Happy 4th of July -> 4th of September: Bordeaux Tour by ombiasy: 1 Room Left, France/ USA

Dear wine friends,

first of all I wish everyone a wonderful 4th of July celebration. Enjoy being together with family and friends and watching the awesome fireworks in the evening.

Now in the dead of summer it may be difficult to think about drinking Bordeaux wines — but fall will eventually come and I have a wonderful trip to Bordeaux to offer:

Join me from September 3rd - September 12th when I travel with a small group (12 people) through the Bordeaux wine region.

Besides doing Châteaux hopping, I will also show you other aspects of “Bordeaux” that the usual wine tours to the Bordelais do not do: we will be introduced to the “Place de Bordeaux” buying and selling system unique in Bordeaux by visiting a négociant house, a wine merchant; we will visit a cooper to see from A to Z how a barrique is being made; we go to the basin d’Arcachon to see how an oyster is raised - and of course we will taste the oysters; we will experience the big bodies of water so important for the Bordeaux climate: the mighty Gironde estuary and the Atlantic ocean; instead of sitting for 2 -3 hours in traffic every day going back and forth to Bordeaux city we will travel around, spending nights in the heart of the Left Bank in Pauillac and in the heart of the Right Bank in Saint-Émilion to “feel” the vineyards; and of course we will spend some time in the vibrant, hip, cultural, cool city of Bordeaux.

Our Châteaux tour takes us to: Sauternes, Pessac-Léognan, Margaux, Saint-Julien, Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe, Médoc, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, Blaye. We will visit well-known classified Châteaux - among them the prestigious Château Lafite-Rothschild - , classified under the radar Châteaux, and so-called “Petits-Châteaux” producing phenomenal wines. We will not only taste gorgeous Bordeaux wines, we will also have the privilege to enjoy many meals perfectly paired with the respective Châteaux wines right at the Châteaux with the owner / manager / winemaker.

This tour is basically a wine seminar on the ground: you will get a thorough understanding what “Bordeaux” is all about - and of course the tour is also lots of laughter and fun.

This tour is 90% booked, I only have 1 ONE!!! room left (sgl or dbl occupancy). Before I cancel the room to avoid being charged a penalty, I like to give you the opportunity to grab the last room. You can sign up here: https://ombiasypr.com/index.php/wine-tours/bordeaux/bordeaux-registration

You find the detailed itinerary here: https://ombiasypr.com/index.php/wine-tours/bordeaux/bordeaux-itinerary. However a few appointments have recently changed from what you see on the website. I included a visit to Château Lafite-Rothschild and some time slots have switched around. But the general layout of the tour has not changed.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have further questions (if you want to call me: I am currently in Europe and only my German cellphone works!). You can also leave me a phone number via email and I can call you back. I am more than happy to answer all your queries.

CHEERS and HAPPY JULY 4th!
