A serious tour of the region made world famous by the 1855 classifications of its wines by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the World Exposition in Paris. While we explore the impressive Chateau of the region, we learn the importance of the merging of global market forces, terroir, and the talents of all involved in wine production. We will focus on both rare and expensive wine Chateaux, and discover new innovations and value in this most modeled after wine region. Incorporated into this experience, we will be exploring its rich regional history and wonderful gastromie!
