Sept 6 - 15: ombiasy WineTours Immersion in Bordeaux
This tour shows you everything you need to know about “Bordeaux”. We visit 1ière grand cru classé Châteaux, many other classified Châteaux as well as a Cru Bourgeois Château and a so called Petit Château to show you the range of Bordeaux wine producers. We also learn how a barrique is made, how to raise the famous oyster of the Bassin d’Arcachon and we will have Michelin-star worthy lunches and dinners with the private chef at famous Châteaux where we pair gorgeous wines with gorgeous food.

Sept 30 - October 8: ombiasy WineTours Germany South - Alsace
This tour shows you how gorgeous German Pinot Noir can be. We visit wine regions off the beaten track such as the northern shore of Lake Constance, Baden, the southern Pfalz region, and Rheinhessen. We cross into France to compare wines on both sides of the Rhein river and we take advantage of the culinary southern regions with meals at three 1 Michelin star restaurants in Baden and Alsace. Besides tasting phenomenal wines we travel through stunningly beautiful wine villages dotted with half-timbered houses and we visit cultural and historical gems in Germany as well as Alsace.
