Wine in Aquitaine
In Aquitaine, the vine has always taken pride of place. Chateaux have been built, hills and forest cleared, and thousands of techniques and instruments invented, all in the name of wine. The sun and the quality of the land have done the rest. From the Bordeaux region to the slopes leading down to the Baise River, from Bergerac to the hills of Irouléguy, those who love wine, enjoy meeting people and admiring beautiful landscapes will be in their element!
One of the main benefits of vineyards in Aquitaine is to have brought about an enormous diversity of landscapes and sensations. They cover hillsides, stretch along narrow terraces of land, and surround the walls of churches and villages.
