Bordeaux Launches a Wine Bar Route

Everyone knows the Bordeaux Wine Routes, but have you heard of the wine bar trail? It’s the latest wine tourism experience offered by the Bordeaux Tourist Office. Let’s head out on the Urban Wine Trail!

The "wine-hiking" spirit of the Urban Wine Trail

With French wine tourism booming, the Bordeaux Tourist Office is pulling out all the stops with a unique “urban wine tourism” offering: the Urban Wine Trail. Following in the footsteps of vineyard tours, gourmet days, and wine-themed river cruises, this new experience offers a journey to discover the wine bars of Bordeaux and its surrounding areas. In the spirit of a “wine hike,” the Urban Wine Trail is an original way to enhance your visit to Bordeaux. Along the way, take a break on the terrace or at the bar of one of the selected wine bars. Enjoy tastings to share and discover—in moderation, of course!

The self-guided tour of Bordeaux's wine bars

Much like the upcoming Cité du Vin in Bordeaux, the Urban Wine Trail offers a chance to discover the richness of Bordeaux’s wine-growing region, as well as that of other French regions and the rest of the world. To that end, fourteen wine bars have been selected for their ambiance, their hospitality, and above all, the diversity of their wine lists featuring wines from the region and beyond. From downtown Bordeaux to the towns of Mérignac, Gradignan, and Talence, the selected wine bars offer different styles to delight the palates of all enthusiasts, from casual fans to connoisseurs. Let yourself be surprised by following the Urban Wine Trail route, also available on smartphones or tablets by downloading the Cirkwi app. A true culinary adventure to be enjoyed with friends and family over several days!

"Urban Wine Trail" packages that pair food and wine

Now a must-visit destination for wine lovers, the city of Bordeaux is renowned not only for its exceptional wines but also for its culinary specialties. To round out this culinary adventure, every wine bar offers an exclusive “Urban Wine Trail” package that pairs food and wine. Ask for the package and let us guide you! Enjoy in moderation!
