Bordeaux Wine Festival

One of the premiere events each year in France is the Bordeaux wine festival, possibly the biggest of it's kind in the world. 

Along the waterfront is a 3km road of wine tasting with over 80 appellations being presented.  

A unique opportunity to discover the quality, authenticity and diversity of Bordeaux wines where visitors can enjoy sampling a host of different wines.

For just 16 euros you can buy a pass which entitles you to 5 days of:

12 tastings at the booths, i.e. 1 tasting at each booth (10 in all) and your choice of 2 "Favourite" tastings
A glass and a glass holder

During the weekend, tasting booths are open from 11am to midnight on the left bank of the Garonne. Glass in hand and the tasting-pass in the pocket, you wander a 3 km Wine Route between the eighteenth century facades and the river Garonne.

The wines of Bordeaux and Aquitaine are available for tasting in different pavilions and Wine School organises the 2 hour tastings workshops to complete your knowledge. Every day a new animation is programmed for the enjoyment of young and old: running barrels wheelers, Brotherhoods parade, Bacchus' giant banquet... 

Hundreds of thousands of people will be there and the Tall Ships crews are renown for their shore-side parties.  

Imagine having a wonderful dinner in one of the many plazas watching the festivities.

There couldn't be a more exciting atmosphere to enjoy !
