LAST CALL! ALL ABOARD!!
This July our Bumgarner Bordeaux group is 36 strong. If you haven’t yet made summer plans and would like to join us, there is space still available on this 7-night deluxe cruise exploring France’s Bordeaux region, the world’s epicenter of fine wine production. Cabins are available in D, B and A categories, the latter two with balconies.
Fly into Bordeaux City staying in the charming, perfectly located Hotel Bayonne Etche-Ona for two nights. We’ll adjust to the time change and enjoy some very special events in Bordeaux city, including a gourmet walking tour of superb Bordelaise shops and restaurants. Also included are two Grand Cru chateau visits in Margaux.
Then on July 4th embark on the 148-passenger luxury river ship AmaDolce and cruise the three waterways of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and Gironde Estuary. Along these banks are the villages of Libourne, Pauillac and Cadillac---home to the venerable Grand Cru wine houses of Chateaux Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Petrus, Chateau y’Quem and many more.
On board I will hold two tastings and a paired dinner, pouring our best recent work, and contrasting our New World wines with those of France. We’ll explore together the charming villages and chateaux of the Bordeaux region. Originally planted by the Romans, for over 2,000 years the wines of Bordeaux have been prized and sought after. Legendary houses here like Chateau Margaux produce some of the world’s most expensive vintages. Annual production from the 60 Bordeaux appellations exceeds 900 million bottles. This is the most prolific wine region in France, with some 300,000 acres of wine grapes under cultivation.
Bumgarner Winery members enjoy a $500 per cabin ($250 per person) discount for our group. The optional pre-cruise 3-day / 2-night stay in Bordeaux City is ideal for adjusting to the time change and experiencing special places you will not see on the cruise.
