A full day of wine. Châteaux Preuillac boasts a unique wine school, to which enthusiasts and professionals from all over the world come to improve their knowledge of wine and the art of tasting. The Vintage Golf Company has an exclusive relationship with Château Preuillac and are able to offer you the opportunity to enjoy their expertise and experience on an exciting one day Oenology course: ‘The Awakening of the Senses’.
Having been welcomed by the Preuillac team in the Château’s winter garden, you will spend the first part of the morning in the company of a top wine specialist giving an introduction to the mechanisms and vocabulary of tasting and the identification of flavours. After a short break you will have the opportunity to taste a number of prestigious appellations from around Bordeaux, including the highly regarded wines of the Preuillac estate itself.
A long lunch follows; a chance to enjoy the classic French recipes of Marguerite Mau, as you continue to sample and discuss a sequence of wines especially chosen to compliment the cuisine. After lunch you will be given a personal guided tour of this beautiful, traditional château and its picturesque surroundings, followed by another tasting session.
The final part of the experience is a visit to one of the nearby Grand Cru Classé Châteaux. Accompanied by a member of the Preuillac team, you will spend the late afternoon exploring one of the world’s truly great wine estates. The Grand Cru Classé represent the pinnacle of wine making, and lie at the very heart of Bordeaux’s unparalleled tradition. You will return to the Château for dinner; a sumptuous gastronomic feast, complimented by more exciting wines.
