28 and 29 March

The châteaux of the Bordeaux peninsula present the new edition of their Open Days on 28 and 29 March 2026!

Wines with character

Little known, from a forgotten terroir, the wines of the Presqu'île have their place in the world of Bordeaux. Family-run estates with an authentic spirit, from less than 3 hectares to 40 hectares, here it's not size that counts, but character!

The terroir of the peninsula, Bordeaux's wine granary since the 17th century

By the middle of the 18th century, the gravel and clay soils between Lormont and Saint-Louis-de-Montferrand accounted for 11% of the Bordeaux wine harvest, putting the wines of the Presqu'ile in third place, just behind those of the Médoc and Graves.
Until the 19th century, the wineries, often on the banks of the Garonne or the Dordogne, made it possible for these wines, reputed to be excellent cargo wines, to be received and shipped directly by water.

Today, the men and women who work the wine on these lands do so with passion and common sense, and they want to spread the word. That's why they've come together, whatever their method of cultivation (traditional, integrated, organic, biodynamic, etc.) or the size of their operation, to put the spotlight on their wines.
