Bordeaux city is inviting all who love good food and wine, culture and festivals to come and have a great time along the two kilometre quayside on the banks of the Garonne, in the very heart of a UNESCO world heritage site.

"BORDEAUX FETE LE VIN", is moving to the left bank of the river, between the pont de pierre (stone bridge) and the Bourse Maritime, so that the thousands of visitors from home and abroad can enjoy the 4 day wine festival more than ever.

With the Pass DEGUSTATIONS, visitors can savour vintage wines from Bordeaux and the surrounding area all in one place, whereas the Pass VIGNOBLES takes them out for the day to see the landscapes, wine-growing estates and heritage of the Gironde and Aquitaine regions.

Come and discover the history of our region 20 million years ago, when Aquitaine was covered by the sea in a tropical climate...

The guided tour begins with the museum's collections (shark teeth, corals, tropical shells) and continues with a short walk in the forest beside a river where you can admire, among other things, thousands of fossils in the open air.

The 5th Salon D'Artisans at Château de La Mercerie invites you to Magnac Lavalette Villars. Come and discover beautiful handicrafts (leather goods, lighting, engravings, sculpture, sewing, jewellery, etc.) in the heart of an impressive château.
A great opportunity to make some great discoveries and start buying presents just a few weeks before Christmas ;)

The winegrowers of the appellation welcome you for tastings and cellar tours.

Some of them offer entertainment: art exhibitions, concerts, tastings of regional products, meals ...
