Bordeaux In the corner of southwestern France, the Garonne and Dordogne rivers merge together to form the Gironde Estuary that naturally divides the famous Bordeaux region into the Left and Right banks. One of the largest controlled wine regions in France, Bordeaux is made up of several sub-regions, each with its own strictly governed appellation, unique climate and terroir. Unlike most wines around the world, the quality of Bordeaux wine is determined by these factors rather than the grape varietal.

Bordeaux is acclaimed for its legendary red blends, though white blends from this region also make a big impression.

Travel to France’s legendary wine capital, to start your cruise. As you sail through the Garonne & Dordogne rivers, iconic châteaux, timeless vineyards and delicious wine tastings are plentiful.

You visit Libourne, Blaye, Bourg, where you will experience an AmaWaterways exclusive wine festival, Cussac-Fort-Medoc and Cadillac. From these destinations you will enjoy excursions to towns such as Saint-Emilion, one of the most famous of Bordeaux’s wine towns, and Roquetaillade, in the heart of the Sauternes region, known for its sweet wines. Back in Bordeaux, you will be able to enjoy an illuminations cruise through the heart of this beautiful city at night, as well as a visit to the revolutionary Wine Museum on the banks of the Gironde.
