GENERAL QUESTIONS

Unless indicated, most of our tours start and end in the wine region you’ll be visiting. You can fly into most French cities via a connecting flight from Paris. Or you can fly into Paris and then take a high-speed TGV train to our starting point. We’ll make sure you get from the city to the vineyards (and vice versa) with a group transfer.

For day, it’s best to bring clothing that is casual.  For visits to First Growth chateaux and other very prestigious estates, slightly more elegant attire is requested and appreciated.  Cellars can be damp and you might walk in the vineyards, so it better to avoid high heels and opt for comfortable shoes for day.

For evening, don’ hesitate to bring some dressier clothes for dinners in elegant restaurants.

Try not to over pack; you will not wear all your clothing! Pack comfortable light weight, casual and some smart/casual clothing.

You are welcome to purchase wine during the trip. Please ask the instructor if there is enough time at the end of the visit for you to make your purchase without impeding the progress of the trip. However, not all estates sell at the estate; in Bordeaux, for example, very few of the Classified Growth chateaux sell wine at the chateau, they sell exclusively through wine merchants.

It is sometimes possible for the estate to ship wine to your home with an additional shipping charge.  In any case, you always have the option of bringing wine home with you in your checked luggage.  You may have to pay some amount of duty on your wine when you go through customs; please check with your local authorities for further information.
