The wine estates of Bordeaux spread across the Gironde department and produce wines under more than 60 appellations. The châteaux combine winemaking traditions with modern cellar techniques. Many properties open their doors to visitors, offering tours of vineyards, fermentation rooms, and barrel cellars. The grand estates of the Médoc, such as Château Margaux, Château Latour, or Château Mouton Rothschild, rank among the most recognized addresses in the region. In Saint-Émilion, châteaux cluster around the medieval village. The Entre-deux-Mers area features numerous smaller family operations. Wine routes traverse landscapes of vine rows and historic buildings. The architecture of the châteaux ranges from medieval fortresses to 18th and 19th-century residences. Some estates have commissioned contemporary cellars from architects like Norman Foster or Jean Nouvel. Tasting rooms allow visitors to sample different vintages and blends. Many domains also organize oenology workshops and receptions in their vineyards.
