Discover one of France's best-kept wine secrets
Spend four unforgettable days exploring boutique vineyards, meeting passionate winemakers, tasting exceptional wines, and staying in a charming 14th-century château at the foot of the French Pyrénées.
Far from the crowds of Bordeaux and Burgundy, this intimate getaway introduces you to the authentic wines, food, and culture of southwest France. Taste the elegant sweet and dry whites of Jurançon, the bold Tannat reds of Madiran, and the hidden gems of Béarn—wines rarely exported outside France and waiting to be discovered.
Throughout the weekend, French wine specialist Elisa from Uncorked France and France Bucket List will share her expertise, answer your questions, and help you better understand the history, traditions, and unique character of southwest France's wines.
