It\u2019s the reason most people come to the region. Yes, it\u2019s got stunning countryside and gorgeous weather, but it\u2019s tasting the grape that enthrals! A tour around the vineyards will only confirm that the wine here is top-notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s day trips to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/bordeaux\/outstanding-grands-crus-classes-tour-in-medoc_6282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medoc<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/bordeaux\/tour-to-the-unesco-world-heritage-site-of-saint-emilion_6283\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St Emilion<\/a>, and tasting red, white, dessert or sparkling. Wine tours will reveal the genuine beauty of the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a wine museum to explore, Cite du Vin. Learn and then taste. Let\u2019s face it: tasting will feature in most tours you take in Bordeaux.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unique Experiences&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hop in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/bordeaux\/private-bordeaux-highlights-tour-in-a-2cv-citroen-vintage-car-45-minutes_36611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2CV <\/a>but strap yourself in as this is going to be quite a ride!

If wine wasn\u2019t enough to entice you to visit, then maybe the food will. fresh Raspberries grow nearby, and the region has world-famous oysters from the Bay of Arcachon. And it\u2019s been said that Bordeaux produces the best mushrooms in France. I mean, the wine is excellent, add in the food and boom! The perfect mix.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isango.com\/bordeaux\/luxury-private-and-small-group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Around Town<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking yourself away from all that wonderful food and wine might be hard, but try! If you\u2019re an art lover, you\u2019re more than catered to. The Musee des Beaux Arts for the old master\u2019s and the CAPC Museum for those with more contemporary tastes. Not forgetting the old Gothic Cathedral of St Michel. You can get views from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all that wining and dining and art loving, a walk along the river would cap a perfect visit. With caf\u00e9s and open spaces, old buildings and the sun beaming down. Idyllic sounds like the word to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bordeaux is a delight.
