Wine-tasting experiences are not exactly rare, but there are few better places to treat yourself to a glass of claret than in Bordeaux, capital of the wine trade and one of Europe’s most elegant cities. Bordeaux is home to a highly acclaimed wine museum – the Cité du Vin – where you can learn all about world wines before trying a glass or two yourself; and the surrounding countryside plays host to numerous vineyards, almost all of which offer tours and tastings. Our
self-guided Bordeaux cycling holiday explores both the city and the wider Bordeaux region, and includes a visit to St Emilion, beating heart of the French wine scene.
