Who and where: Les and Cynthia Reese of Festus standing in the archways of the Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey in France with the vineyards in the backgrounds.
The trip: They took a seven-day river cruise on the AmaDolce by Ama Waterways, sailing the Garonne and the the Dordogne rivers throughout the Bordeaux wine region. The cruise began and ended in Bordeaux, with port cities long the way of, Libourne, Blaye, Bourg and Cadillac. The cruise included wine tasting and food pairing in every port.
Travel tip: The best time to visit the Bordeaux region is during the harvest season. Harvest can be any time between mid August and mid October depending on the weather for that growing period. One can view the grapes being picked in the vineyards and taste the varieties of grapes at their peak flavor.
