Now for those who would want to know more about how these tours work, basically a company would hold them. The company would first gather a few people with the common interest of wine tasting and would place them in a group. From there, the company would send the group on a series of trips around Bordeaux.

Now one place that is very famous for its drinks would be none other than Saint Emilion.

Another place that is really nice to go when one tour would of course be Medoc. Now Medoc is a place that has a lot of chateaus that people can visit. While in this chateaus, the guests on tour will be given different kinds of wines for them to taste in order for them to know how great the drinks here are.

Of course one of the most popular of all places would be Sauternes. Now the special thing about this place is that they not only serve wines but they serve a lot of exotic desserts and sweet dishes too. This is definitely a great place for people to go to if one would like sweet stuff and wine at the same time.

Now a sub region that is quite similar to Sauternes would be the Graves.
