President’s Trip to Jefferson’s Bordeaux. This fall!

Join AFCDV for a specially crafted tour as we trace the steps of Thomas Jefferson, whose interest in and love of wine sparked a relationship between France and the United States that continues to this day.

Our inspired itinerary will include visits to some of the celebrated sites such as Châteaux Margaux, Carbonnieux, and Haut Brion, where the young Ambassador relished his first taste of Bordeaux! We’ll enjoy tailor-made culinary and wine experiences at the Châteaux, exquisite dining, expert-led tours, and of course, a visit to La Cité du Vin to see the 2023 revitalization of the permanent exhibition. On February 4, 2023, La Cité re-opened to much fanfare with new modules focused on terroir, climate, and viticulture.

The trip will cost $5,500 per person, not including hotel accommodations and airfare/travel to Bordeaux. Space is limited for this exclusive (small group) tour, and rooms have been reserved at the newly-opened 5-star boutique Hotel Villas Foch, centrally located in the heart of Bordeaux and steps from Le Jardin Public.
