Bordeaux Tourisme and Tourisme Gironde hosted int’l media attending the Rendez-vous en France trade show, including Travel Daily, on a winery visit to the Medoc region overnight. Participants visited the stunning 18th century le Chateau du Taillan and its 16th century cellar, about 30 minutes from Bordeaux. The chateau is popular with Australian tourists, according to manager, Armelle Falcy-Cruse, who come to sample the wines produced by the four female friends spread over four estates. Called Les Medocaines, the winery produces 120,000 bottles each season, of which 70% is exported (but not yet to Australia as their is no importer). The winery offers a range of experiences, including a Harvest Workshop, a Blending Workshop, Cheese and Wine Pairing and soon to launch, Wine and Beauty Workshop for the ladies. Visits to the Chateaux can be organised at the Bordeaux Tourisme Office, or go online at www.lesmedocaines.com.
