September Sips: 9 Spots To Visit During Bordeaux Wine Month

Now in its fifth year, the annual month-long celebration shines a spotlight onto one of the world’s best-known wine regions. And luckily for us wine drinkers, it’s an opportunity for us to discover the value and unexpected diversity that it offers – think big flavours and intense aromas, but also, and perhaps unexpectedly, younger, fresher and lighter wines. You’ll finally find the perfect bottle to pair with the impending autumn-winter months. 

Every September, retailers, bars and merchants across the country come together to celebrate Bordeaux, offering masterclasses and tastings for lovers of wine to learn more about the region and discover some new Bordeaux favourites.
