What a treat to meet in Bordeaux for a weekend with your best friends to celebrate your birthday! A weekend full of surprises: cake and crémant on arrival, a pyjama party & truffle cooking class; a morning cycling the trail to a château for a posh picnic lunch, only to return by horse & carriage; dressing up for birthday dinner with a fruity chocolate cake ‘to die for’; dancing to live musicians and cosying with friends by the fire pit- memories to last a lifetime!
The table is set for an exclusive party of American gourmands to enjoy a Birthday Banquet in the style of the French monarch Louis XIV. The extravagant 7-course menu was the climax of a week’s Summer vacation hosted by Château Living. The team of chefs, stylists and servers delivered a magnificent feast, which we were told, compared to the best the gourmands had enjoyed anywhere.
To celebrate a special birthday, what better than to invite your friends to a fairytale château near Bordeaux! The birthday boy, working in London, invited his US friends to meet him in France for an unforgettable celebration weekend.
Château Living took care of all of the hospitality details from arrival to departure; providing delicious breakfasts, grazing lunches and sumptuous dinners. For some the days started early with an exercise class; stretching, followed by a run through the vines and into the forest.
Others were able to enjoy a massage to help them unwind. Nobody missed the wine tour visiting fine Bordeaux region château vineyards and tasting some exceptional vintage wines. All-in-all it was a splendid occasion – many happy returns!
THANK YOU for sharing this amazing château with myself and my friends. Everything from the decor, the grounds and especially the food have been nothing short of PERFECTION!
This stay has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I look forward to visiting again in the future. Please never stop being AMAZING!
