As part of a very special birthday celebration weekend Château Living arranged a countryside cycle followed by a picnic lunch in the grounds of a beautiful château.
To return to their own château accommodation, we laid on a carriage ride home; all part of a Château Living Amazing Experience.
We were delighted to host a group of friends, who traveled from all over the USA to France to celebrate a landmark birthday! The group enjoyed some fabulous food, wine tours and visits to the City of Bordeaux and altogether had an amazing experience. The trip was a great success.
In response, Château Living is launching ‘Amazing Bordeaux Experiences’ in 2018, which offers clients a specially selected package of best hospitality and experiences the region can offer. You are welcome to join one of the select weeks. Find more information on our Experiences page or request details of itinerary, availability and pricing here.
One of the great things about the Bordeaux region, home of Château Living, is the wonderful diversity of things to do. The Bay of Arcachon and Atlantic coast is in easy reach, just one hour West of Bordeaux. Here you can sail in the bay, laze on the beach, climb to the top Europe’s highest sand dune for magnificent ocean views or relax at a quaint waterside shack enjoying some super fresh seafood; a lunch of sunshine, oysters and rosé.
They used to call her the ‘Sleeping Beauty’, but Bordeaux is now wide awake and ready for action. The recently opened Cité du Vin continues the impressive redevelopment of the Garonne riverfront with a state-of-the-art wine-lovers’ experience, and the city’s gastronomic revolution keeps building on its own success.
An exciting new hospitality and events team, bringing a relaxed but luxurious and bespoke service to the fantastic Bordeaux region.
To provide bespoke vacations, at beautiful and unique châteaux in the south west of France. We have an exclusive portfolio of properties hand picked for their individual style and character, and an experienced and dedicated team to provide luxury but relaxed hospitality. We market these properties for catered vacations, taking care of all aspects of all bookings. Our focus is on offering great food and wine packages, as well as relaxation and well being in the beautiful Bordeaux region.
Our dedicated in-house operation allows us to personally handle each and every aspect of our guests vacations. Our properties are all hand picked and lovingly cared for, so we can guarantee that the quality and attention to detail is of the highest standards. The team has gained a wealth of experience providing bespoke, luxury hospitality at world class venues and locations, from the UK, to France, Switzerland, North America and Australasia. Our combined knowledge, and shared ethos for providing a quality, professional, but relaxed service was the driving force behind Château Living, and also our desire to bring that quality to the incredible Bordeaux area. We share a passion for a certain way of life, enjoying great locally sourced, seasonal and healthy food, great wine, beautiful surroundings, and value quality time with family and friends. This is the experience we want to pass on to our guests to ensure we deliver truly memorable vacations.
Food is huge on the agenda for us, we strive towards using only the best, locally sourced ingredients, championing the ethos that simple really can be beautiful. We care about what we eat, what we cook, what we produce, and endeavour to only serve food lovingly and thoughtfully prepared. We don’t put restrictions on what we do, so what we offer ranges from an elegant formal dinner to a relax feast cooked over fire, both will be equally delicious.
AND OF COURSE, WINE…
Another important aspect of Château Living, there’s a reason why we created our business in the Bordeaux region. The area produces some of the best and most prestigious wines in the world. All of our unique and hand picked Châteaux produce wine, providing our guests with a special opportunity to stay at a working vineyard, to learn first hand the secrets of wine making, and of course to taste some great vintages, paired with a delicious feast of local and seasonal food cooked by our own chefs.
It’s an exciting year for us in Bordeaux, and we’ve got some great things filling up our calendar already. Check out our website and get in touch and we hope to welcome you to Bordeaux in the near future.
All the best
The Château Living team
