Saint-Émilion. Each stay offers direct access to the vines and the quiet rhythms of production.

Day 1

Arrival & The Spirit of the Médoc

Arrive in Bordeaux where your private transfer awaits. Journey deep into the Médoc to settle into your vineyard-set estate. The evening begins with an orientation tasting of aged vintages led by the cellar master, followed by a chef-prepared welcome dinner spotlighting the region’s robust culinary heritage.

Day 2

The Power of Cabernet & First Growths

A morning focused on the limestone-over-gravel soils of Pauillac. Private access to iconic First Growth parcels allows you to walk the rows before a cellar tour. In the afternoon, explore the communal differences of Saint-Julien, ending with a blending workshop to understand the architectural role of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Day 3

Estuary Rhythms & Margaux Elegance

Move from power to finesse. Spend a dedicated day in Margaux, visiting historic cellars where the focus is on floral aromatics and silk-textured tannins. Enjoy an outdoor farmhouse lunch overlooking the estuary before an afternoon at leisure to enjoy the quiet luxury and gardens of your estate stay.

Day 4

Crossing to the Right Bank & Pomerol

A scenic drive across the Gironde marks your transition to the Right Bank. Discover the small-scale, artisan world of Pomerol, where Merlot reigns. After an intimate visit to a family producer, check into your second home—a private boutique château overlooking the village of Saint-Émilion.

Day 5

Limestone Caves & The Merlot Slopes

Dedicate the day to the UNESCO heritage of Saint-Émilion. Explore the subterranean world of limestone caves that serve as perfect natural cellars. Vertical tastings track the interplay of solar rhythms and cool stone before a private sunset dinner overlooking the ancient village slopes.

Day 6

Market Rhythms & Farewell Masterclass

A final morning visiting the local producer’s market with the château chef to select seasonal ingredients. Participate in a short masterclass focused on salt, fat, and tannins, followed by a farewell lunch. Private transfer to Bordeaux-Mérignac concludes your journey.
