Overview


Uncork the Magic of Bordeaux: A River Cruise Through France's Wine Country

Imagine gliding through the heart of France, where rolling vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see and the scent of fine wine hangs in the air. This isn't just a trip; it's an immersive journey into the art of winemaking as you cruise along three spectacular French rivers: the Gironde, Dordogne, and Garonne.

Bordeaux isn't just a place; it's a legendary wine region where every bottle tells a story of centuries-old craftsmanship. Here, the landscapes are as intoxicating as the wines – undulating hills, lush green vistas, and picturesque villages beckon you to explore. And of course, every exquisite wine is paired with delicious French fare, prepared with finesse and flair.

As you drift along, you'll have endless opportunities for adventure. Cycle through idyllic countryside, learn the secrets of the winemaking process, and even try your hand at French cuisine in a hands-on cooking class. Beyond the culinary delights, you'll uncover a treasure trove of history, from elegant châteaux that whisper tales of bygone eras to ancient churches that predate the New World.

Bordeaux is everything you've dreamed of and more: beautiful, romantic, and an unforgettable feast for all your senses. Are you ready to embark on this extraordinary adventure?
