Châteaux to Visit

No trip to Bordeaux is complete without a visit to some of the great wine estates. Accessing them, however, is not always easy. Since all classified growths and the best Pomerol properties sell their wines exclusively via local merchants, they have less of an incentive to open their doors to consumers. Compared to other famous wine regions in the world, wine tourism in Bordeaux remains a nascent industry. But a number of estates understand the importance of connecting with their clients and welcome visitors. 

See some of our favourites below, and make sure to look at our section on Preparing for Châteaux Visits found in the Before You Go section.
