About the getaway
Grab your friends (or come solo!) and join us for a fun 4-day wine weekend in southwest France, in collaboration with Elisa of Uncorked France and France Bucket List.
Stay at our charming 14th century château at the foot of the French Pyrénées, surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery - the setting alone is worth the journey. This will be your home base as you spend the weekend discovering the wines of Béarn (rustic, character-driven reds), Jurançon (excellent sweet and dry whites), and Madiran (bold, age-worthy reds) through a series of vineyard tours, wine tastings, and behind-the-scenes looks at how these regional favorites are made. Along the way, you’ll learn about the local culture, history, and what makes these wines so special.
Elisa will be on hand throughout the getaway, sharing her passion for French wine and travel along with plenty of insider tips.
This wine escape is perfect for a girls’ weekend, couples, or solo travelers looking to slow down, sip great wine, and soak up the magic of the French countryside.
Check out the details below and contact us with any questions.
