Pomerol & Fronsac Day Trip

Fronsac Vineyards

Once favored by French royalty, Fronsac remains one of Bordeaux’s best-kept secrets. Its rolling hills and limestone cliffs produce bold, expressive Merlot wines full of character and charm. Just next door, Pomerol adds a softer, more refined touch and is home to some of Bordeaux’s most sought-after wines, known for their velvety texture and quiet power.

This day in Bordeaux’s Right Bank countryside combines beauty, history, and unforgettable flavors. You’ll visit stunning estates that blend tradition with innovation, tasting wines that show both structure and finesse. Between château visits, enjoy a leisurely lunch at an estate overlooking the Dordogne Valley, where the view is almost as memorable as the wine.

The afternoon continues with tastings in Pomerol and, if you’d like, an optional stop in nearby Lalande-de-Pomerol, another small appellation producing remarkable Merlot-based wines
