What you can expect

Discover the wines and scenic waterfront of Bordeaux on a 1.5-hour wine tasting cruise, and marvel at 18th-century façades, Stone Bridge and other romantic bridges, and busy ports from the River Garonne. Explore the Chartrons district from the Garonne River.

Climb aboard the pleasure electric drive boat Sirius at Les Bateaux Bordelais landing stage (Quais des Chartrons) in the city centre. Set sail at 6:45 PM, and cruise by the historic façades of the Unesco-listed Port de la Lune with the romantic Stone bridge, and modern district of Bacalan with th eCité du Vin museum. Pass under the lift bridge of Pont Jacques-Chaban-Delmas, and continue past the Pont d’Aquitaine (Bordeaux' Golden Gate). Once you have sailed past the village of Lormont, the boat will turn around and cruise back to the city centre from the port zone of Bassens.

Along the way, taste different wines representative of the regional vineyards of Bordeaux, all served with typical aperitifs, cheeses, snacks and a local Canelé. Learn the history of Bordeaux and its river and wine trade. Then, return to the quay for an approximate 8:30 PM disembarkation.
