Program & Itinerary
Private Bordeaux Transfer & Château Cooking Day Enjoy a seamless full‑day private experience from Bordeaux that combines a chauffeur‑driven transfer, a hands‑on cooking class with lunch and wines in a Bordeaux château, and a second afternoon winery visit and tasting. Your driver‑guide collects you in Bordeaux and takes you into the vineyards, so you can relax and focus entirely on food, wine and scenery.
Flexible Wine Region: Médoc, Saint‑Émilion or Graves/Pessac‑Léognan To guarantee the best available château and chef on your date, the cooking class can take place in any one of three major wine regions: Médoc, Saint‑Émilion or Graves/Pessac‑Léognan. The exact château is confirmed after booking, once availability is checked, but you always cook and dine on‑site at a working wine estate in one of these prestigious appellations.
Morning Château Cooking Class, Lunch & Wines On arrival at the selected château winery, meet your local chef for a private, French‑style cooking class in the estate kitchen. You prepare a multi‑course seasonal menu using regional ingredients, then sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve created, paired with a selection of the château’s own red and/or white wines.
Afternoon Visit & Tasting at a Second Château After lunch, your driver‑guide takes you to a second nearby château in the same wine area for a classic cellar tour and guided tasting. Learn how the estate works with local grapes—Cabernet‑focused blends in Médoc or Graves/Pessac‑Léognan, or Merlot‑led wines in Saint‑Émilion—and taste several cuvées that showcase the region’s style and terroir.
Relaxed Return to Bordeaux At the end of the afternoon, unwind during the private transfer back to Bordeaux, dropped at your hotel or another central point of your choice. This flexible format lets you enjoy a full gourmet day in the vineyards—cooking, tasting and visiting two estates—while we handle region choice, château reservations and all driving based on the best options available for your date.
