Bordeaux is everything you imagine it to be; beautiful, romantic and a feast for all senses. Wine production has been refined over hundreds of years and some of the best wines in the world are made right here. With a wine region comes extraordinary undulating landscapes, rolling vineyards and lush green vistas, your playground on this eleven-day river journey. As you cruise along the Gironde, Dordogne and Garonne rivers, cycle through storybook landscapes, learn the winemaking process and sample delicious fare prepared with French finesse. On board, watch the expert Scenic chefs create traditional dishes in the exclusive Scenic Culinaire cooking school. Beyond the culinary, you’ll enjoy a wealth of historical landmarks, from elegant châteaux to churches older than most of the new world. Two extensions show you even more of Europe. Enjoy a three-day stay in Paris to discover the magic of the City of Light and four days that capture the essence of Madrid, blending its artistic heritage, regal splendour and lively spirit.
