Other than wine tasting, Bordeaux is also known for its aged but well-maintained limestone

buildings. The 110,000 hectares of space it covers also has lots more worth seeing while on a

tour there. Furthermore, with over 3 million tourists visiting yearly, knowing the very best

places and having a few tips at the back of your mind is advantageous.

1. Warm period visits: winter comes to an end at the beginning of April making it warmer

and suitable for visiting. Nonetheless, you should avoid the first week of April and that of

June. It is during this period that members of the world wine trade make their yearly

visits. To enjoy the very best of Bordeaux city, visiting when there is less traffic serves

best tourist interests.

2. Touring periods for wine enthusiasts: Mid-May to mid-July is the best visiting window

for wine enthusiasts. However, there are those who would like to experience more, such

as the harvesting period. That takes place starting September, and you might want to head

back home before it gets too cold in November. However, for a wine lover willing to

undergo anything just for the fun of wine tasting, Bordeaux is open for visits all year

round. But the mentioned periods are optimal for the best experiences.

3. What to wear: since you are here to see how wine gets made, you ought to wear

something that keeps your comfortable even when visiting the farms. Therefore, for

ladies, heels are not such a good idea. You might also want to carry some warm jacket as

the wine cellars usually maintain a temperature of around 16 degrees.

4. Duration of stay: some ask how long it would take to savour all that Bordeaux has to

offer. Well, perhaps a lifetime for you will want to come back again and again. But

seriously, though, for you to at least have a feel of various Bordeaux servings, you need

approximately three days. One day for the Medoc region, another for the Saint Émilion

Village and the last for a tour around the town.

5. Where to stay: there are abundant accommodation providers in town as well as on the out

skirts. To enjoy the best of Rustic Vine services, staying in town is a plus for you get free

transport on the wine tasting tours as well as the bike tours.

6. What else to see: The Atlantic coastline runs along the Medoc region. Take some time

and visit ‘Dune de Pyla’, the world’s largest sand dune among other breathtaking sites.

7. Shopping: other than wining and dining, you can take some time off and visit antique

markets at St Michel or Chartrons where you can buy yourself some souvenirs.

8. Where to eat: there are dozens of hotels and restaurants offering mouth watering dishes,

the choice is yours. You should, however, consider those located in the vines for a more

refined and local taste.

9. Nightlife: Bordeaux hardly goes to sleep. You will find a handful of wine bars that stay

open late into the night.
