Up to five couples will have an immersive experience at one of the great Bordeaux wine estates, complemented by tastings and visits to neighboring properties, Michelin-starred cuisine and relaxation and serenity among the vines.

Château Troplong Mondot sits near the top of the Saint-Émilion classification as a Premier Grand Cru Classé. Situated on a hill with sweeping views of Saint-Émilion, the carefully tended and preserved land is a true gift of nature. Like most estates in the region, the vineyard is planted to 90% Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

The winning bidders’ party will have exclusive use of the château itself, a magnificent yet modern home completely renovated in 2019. Set among the vineyards for privacy, the house has a swimming pool and vegetable garden surrounded by a park and forests. You’ll tour the estate with an experienced guide and encounter horses ploughing the soil, have conversations with vine and wine experts and learn more about Troplong Mondot’s sustainable farming practices.

Over the next three days, you’ll indulge in private visits and tastings at five prestigious Grand Cru Classé estates located across Bordeaux’s most renowned appellations, including exquisite private lunches at three of these estates.

Your tailormade itinerary will be designed by The Bordeaux Concierge, curators of the most exclusive private wine experiences in Bordeaux. The Bordeaux Concierge was co-founded by Martin Hurst and Timothy Olson, and thanks to Martin and Tim’s personal connections with estate owners and winemakers throughout Bordeaux, your private visits, tastings and lunches will be intimate and personal, and hosted by key members of each estate’s team.

Additionally, Vignobles et Châteaux, located in the medieval town of Saint-Émilion and a specialist in older vintages, will curate a personalized wine experience for you, followed by a comprehensive tasting in their boutique containing over 1,800 labels.

Along with producing world-class wine, Château Troplong Mondot is home to the Michelin-starred restaurant Les Belles Perdrix. Nestled in the heart of the vineyards, it will provide a rare setting one evening where you will enjoy the inspired cuisine of Chef David Charrier, who creates dishes using ingredients grown at the estate and sourced from rigorously selected small producers. On another evening, dinner will be a poolside barbecue accompanied by a Three Liter bottle of 2015 Château Troplong Mondot.

During periods of relaxation, you may have a private yoga class in your residence or take advantage of a massage in the spa.

Memories of this trip will echo in your mind for years: the view overlooking the vineyards, the power and grace of the wines, the taste of regional cooking. All the while, your winning bid will help children climb out of poverty.
