Example itinerary:

These chateaux and restaurants are given as examples only and do not constitute a typical program. 

Chateau d'Yquem

Your first visit begins with the discovery of the only "Premier Cru Supérieur" in the 1855 classification in Sauternes, the other castles in Sauternes being classified Grand Cru. You will discover the history of Yquem, the mode of cultivation used, and many other things that make you understand why Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon III or even Georges Washington had a particular affection for the wine of this domain.

Your private guided tour ends with a discovery tasting of Y 2018 and Château d'Yquem 2017.

 

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey

This visit offers an immersion in the heart of the history of the domain, the territory of Sauternes, its viticulture and the secret of the production of its sweet wines. This moment of discovery will make you appreciate the special bond that unites the wines of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey with the know-how of the LALIQUE crystal factory. After discovering the estate, the vats, the cellars and the Chapel, we invite you to taste three wines from the Château. The tasting takes place at the Vinotheque or in the Chapel, nestled between the two historic cellars of the castle.

 

L'Art de la table au Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey

Enjoy a gourmet meal in the Michelin star restaurant of the Château.

You will appreciate the flavors that you will discover on your plate as much as the magnificent decor of this Lalique restaurant.

Chef Jérôme Schilling and Restaurant LALIQUE were awarded a Michelin star in January 2019, thus offering a first starred table to the Sauternes region.

 

Château Carbonnieux

Discover the land of the first Bordeaux vineyards. This Grand Cru Classé of Graves will seduce you with its aromatic richness developed over the centuries.
