Awaiting Your Return From Shore

 Located 70 miles inland from the Atlantic on the Garonne River, Bordeaux traces its origin to the 3rd century, when it was Aquitaine's Roman capital. From 1154 to 1453 it prospered under the rule of the English, whose fondness for the region’s red wines gave impetus to the local wine industry.
  Bordeaux even served as the nation’s capital for one year in 1870, for a time at the beginning of World War I, and for two weeks in 1940 before the Vichy government was proclaimed.
  Its neo-classical architecture, wide avenues, and well-tended public squares and parks give the city a certain 18th-century grandeur. Excellent museums, an imposing cathedral, and a much-praised theater add to the city’s attractions. The principal highlights, clustered around the town center, lie between Place Gambetta and the banks of the Garonne River.
  Surrounding Bordeaux are the world-renowned vineyards and châteaux. Visitors from all over the globe come here to learn about the winemaking process--from growing the grapes to harvesting, fermentation and bottling these top-quality wines.
  The city’s most important economic activity is centered around the marketing and exporting of Bordeaux wines.
  Here in the wine region the title of château can mean anything from a palatial residence to a basic winery. There are thousands of châteaux that rank from very modest family establishments to large famous properties where grapes are raised, fermented and then matured to produce the area’s famous wines.
  Silversea offers four exciting shore excursions in the Bordeaux area: a city highlights tour, including the old town of narrow streets and quaint squares; two different excursions to St. Emilion, and the recommended shore excursion to the Medoc region, with a specially arranged visit to Chateau Mouton Rothschild, where you will visit the wine museum and the cellars of this world famous wine estate. (The wine tasting comes later--at another chateau.) Sign up for this tour immediately following your embarkation!
