You can assemble your basket with local products from the estate\u2019s shop: foie gras, duck rillettes, tapenades, sardines\u2014delicious! Relax in the grass under the magnolias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to Sauternes for a digestive stroll through the organic vineyards of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chateauguiraud.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ch\u00e2teau Guiraud<\/a>. This is the oldest estate in Sauternes and a pioneer of the Grand Crus Class\u00e9s in 1855. Various activities are offered: a botanical hike through the vineyards for the more active, or a workshop on pairing Sauternes wines with local cheeses for the gourmets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your second night on the Bordeaux wine tours, consider staying at the unique and original Ecotelia estate in Le Nizan, offering treehouses, yurts, or caravans at the forest\u2019s edge. Cozy and carefully decorated, these accommodations provide an unusual and romantic setting. En route to Le Nizan, you can stop in Maz\u00e8res for dinner at La Table de Caillivet, which has a beautiful wooden terrace under the trees.

A historical monument, it was the residence of King Henri IV of France and Queen Margot. Wander through the royal apartments, dream of canopy beds, explore the prison, or venture into the underground medieval cellars where prestigious Bordeaux wines age. The estate is so vast that you could easily spend half a day here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Pr\u00e9chac, start your return journey without rushing. You might stop in Sauternes at La Petite Guinguette, a charming spot in the village with vineyard views. Relax on cozy sofas and chairs while enjoying a tapas platter on the grass. For a final gastronomic experience, head back to Ch\u00e2teau Guiraud, where the chapel has been converted into a restaurant. On the road to Bordeaux, make a last stop in Bommes. For a grand finale, we recommend taking to the skies at Ch\u00e2teau de Rayne Vigneau, which offers a &#8220;perched&#8221; tasting experience. Climb to the top of a centuries-old cedar tree, where a small table awaits you. The people not driving can taste the ch\u00e2teau&#8217;s Sauternes wines and all enjoy a breathtaking view of the vineyard labyrinths. After this unique experience, it will be time to return to the city to visit Bordeaux and its highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a longer stay with family or friends, we suggest the perfect itinerary for a road trip along the Bordeaux coast&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PRACTICAL INFO DAY 3: *<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ch\u00e2teau Royal de Cazeneuve: 33 370 Pr\u00e9chac \/ Admission: 11.50 euros per person<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La Petite Guinguette: 2 Chemin de Pasquette, 33210 Sauternes \/ Platters: 3.50 to 18 euros<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>La Chapelle du Ch\u00e2teau Guiraud: 5 Ch\u00e2teau Guiraud 33210 Sauternes \/ Daily special: 16 euros, daily menu: 25 euros<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ch\u00e2teau de Rayne Vigneau: 4, Le Vigneau, 33210 Bommes \/ Perched tasting: 33 euros per person<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/car-rental\/france\/bordeaux\/\">Rent a car in Bordeaux <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m12!1m8!1m3!1d90539.84123739855!2d-0.6987269017521239!3d44.83439699157492!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!2m1!1ssixt+bordeaux+%2B+haillan!5e0!3m2!1sfr!2sfr!4v1549356957421\" width=\"1540\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\"  src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">READ ALSO : <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.com\/magazine\/road-trips\/road-trip-france\/\">Best road trip in France<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>* This article is based on information available as of September 2024.
