Informations
Château Loudenne, the iconic ‘pink château’ of the Médoc, combines history, nature and art de vivre. Founded in the 17th century, it is one of the few Médoc estates with direct access to the estuary. Certified organic, it offers walks and bike rides through the vineyards, picnics, boat trips from its private port, tours of the Victorian cellars and the historic underground passageway, followed by a tasting. You can extend the experience by staying in one of its charming cottages in the heart of the estate.Open 7/7 July and August.
