BORDEAUX: HISTORY AT EVERY TURN
The 7-night Taste of Bordeaux itinerary takes a different approach, threading together the history and culture of the region through a series of encounters. In the Isle Valley east of Libourne, a visit to the Moulin de Porchères, a water mill operating on largely unchanged machinery since 1937, leads into a breadmaking workshop where you can craft an artisanal loaf under expert guidance.
Further along the Dordogne, you can take a walking tour through the medieval village of Bourg and its Roman-era streets and English fortifications, visit the quaint Horse- Carriage Museum and descend into a World War II petrol cistern that sits quietly beneath the town’ s well-preserved surface. The day’ s most convivial moment arrives at an exclusive wine festival held for AmaWaterways guests in the village, where wines from the Côtes du Bourg appellation are poured alongside local food and live French music.
