By Alta Alexander


If one one would go to the country of France, he can be sure that he will be able to get a lot of great tasting wines there. Specifically, Bordeaux is a place that is very well known for its wine tours that would appeal to the tourists. For those interested in this, here are some things to know about Bordeaux wine tours.

Now before going into to detail about some of the places that will be visited, it is good to know about how the wine in this area became so famous. During the middle of the first century, the Romans were already creating vineyards wherein they could create wines for their own consumption. Now the people have been doing that until now since they have already perfected the art of creating this drink.

Now for those who would want to go on tour, basically one can do this by going to a company who would arrange these things. Of course what the company would do is that they would group different people in one team. From there, the group would go together on trips to different places in the country for tasting.

Now one place that is very famous for its drinks would be none other than Saint Emilion. For those who are not very familiar with this place, it is actually just a small village that has pretty much not been touched by civilization. Now this little village holds one of the biggest vineyards in the entire region which means that the wines here are exquisite.

Now the second place in the list would of course be the sub region known as Medoc. Medoc is known to have chateaus that would have really superb service. Now in the chateaus, there are a lot of wines that are given to the guests while they are on tour.

Yet another place that most groups would visit would be Sauternes. Now this place is not only very known for their different varieties of different white wines but also for their desserts and sweets. So if one loves to drink wine and has a sweet tooth to go with that, then he will definitely enjoy being in this place.

Of course in the wine region of this place, there would be none other than Graves. Just like in Sauternes, they are known for their desserts as well as white wines, but this subregion has something else for tourists to try out known as dessert wine which is a very sweet variation for those who do not like the strong taste of alcohol. Also, their red wines are known to have a stronger taste of Merlot in them as compared to other regions.

So if one would want to go on tour, then these are some of the places that he will be visiting. Now just so one would know, the companies that would hold these tours would be hiring a private bus or shuttle just for the tour group. From there, they will be travelling all over Bordeaux to know how some of the drinks in this place would taste like.
