Graves & Sauternes Day Trip

Graves Terroir

If you love Bordeaux’s white wines, this day is for you. You’ll begin in Graves, known for its bright, elegant whites and soft, smoky reds, before continuing south to Sauternes, home to the region’s legendary sweet wines. It’s a perfect mix of freshness and richness, where Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes show their very best.

Graves is where Bordeaux winemaking began, and the gravel soils here still define its wines today. You’ll visit beautiful châteaux surrounded by pine forests and vines, tasting crisp, mineral-driven whites filled with citrus and floral notes.
