By Alta Alexander


France is definitely one of the more well known countries that have some of the best tasting alcoholic drinks. In Bordeaux, wine is specifically very famous here because this place is has the biggest vineyards that are open to the public. So if one is interested tasting wines, then he might want to go on some Bordeaux wine tours.

Now before going into to detail about some of the places that will be visited, it is good to know about how the wine in this area became so famous. During the middle of the first century, the Romans were already creating vineyards wherein they could create wines for their own consumption. Now the people have been doing that until now since they have already perfected the art of creating this drink.

Now for those who would want to know more about how these tours work, basically a company would hold them. The company would first gather a few people with the common interest of wine tasting and would place them in a group. From there, the company would send the group on a series of trips around Bordeaux.

Now one place that is very famous for its drinks would be none other than Saint Emilion. For those who are not very familiar with this place, it is actually just a small village that has pretty much not been touched by civilization. Now this little village holds one of the biggest vineyards in the entire region which means that the wines here are exquisite.

Now yet another place to visit would be Medoc. Now Medoc is very known for having a lot of chateaus that the people can pay a visit to while they are on tour. Of course when they are in the chateau, the guests will be served different varieties of wines that the place is very famous for.

Of course the tour guide will never miss a chance to visit Sauternes. Sauternes is a great place not only for connoisseurs but also for people with a sweet tooth as well. While the wines are being served to the guests, desserts and sweets are also served at the exact same time.

Now a sub region that is quite similar to Sauternes would be the Graves. Now Graves is similar to Sauternes in a sense that this place also serves a lot of sweet things with the wine like the dessert wines that are targeted to the people who do not really enjoy the taste of alcohol. Now aside from the sweet white wines, they are also known to have really great tasting red wines that would have a higher percentage of Merlot in them.

So if one would want to go on tour, then these are some of the places that he will be visiting. Now just so one would know, the companies that would hold these tours would be hiring a private bus or shuttle just for the tour group. From there, they will be travelling all over Bordeaux to know how some of the drinks in this place would taste like.
