Sauternes

Just 8 minutes from the La Farguaise hotel residence, the village of Sauternes is a destination of choice for lovers of wine and picturesque landscapes. Renowned throughout the world for its exceptional sweet wines, Sauternes embodies the Gironde art of living in the heart of a unique terroir.

The secret to these prestigious wines lies in the region's microclimate, where morning mist encourages the appearance of the famous "Botrytis cinerea", or noble rot, giving Sauternes wines their sweetness and complex aromas. During your visit, be sure to discover the emblematic wine châteaux, such as Château d'Yquem, Château Guiraud or Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, which will welcome you for tastings and guided tours.

Beyond the pleasures of wine, Sauternes offers an enchanting natural setting, ideal for a walk through the vineyards or a break on the banks of the Ciron, the river that crosses the region. The rolling panoramas, bathed in light, make it a destination as relaxing as it is inspiring.

After a day of wonder in Sauternes, return to La Farguaise, where multiple services await you to complete your stay: comfortable rooms, relaxation areas and an ideal location close to the main roads to easily explore the region. Whether you are passionate about wine, curious about history or simply looking for a peaceful getaway, La Farguaise and Sauternes form a perfect duo for an unforgettable experience.

Sauternes, with its legendary vineyards and bucolic charm, is an essential stopover to discover the soul of South Gironde, all just a few minutes from your accommodation.
