OUR PRIVATE TOUR
Are you a food lover? Then France is the perfect place to be! Better yet, why not learn the secrets to French cuisine with your very own small group cooking class! Whether it’s for a team building, a birthday, a hen party or stag party, even for a romantic getaway, Bordeaux Wine Trails offers you a moment that will delight foodies and culinary enthusiasts alike.
In the heart of the Saint-Emilion wine region near Bordeaux, your group will cook in the kitchens of a famous chateau, learning how to prepare a gastronomic meal by a local chef!
You will then dine and savor the meal you’ve prepared in the great hall of the chateau. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture, history and architecture of Saint-Emilion, as the experience continues with a visit to a Grand Cru Classé vineyard for a wine tasting. Next, your personal guide will take you to a local wine cellar and shop to taste more of the region’s best wines.
Sit back and relax, and we will take care of everything. From your pick-up in Bordeaux, traveling to Saint-Emilion in a premium minivan, to being escorted around the prestigious chateaus and vineyards of the spectacular landscape, until you arrive back safe and satisfied to Bordeaux. It’s a real gourmet feast for all your senses!
