Alsace, Bourgogne, Champagne, Bordeaux: the French landscape is the emblem of winemaking excellence and there is nothing better than combining a food and wine tour with a stay at an exclusive estate, a hôtel de charme or the dreamy château of one of our partners, like Bernard Magrez.

A visit to wineries closed to the general public is the perfect way to cap off a visit to these stunning surroundings. To crown the perfection of these French itineraries we’re off to the aristocratic residences of Château Pape Clément near Bordeaux, the splendid ex-monastery of Château Fombrauge, and Château La Tour Carnet, with its refined suites in quiet natural surroundings. These places rich in history are set in strategic winegrowing places where food is just as important as wine, distinguished by unique regional identities – all in the name of the art de vivre.
