The Wine Lovers Tour
France
8 days
On-road
Semi-Supported
A 7 night cycle tour for those who appreciate Bordeaux's supremacy as the wine cellar of France or who just want to enjoy rural France at a leisurely pace. It leaves Bordeaux on a long-distance cycle path to reach Chateau Dardenac for a first night and then next day takes you on to St Emilion where you have time to enjoy both the town and the many opportunities for sampling 'Grand Cru' or less famous names. Heading south across the valley bottom you then recross the Dordogne to briefly regain the cycle path before heading to St Macaire on the Garonne. Here you spend two nights that allow you to explore the Sauternes and other white wine terroirs before turning north to follow the Garonne valley through Graves vineyards to spend a night at Martillac in the Pessac-Leognan vineyards . Here you might link to make a circuit of this AOC or book a tour of a prestige chateau such as Chateau la Louviere or Chateau Smith Haute Lafite. The final ride into Bordeaux is then a short one and provides time to enjoy further wine discoveries in the city itself or perhaps just a little shoppng therapy in the Triangle d'or.
