WINE TOURISM IN BORDEAUX
France is probably the country with the most renowned wines in the world; among the areas where wine culture is most prominent, Bordeaux holds a dominant place on its own merits.
In Viavinum we organize exclusive wine tours in the Bordeaux region, our experience in wine tourism makes it possible for you to enjoy the essence of this remarkable region.
The Bordeaux wine region is located in Aquitaine, in the southwest part of France.
The exceptional geological and climatic conditions of the region gives the wines an advantage; calcium-rich soils and the Gironde estuary and Garonne and Dordogne rivers irrigate the soil and provide enough water for the growth of its grapevines.
Generally, a variety of grapes are used for wine production: for reds, some of the best grapes are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot and for whites, the best are Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle.
