UBV
Exploration on foot through one of the most famous
and culturally diverse wine regions of France
Staying in charming guesthouses, hotels and magnificent castles or
wine chateaux, this trip is full of postcard perfect landscapes, cultural
heritage and many opportunities to sample world famous wines of the
Bordeaux region. Accessed from the city of Bordeaux, you will spend
two delightful days and nights in and around St Emilion. Marvel at the monuments and vestiges from Roman
times and visit the fascinating underground galleries. Hike among the surrounding landscape ‑ a series of
narrow, vine‑covered valleys listed as a UNESCO World Heritage region. Wander through woods, vineyards
and old world villages in the Entre‑Deux‑Mers area between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers and stay in the
medieval city of St Macaire with its historic buildings. Sample sweet white and red wines from vignerons such
as Chateau d'Arche and Chateau Gravas in the vicinity of Sauternes, the latter with a wine history dating back
to the 12th century.
