St. Michaels, MD, January 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- French Wine Explorers has introduced its 2011 schedule of group wine tours in France, revealing both new tours and several old favorites; all with a focus on the luxury wine tour company’s trademark of exclusive experiences and unique features.
This year’s featured small group tours focus on two of France’s special wine regions: Burgundy and Bordeaux. The Bordeaux Prestige, the Grand Cru Tour of Burgundy, and the Bordeaux Wine Harvest tours are all fully escorted by an expert wine guide and include luxury hotels, gourmet meal pairings and deluxe transportation, along with VIP wine estate tours and tastings. Each also holds special experiences to cater to upscale travelers.
“I’m especially pleased with the tour schedule we are offering this year. These wine tours provide our guests with unforgettable vacations, offering them the chance to discover France’s finest wine regions through personal and intimate experiences,” says French Wine Explorers President Pascale Bernasse.
The Bordeaux Prestige tours are limited to parties of 12.

This tour includes VIP tastings at First Growth chateaux, Chateau d'Yquem in Sauternes, and legendary estates of Saint Emilion and Pomerol.
The Grand Cru Tour of Burgundy—also limited to 12 guests—is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for wine lovers to taste all 33 Grand Crus of Burgundy. Among the Grand Crus tasted will include the incredible Romanée-Conti Conti and Romanée-Conti La Tache of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Guests also will enjoy extensive tastings at top estates in the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, while indulging in luxury accommodations at 16th century Hôtel Le Cep in Beaune and the region’s finest gastronomic delights.
Finally, the Bordeaux Wine Harvest, limited to parties of 14, features VIP tastings at top Bordeaux estates, as well as region’s best up-and-coming estates.
