In the airBirds don’t get the chance to taste the fine wines from Bordeaux, Bergerac or the other regions of Aquitaine. However, you have the chance to taste a bit of their sky in a hot air balloon or a helicopter. Viewed from the sky, on a sharp clear morning or a bright summer sky, the vineyards become magical.
Médoc
