Savor a tour and thoughtfully prepared dinner accompanied by wine at the convivial Château du Tertre. You’ll enjoy marvelous views of tidy vineyards and pretty villages as you travel along the Route des Châteaux, so called because of the hundreds of estates scattered throughout the Médoc winemaking region. Turning off the main road, you’ll proceed down a cobblestone drive between rows of carefully tended grapes and see Château du Tertre’s handsome, yellow-stone 18th-century manor emerge, an alluring start to the evening’s delights. You’ll discover the estate’s vineyards date to the 12th century but reached their heyday during the 19th century when, under the successive ownerships of Henri de Vallande and Baron Henri de Koenigswarter, the château’s wines gained world renown, culminating with their inclusion in the 1855 Médoc classification. You’ll tour the cellars and welcome a wine aperitif from among the estate’s extensive selection of bottles, some of which have received a coveted score of 93 from noted wine critic Robert Parker. As a phenomenal conclusion to your tour, indulge in a luscious four-course meal paired with three of the château’s excellent vintages.
