Bordeaux is a legendary name in itself. Just hearing it brings up thoughts of fields of vines, the familiar shaped bottle we have come to love, so sparkling new and others covered with dust in a perfectly tempered wine cellar. Bordeaux wine, for some has lost some steam due to a couple poor vintages, escalating prices and better marketing from other wine producing regions. Yet, a Bordeaux wine carries with it the prestige which hasn’t lost any ground when it comes to producing a wide range, to cater to everyone.

Sure, if everyone had the chance to decant a Chateaux Cheval Blanc or Chateau Haut Brion, they would know exactly what all the fuss is all about. Yet, the magic of Bordeaux wine sits in the wide range of wines readily available, from price range, occasion or curiosity. So when people complain about Bordeaux wine being too expensive, I don’t agree at all. The pleasure of a wine enthusiast lay in having an open mind and appreciate whatever the bottle has to offer. Chances are good that you’ll consistently find a better cuvee if you pay 200 bucks rather than five. Yet, don’t ever write off a cheaper Bordeaux wine as with proper ageing and appropriate food, magical surprises do occur.

Bordeaux is separated into two parts being the right and left bank. You’ll find some of the best Cabs on the left bank while Medoc sits closer to the Atlantic ocean, on the left bank. Medoc makes up four top regions which include Paulliac, St.Julien, Margaux and Saint Estephe. Some of the most prestigious Bordeaux wine names lay in this area. Below the Medoc you’ll find the Graves region known for the ever sweet Sauternes.

The heart of the right bank is the city of St.-Emilion and the wine region that surrounds it. Next door is Pomerol which is always sought after due to a small, yet quality production. Pessac Leognan, Pomerol, Fronsac and Cotes de Castillon are a few better known Bordeaux wine on the right bank.

 Bordeaux and its surrounding has so much to offer, besides its world renowned wines which still rests above any other. The longest stretch of white sand beach in Europe is nearby, the Pyla sand dune which will have you thinking you’re in Egypt is a mere trot down the coast, fine dining and shopping are also right at your finger tips.

When visiting, you would certainly take a tour and visit the worlds best distilleries of fine whiskies and schedule in a couple rounds of golf. Lucky for golf enthusiasts, Bordeaux offers well over a dozen great golf courses which you can fit it during or around your Bordeaux wine tour.

There are tailor made services of Bordeaux golf wine tours available to cater to each and every persons taste, budget and time allowances. There are also many Bordeaux wine tours which would allow you ample time to get in 18 holes in the morning and leave you ample time to visit at least two Chateaux Grand Cru and lunch at a great restaurant.

Some of the courses I would suggest are:

Golf de Bordeaux lac which offer two courses with different styles of play. It is favorite to many visitor because of its diversity.
La Jalle: An old-style course on level grounds which traverses some nice wooded areas. This course demands concentration as roughs lay deep, easily adding a shot or two to your score card.
Les Etangs: an American style course, with rolling countryside and water hazards (out of bounds area still with relatively few trees. This is the very course where the French Junior Championships take place.

Golf de Bordeaux-Camerac The only 18-hole course on the right bank of Bordeaux, which lay between the Garonne and the Dordogne rivers. The course is laid out in the middle of a forest of century old trees, surrounded by vines, half way between Bordeaux and Libourne. Just a 15 minutes drive from the city center of Bordeaux but count on at least thirty in early morning traffic

Golf du Médoc another club offering two different courses. Many prestigious European events, such as the French Open in 1999 have taken place on the famous “Parcours des Châteaux”. This course is perhaps the closest thing to a traditional Scottish links course. You always feel privileged hitting the ball here, playing deep within nature and its natural surroundings.
The “Parcours des Vignes”. A great course to play but watch out for hidden bunkers and water hazards which make for many a challenging shot. It would be described as a typical course of the region as it’s surrounded by pine trees and more which enhance the aesthetic beauty of the course.
