Award winning Off the Beaten Path Tours voted BEST small group tours in France for active travelers by Conde Nast Traveler, Forbes Traveler, CNN Traveller, The New York Times and Travel & Leisure!
Join Off the Beaten Path on this 5 day/4 night wine and culinary walking tour of the Bordeaux and Saint Emilion wine region for unparalleled fun, great food and exceptional wines. Enjoy exclusive winery tours, VIP wine tasting, and discover classified wine estates (chateaux) in a relaxing, unpretentious small group! As wine industry insiders, we secure winery tours and VIP wine tasting that are unavailable to the public. In addition to winery tours and tastings, share in authentic local experiences along the roads less traveled during daily walks of prestigious vineyards. Stop for photo ops, to pick some grapes, smell the flowers and talk to the field workers. In the evenings, participate in cooking classes with local, celebrity chefs in their homes, one a 19th century castle and the other a traditional farm home in Sauternes. Our day in Saint Emilion sets the stage for another wine lover's experience during our private wine appreciation and tasting workshop with our friends Patrick and Jean-Louis. Come as a couple, come alone or bring a friend or colleague, and enjoy the best Bordeaux and Saint Emilion have to offer!
Blurb from our feature interview with Forbes: "Exclusivity is the key word to describe all our small group tours," notes Off the Beaten Path LLC's president, Christy Destremau. That helps in an area like Bordeaux, whose vineyards are far more cloistered than their counterparts in Napa. On this five day tour, local connections ensure much more than just a spot on the guest list: they also grant you private, VIP grand cru wine tastings and gourmet picnics amidst the grapevines. Lodging throughout the trip is at a luxury spa resort nestled amidst the grand cru vineyards.
