This past summer, my wife and I took a delightful eight-day luxury river cruise with Uniworld called “Bordeaux, Vineyards & Chateaux.” The Garonne and Dordogne rivers and the Gironde estuary carried our ship through the Bordeaux area, one of France’s most important wine-producing regions and home to thousands of chateaux and a plethora of vineyards. Along the way, we toured many historic castles and sampled great wine. Yes, it was a tough job, but someone had to do it!
We cruised leisurely on our luxury floating boutique hotel, stopping periodically for land tours in picturesque villages, intriguing cathedrals, enchanting medieval fortresses, and magnificent wineries.
