Wine & Bike Tour In Bordeaux's Vineyards

The Graves wine region is one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most storied appellations, with roots reaching back to the Middle Ages. Once famed for its light claret, it is now celebrated as the birthplace of Bordeaux’s distinguished red wines. Over the centuries, these wines have become a true reflection of the Gironde’s heritage, known for their elegance, structure, and the unmistakable character of their terroir.

Graves wines are instantly recognizable for their distinct aromas—violets, red fruits, and subtle smoky notes mingling with hints of spice, mocha, and roasted tones. This unique balance expresses both tradition and craftsmanship, while the region’s dry whites add brightness and depth to its diverse production.
