Bordeaux & its vineyards
Place de la Bourse
Its famous water mirror, the stone quays along the Garonne and the largest 18th-century urban ensemble in France, the elegant heart of a city listed by UNESCO.
Saint-Émilion
A medieval wine village listed by UNESCO, ringed by grands crus and famous for its monolithic church carved straight into the rock.
Médoc
Along the estuary, the legendary classified-growth châteaux of Pauillac, Saint-Julien and Saint-Estèphe, home to some of the greatest red wines on earth.
Margaux
One of the most prestigious appellations of the Médoc, where elegant estates produce red wines of rare finesse.
Pessac-Léognan
At the gates of the city, the great reds and whites of the Graves, including the legendary Château Haut-Brion.
Arcachon
Oysters, the bay and the Dune du Pilat, Europe’s tallest sand dune, an hour from the vines, where Bordeaux meets the Atlantic.
Arcachon & the Dune du Pilat
An hour from the vineyards, Bordeaux opens onto the ocean. We arrange an oyster tasting on the Arcachon bay, straight from the producer, and the climb up the Dune du Pilat, Europe’s tallest, for sunset over the Atlantic and the endless pine forest.
The world capital of wine
For centuries, Bordeaux has built its fortune and its elegance on the vine. Around the city stretch some of the most prestigious vineyards on the planet, the Médoc, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, the Graves and Sauternes, whose names alone evoke the very greatest wines.
From the 1855 classification to today’s grands crus, wine here is a culture, an art and a way of life. KTS opens the doors of the great châteaux that usually remain closed to the public.
Each season, a different Bordeaux
