Made a rez 2 months in advance. Very much enjoyed our private tour and tasting here. Before the tasting we had an extensive tour of the structure built in 1120! We got to see the upstairs that can be rented. Lots of history and interesting facts. Very cool cellar and barrel room. Tasting was good. The wine was okay, our guide Stella was really great and guided us through tasting each wine and pointing out notes and flavors.

Patrick was such a nice and attentive host, this was one of the absolute highlights of our road trip through the Bordeaux region. We'll be back!

Our stay was above and beyond amazing. Our host made us feel right at home (a home that is a castle!). I can't even begin to list all the beautiful details. From seeing the swans in the moat as we arrived to being served the most wonderful breakfast as we headed off to other France adventures. We loved it all! Thank you!

Chateau La Tour located in the Medoc Region of France is lovely to visit. Part of the chateau was part of a castle from the 1100' s. There is a most around it. It produces mostly Red Wine but has a nice variety of Whites. The tour is worth while with a tasting afterward. Enjoy.

We stayed at the La Tour Carnet for one night and had a wonderful experience! The staff was very helpful and always had a smile on their faces! The rooms were beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The grounds were also perfectly manicured and we enjoyed seeing the wildlife (unfortunately we missed the peacocks!) We also took a tour of the winery, which was very interesting. The wine was delicious and we left with a few bottles that we will be saving for a special occasion. Highly recommend if you are traveling through the Medoc region.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
