Private Estate Tour & Wine Tasting at Château Balac

Journey into the heart of Bordeaux's celebrated Haut-Médoc wine region for a private shore excursion at Château Balac.

Nestled amidst serene woodland and gravelly vineyards in Saint-Laurent-Médoc, this charming, family-owned estate has been passionately cultivated across three generations by the Touchais family.

Holding prestigious Cru Bourgeois status and embracing organic viticulture, the château produces elegant, expressive blends of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc aged in French oak barrels.

During your private visit, you will stroll through the scenic vines, explore the traditional winemaking cellars, and enjoy an intimate guided tasting of their finest vintages.

Hosted Visit & Special Event at La Cité de la Mer, Cherbourg

In Cherbourg, the very port where Titanic made her sole continental European call in April 1912, enjoy a private hosted visit and special event at La Cité de la Mer.

Housed within the magnificent Art Deco Transatlantic Maritime Terminal, this world-class maritime museum brings the liner's story full circle through the acclaimed Titanic: Return to Cherbourg exhibition.

Walk through evocative recreations of the ship's corridors and cabins, examine authentic artefacts recovered from the ocean floor, and trace the poignant journeys of the passengers who boarded here.

Your visit also includes access to Le Nautile, the legendary deep-sea submersible engineered to descend 6,000 metres, which famously explored the wreck of the Titanic and unlocked the mysteries of the North Atlantic abyss.
