Bordeaux France wine tours
 
1 loves wine, 1 doesn't but loves photography .......Which vinery to visit from Bordeaux to satisfy both?
The wine will be good at all of them but which one has the best scenery for the photographer?

You can try Château Rayne Vigneau, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Château Lamothe Bergeron, Chateau Pape Clément, Chateau La Tour Carnet, or Chateau Fombrauge. All beautiful estates!

If you are going to Bordeaux, why fool around? Go to Mouton Rothschild and Margaux. Where else can you sample two of the premier crus? On the way back from Rothschild, you will find many, many beautiful little hamlets and chateaux (including the dovecote at Latour, which does not offer tours). Both of the above require reservations. The 'wine museum' at Rothschild was one of a kind, which is a second reason why it's a must. Every year artists try to be chosen for their work to be their label and the collection, along with dozens of other fascinating memorabilia, are in the museum. If staying in Bordeaux, take the highway out to Paulliac (which takes long enough) and the rambling wine road back down.

Good suggestions. We'll look all of them up.
