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 go on tour, basically one can do this by going to a company who would arrange these things. Of course what the company would do is that they would group different people in one team. From there, the group would go together on trips to different places in the country for tasting.

One of the places that people would definitely go to would be Saint Emilion. Now this is a little medieval like village that has not really been touched by industrialization. Now the great thing about this little village is that it is actually near some of the biggest vineyards in the area which means that wines are very common here.

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 one of the most popular of all places would be Sauternes. Now the special thing about this place is that they not only serve wines but they serve a lot of exotic desserts and sweet dishes too. This is definitely a great place for people to go to if one would like sweet stuff and wine at the same time.

Of course in the wine region of this place, there would be none other than Graves. Just like in Sauternes, they are known for their desserts as well as white wines, but this subregion has something else for tourists to try out known as dessert wine which is a very sweet variation for those who do not like the strong taste of alcohol. Also, their red wines are known to have a stronger taste of Merlot in them as compared to other regions.

Now if one would want to taste some of the best wines that are out there, then he has to definitely visit these places. Of course he will be riding in a bus or shuttle provided by the company while he goes on tour with other people. He will be traveling in comfort since the companies would definitely provide the most comfortable buses.
