Fine Wine Estates

Immersive, expert-led journeys tailored to individual passions, designed exclusively for private parties and featuring a signature Mandarin Oriental welcome and touches.

 

Mandarin Oriental has partnered with The Luminaire, who create luxury travel experiences that offer a deeper understanding of the world, to design a collection of transformational journeys for a growing number of our hotels. 

 

This experience is designed by The Luminaire exclusively for guests of Mandarin Oriental, Paris. Lovers of fine wine begin at Mandarin Oriental, Paris, home to an exceptional on-site cellar, before venturing to Bordeaux to discover one of the finest wine regions in the world.

 

The itinerary includes privileged access, and chauffer service, to historic estates such as Saint-Émilion, Pessac-Léognan and Sauternes. Grands Crus Classés and rare vintages can be sampled during exclusive private tastings with sommeliers, cellar masters and winemakers to understand the evolution of their craft over centuries.
