​France's most classic wine region is also its largest: Bordeaux, spiritual home of Cabernet Sauvignon and one of the original collectible wine regions. This is a land of grand castles and huge, wealthy estates stretching unbroken miles along the generous banks of the Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde rivers in southwest France. Visit several legendary producers, many of them top-ranked since 1855. Our visits can include estates such as Leoville Baron, Lynch Bages, Pavie or Guiraud (Sauternes). Sleep in 5-star luxury in the charming medieval village of St. Emilion, and of course enjoy gastronomic meals paired with wines made nearby.  In our optional Alsace extension, charm and quaintness overflow. No wine region looks more like a Disney fairytale. The half-French, half-German heritage is expressed in half-timbered houses, gorgeous landscapes, vibrant, unchanged medieval village, and deep history, especially of World War I - along with fabulous dry white wines.
