Wine tourism has been developing very quickly in the old wine world countries in the last ten years. Countries like Italy, France and Spain were 'late' into this trend compared to the United States, Australia and South Africa. In fact, these countries have developed a diversified offer in terms of wine tourism experiences, from the most classic wine tastings to more peculiar activities. Here is an interesting example of wine tourism activities offered by Château de Pressac in Bordeaux and how even French wineries are implementing their offer.
The story of Château de Pressac
The Château dates back from the Middle Ages, it withstood the passing of time and history. Nowadays, Jean-François and Dominique Quenin are the owners of Château de Pressac. They have done important work to improve both the wine cellar at the castle and the vineyard. Thanks to these efforts, Château de Pressac is a Grand Cru Classé located in the renowned appellation of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, since 2012.
When it comes to wine tourism experiences, Château de Pressac proposes visitors some incredible activities. In fact, they offer the possibility to explore the vineyards in the Saint-Emilion appellation by helicopter. This is an unusual way to discover a wine region but at the same time it is a very fascinating one.
In addition to the classical visit of the Château and the wine tasting, the team offers the possibility to welcome professional events. In detail, this offer includes the visit to Château de Pressac, a lovely buffet to taste local food specialties and the winery's delicious wines and share a moment with colleagues and friends.
