Chateau Haut-Sarpe is one of the oldest wine estates in Saint-Émilion. The chateau itself was modeled on the Petit Trianon at Versailles, otherwise known as Marie Antoinette’s cottage, and is set among vineyards and gardens. Living in Bordeaux, I can taste most of the regions wines at the various wine bars in the city. So […]
5 Reasons to Love Intercontinental Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a city that you just can’t help but feel regal in from the moment you set foot among its grandiose buildings and squares. There’s not another hotel better fit for a king or queen in Bordeaux Centre than the Intercontinental Bordeaux Grand Hotel and it’s certainly the place to stay when visiting the […]
La Cite du Vin: Bordeaux’s Wine Museum
When we tell people we live in Bordeaux, the response is “Great wine, but what city do you live in?” Bordeaux is indeed one of the most famous wine regions in the world, but it’s also a city. A gorgeous honey-colored neoclassical city married with the remains of a medieval town…but that’s a story for […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: July 2016
I’m settling in to life in France. And everything I thought I knew about being an expat after seven years of living in Italy means diddly squat in France. It’s just different here.

Luxe Adventure Traveler’s 2015 Year in Review
Another year comes to a close. 2015 was a weird year for us and on one hand I’m honestly so happy for this year to come to an end. We spent the better part of the year apart with Tim in Afghanistan, our 16 year old cat abruptly became sick and now is in kidney […]
The River Cruise for Wine Lovers
I didn’t love the ocean cruise we’ve been on, but when Viking River Cruises invited me to explore Bordeaux on their Chateaux, Rivers and Wine cruise, the allure of all the French Bordeaux wine I’d no doubt be sipping convinced me to give river cruising a try. The verdict? I absolutely loved my Bordeaux Viking […]
Sauternes: Bordeaux’s Sweet Wine
Once upon a time there was a girl that drank Moscato with her meal. I hang my head as I admit that the girl committing that faux pas was me. In my defense, I was whatever today’s millennials would have been 15 years ago and just wanted to feel grown up drinking wine. I hadn’t […]
