This is Bordeaux, France – and it is so much more than wine. From a free self-guided walking tour through medieval streets to a Michelin-rated dinner, the Cité du Vin wine museum, and private winery tours in Saint-Émilion – this is everything we did, everywhere we ate, and every reason you need to go.
When we first planned this trip, we thought Bordeaux was just a wine destination. We were completely wrong. Bordeaux is a UNESCO World Heritage city with centuries-old architecture, an incredible food scene, and some of the most walkable streets we’ve ever experienced in Europe.
In this video we cover everything you need to plan your own trip to Bordeaux France – from free activities to splurge-worthy experiences.
