Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou – Bordeaux, France
Since 1720, the Victorian-style Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has emerged as a staple of winemaking in the French Médoc, but the property itself dates back to the 13th century. The vineyards are now owned by the Borie family, who brought its reputation to the highest level in Bordeaux by the 1950s. What makes the Château Ducru-Beaucaillou a fascination in viticulture is its dedication to perfection. With land as rich in history as it is in wine, the winery thrives in ideal conditions of the balanced region of the Médoc, an estuary overlook, and the iridescent quartz pebbles that line the property. These pebbles, Gunz gravel, sweep the ground and facilitate daytime warmth to the vines at night. The result is a ripening hoard of grapes that guarantee high-quality wines that would become one of the three signatures of the Château Ducru-Beaucaillou: Ducru-Beaucaillou, La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou, and Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou.
Robert Mondavi Winery – Napa Valley, USA

Touring the vineyards means sampling the edible gardens, ‘Vineyard to Table’ lunches and ‘Legacy Dinner’ options that display Mondavi’s love for wine, food, and life.
