Planning a company event in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Nouvelle-Aquitaine pairs a lively business city, Bordeaux, with wine estates that open their cellars to groups and an Atlantic coast for activities by the ocean. A seminar can start in the city and move out to a château among the vines or a hotel facing the surf.
When to go
Spring and early autumn suit most groups, with mild weather in the vineyards and on the coast. Wine estates are at their busiest during the harvest in September and October, and the coast is crowded in July and August. Bordeaux itself works all year.
Getting the team there
The high-speed line puts Bordeaux Saint-Jean within easy reach of Paris, and Bordeaux-Mérignac has flights from across Europe. Biarritz and Bergerac airports serve the Basque coast and the Périgord. Estates in the Médoc or around Saint-Émilion are reached by coach from Bordeaux.
Châteaux and coast
Wine châteaux with tasting rooms and cellars converted for meetings, some with bedrooms and a restaurant; hotels in central Bordeaux; ocean-facing hotels in Biarritz and around the Arcachon basin; country estates in the Périgord and the Cognac country for smaller groups.
Programme ideas
Vineyard tours, tastings and blending workshops are the region’s classic, along with a visit to a Cognac house. On the coast, surf lessons, golf and oysters on the Arcachon basin make good team afternoons.
