A true discovery of wine and gastronomy awaits you in this delightful tour of Bordeaux, the capital of the Aquitaine region, and the Basque Country (in Spanish, Pais Vasco). Bordeaux is the world's wine industry capital and its inhabitants, the Bordelais, are proud of their inheritance and the historic part of the city in UNESCO World Heritage list as "an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble" of the 18th century. Equally exciting is the discovery of the Basque Country as you travel from France into Spain. The Basque region stretches 100 miles from Bayonne to Bilbao, with many similarities in language and cuisine shared by the French and Spanish regions. As with Aquitaine, the Basque region is experiencing what could be called a 21st-century renaissance, including the spectacular new architecture of the Guggenheim art museum in Bilbao and the celebrated resorts of Biarritz and San Sebastian to name a few. You will definitely reward your palate with 3 dinners in regional restaurants to savor traditional specialties of the region of Aquitaine and the Basque country. One of the restaurants is Michelin rated. Being in the world first wine region, you will attend tasting of prestigious wines at some Chateaux in the Bordeaux region. An exciting perk will be caviar tasting in Arcachon. Everywhere along the route Central Holidays' signature superior hotels, modern transportation and knowledgeable and friendly driver-guides.
