Nestling between vines and forest, Les Sources de Cheverny welcome you, for the first two days of your stay, to an enchanting natural setting. On arrival, you will discover your room, a cocoon of charm and refined comfort, designed to see that you feel right at home. You can then, for example, head for the boot room on the ground floor of the Château du Breuil, the starting-point for a circuit of about 1.5 km in the forest. Upon your return, you'll enjoy a moment of total relaxation with a treatment at the Spa by Caudalie. Your day will end at L’Auberge, one of the hotel’s two restaurants, where you will relish cuisine paying tribute to the Loire Valley’s terroir in a laid-back ambiance.
On awakening, a generous basket will be waiting at your door for a breakfast shared in the privacy of your room. Today will offer the chance to visit some of the most famous castles in the Loire Valley, such as Chambord, Chenonceau, Blois or Cheverny. Back at the hotel, you can step inside L’Auberge for a delightful tea-time before relaxing in the hot tub outside the spa, or in one of the Château’s lounges. The final stage in this escapade to the Loire Valley will be enjoyed at Le Favori, the hotel’s starred restaurant, with 4-course dining celebrating cuisine that honours the living world, human beings and plant-life.
You will take the road to Bordeaux to arrive at Les Sources de Caudalie, at the very heart of the Graves vineyard. Here again, you will be invited on arrival to take possession of a room with unique decor. The more energetic can then take to the saddle to explore the estate and its surroundings by bike, while the curious will explore the “forest of the senses” dotted with works by young contemporary artists. In the evening, you will dine at La Table du Lavoir, the country inn of the Palace des Vignes, where you will rediscover great classics of family cuisine revisited, while benefitting from a magnificent wine-list.
Your final day will begin with a delicious breakfast served buffet-style at La Grand’Vigne. You will then visit the prestigious Grand Cru Classé Château Smith Haut Lafitte, whose vines surround Les Sources de Caudalie. You will discover its 16th-century tower, its vat house, underground wineries and cooperage, and enjoy a tasting session. In the afternoon, you can relax while sunbathing at the edge of the pool or make a few laps in the indoor pool, basking in natural light. Under its splendid ceiling beam, the rays of the sun dancing on the water will give an entirely different dimension to your bathing. Your stay will be crowned by an exceptional dinner at La Grand’Vigne, the 2-star restaurant at Les Sources de Caudalie. Here, Chef Nicolas Masse will see that you discover cuisine that stirs emotions, subtle and committed, in seven courses, inspired by the seasons and the treasures of the Aquitaine terroir.
