Wine-lovers can enjoy a whole range of President of the dedicated tourist circuits by travelling along one of the six “Bordeaux Wine Nouvelle- Aquitaine Regional Tourism Board Routes”. They can also walk and cycle in the vineyards of the Pyrenean foothills or the Ré and Oléron Islands. Others will prefer to take a boat trip up the Lot and Garonne Valleys, as well as the Charente Valley, to discover its famous “liqueur of the gods” (another name for Cognac given by the famous writter V. Hugo). Stop by the Cité du Vin (Bordeaux) to improve your knowledge of the winegrowing world and enjoy a tasting, with a 360-degree view of the Garonne. You can also try your hand as an apprentice grape-picker or oenologist by attending the many workshops and masterclasses offered by the various Châteaux, Cellars and wine estates.
