France: Developing Wine Tourism
A new winery has opened in the M’doc, France. Unique in it’s kind, this winery has always been the dream of Philippe Raoux, a man who already owns four wine estates including Ch’teau d’Arsac which has become a place for new discoveries, relaxation, shopping and culture.
The 2,500 square meter winery, designed by Bordeaux architect Patrick Hernandez, offers its customers special rooms for tasting, shopping as well as restaurants, parks, amphitheatres etc.
According to France Guide, the winery offers visitors different types of wines to discover
Various types of wine tasting sessions are possible, including the original concept of “oenological star signs”. This is an entertaining way to discover wine and your own tastes in this beverage, in five steps and with seven profiles.
Wines that correspond to your “sign” can then be found in the shop, with 16,000 carefully-selected French and foreign wines and a total of 40,000 bottles!

You may find a bargain, and I hope that you’ll enjoy yourself on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a red Merlot from an internationally renowned producer.
Among France’s eleven wine-growing regions Bordeaux ranks first in acreage with about 50% more land devoted to vineyards than the second-place Rhone Valley. But it’s more than just a question of acreage and volume. Bordeaux is widely considered as one of the top wine producing regions of the entire earth and has been for centuries.”
