About this activity

At the wheel of your convertible buggy , equipped with a GPS tablet-guide, take a drive through the Graves countryside, Montesquieu's native region. During this getaway, you can choose between a wine-tasting visit in a Pessac-Léognan classified property or a guided visit of the Château de la Brède, Montesquieu's home.

Discover at your own pace the Graves wine region, the birthplace of Bordeaux wines, dotted with family estates as well as the most prestigious Pessac-Léognan names. Make a stop at the must see Château de la Brède, home of Charles de Montesquieu, the great philosopher.

You are guided but free to make stops or detours as and when you please.

Bring along some friends for an even more enjoyable driving experience: several moving vehicles can be linked together, so you remain in control of your own tour!
