Field tours

During the symposium, 3 technical tours by bus are scheduled at the end of the day on 4, 5 and 7 July. Wine growers open the door of their properties to share their passion with you. Participants will have the chance to discover the terroir and outstanding wines of 3 emblematic wine regions of Bordeaux (Saint-Emilion, Médoc, Sauternes). At each site, we will discuss terroir and climate change around soil pits, vineyards and visit the cellars of the partner wineries. Each tour will end with a wine tasting and dinner on site from 8pm. The return to the hotels is scheduled after 11pm.
