Les Sources de Caudalie is located in Martillac, in the heart of the Graves wine region, surrounded by the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte. From the hotel, just a few minutes’ walk will take you directly among the vines.

This exceptional location provides the perfect introduction to the Pessac-Léognan appellation, renowned for its elegant red wines as well as its outstanding dry white wines.

Just 200 metres from the hotel, Château Smith Haut Lafitte is a prestigious Grand Cru Classé de Graves. Guided tours offer the opportunity to explore the winery, the underground cellars housing approximately 1,000 oak barrels and the estate’s own cooperage, before enjoying a tasting of its wines.

This is one of the defining features of a stay at Les Sources de Caudalie: you can begin exploring the Bordeaux wine region without even needing a car.

The vineyards surrounding the hotel offer many opportunities for further discovery.

A cycling excursion takes guests through the vineyards of several renowned estates, including Châteaux Smith Haut Lafitte, Carbonnieux, La Louvière, Larrivet Haut-Brion, Haut-Bailly and Rochemorin.

Accompanied by the hotel’s sports coach, this approximately 90-minute ride reveals the vineyards from a different perspective, allowing guests to appreciate the landscapes and heritage of the region beyond the tasting room.

For those wishing to discover another prestigious estate, Château Pape Clément in Pessac is an excellent choice.

Dating back to the 13th century, this historic Grand Cru Classé de Graves offers a range of guided visits and wine-tasting experiences.

Together, Château Smith Haut Lafitte and Château Pape Clément provide two complementary introductions to the history, terroir and winemaking traditions of Pessac-Léognan.

Staying at Les Sources de Caudalie also makes it possible to explore the wider Bordeaux wine region, using the hotel as a comfortable base for day trips.

A visit to Saint-Émilion combines remarkable architectural heritage, beautiful vineyard landscapes and the discovery of wines in which Merlot plays a leading role.
Among the estates recommended by our concierge team are Château La Gaffelière, one of Saint-Émilion’s historic wine properties, and Château La Dominique.
Exploring Saint-Émilion offers an opportunity to compare two distinct expressions of Bordeaux winemaking: the wines of Graves and Pessac-Léognan, close to the hotel, and those of the Right Bank.

For guests planning a longer stay, a day can also be devoted to Sauternes and Barsac, celebrated for their exceptional sweet wines. Château d’Yquem and Château Suduiraut are among the most emblematic estates in this prestigious wine region.

Rather than visiting numerous wineries within a single appellation, spending several nights at Les Sources de Caudalie allows guests to appreciate the remarkable diversity of Bordeaux’s vineyards at a more leisurely pace.

After a day exploring the vineyards, the wine experience continues at Les Sources de Caudalie.

At La Grand’Vigne, the hotel’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Chef Nicolas Masse creates refined cuisine inspired by seasonal ingredients and the region’s culinary heritage, with wines playing a central role in the dining experience.
La Table du Lavoir offers a more relaxed, rustic atmosphere, ideal for enjoying regional cuisine in a convivial setting.

The Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa offers another way to experience the world of wine.
Inspired by the beneficial properties of grapes and grape seeds, the treatments reflect the origins and philosophy of Caudalie, whose story is closely connected to the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte.

After a day of winery visits and tastings, the spa provides a welcome opportunity to relax and unwind.

It is this combination of vineyards, gastronomy and wellbeing that makes Les Sources de Caudalie more than simply a luxury hotel on the Bordeaux wine route. Here, every aspect of the stay is connected to the art of living in wine country.

Within walking distance: Château Smith Haut Lafitte, just 200 metres from the hotel.

Seven hectares of Romorantin vines have been planted organically on the grounds of Les Sources de Cheverny.

These vineyards produce La Grand’Vigne, the hotel’s own Cour-Cheverny wine, developed in collaboration with local winemaker Philippe Tessier.

Romorantin alone is reason enough to explore this part of the Loire Valley. Closely associated with the Cour-Cheverny appellation, this distinctive grape variety produces white wines renowned for their freshness, minerality and complexity.

A stay at Les Sources de Cheverny therefore offers the opportunity to discover a wine region that is less widely known than Sancerre or Vouvray, yet has a remarkably distinctive identity.

Several wineries near the hotel offer the opportunity to explore the region’s winemaking traditions and meet local producers.

Domaine Le Portail, approximately 2–3 km from the hotel, is an excellent place to begin. Set within a former monastery where vines have been cultivated for centuries, this family-run estate produces Cheverny red, white and rosé wines, Cour-Cheverny and Crémant de Loire sparkling wines. Cellar visits are available by appointment.

Another notable estate, Domaine des Huards, in Cour-Cheverny, has been associated with the Gendrier family since 1846. Its vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, producing wines under the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny appellations. It is a particularly interesting destination for visitors wishing to learn more about Romorantin.

Domaine Tessier has a special connection with Les Sources de Cheverny, as Philippe Tessier helped develop La Grand’Vigne. Today, the family estate is run by Simon Tessier and produces organically farmed wines from both the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny appellations.

Three estates, three different approaches, but one shared appeal: discovering how variations in soil, location and individual winemaking techniques create different expressions of the same wine region.

For visitors wishing to explore the diversity of local wines without arranging multiple winery appointments, the Maison des Vins de Cheverny is an excellent destination.

Located close to the Château de Cheverny, this wine centre brings together wines from numerous local producers. Its innovative tasting system allows visitors to discover up to 100 different wines, including Cheverny reds, whites and rosés, as well as Cour-Cheverny whites.

It is an ideal introduction before visiting individual wineries, or an opportunity to compare different producers after a day of vineyard tours.

For wine enthusiasts planning a longer stay, Cheverny also provides a convenient starting point for exploring other Loire Valley wine regions.

In Montlouis-sur-Loire, Domaine de la Taille aux Loups and the wines of François Chidaine offer the opportunity to discover different expressions of Chenin Blanc.

In Vouvray, Clos Naudin, the estate of Philippe Foreau, is another highly regarded winery recommended by our concierge team.

A day exploring these vineyards offers a fascinating comparison between Romorantin, discovered around Cheverny, and Chenin Blanc, one of the Loire Valley’s most important grape varieties.

From the hotel, the famous Route des Grands Crus (Burgundy’s Grand Cru Wine Route) is just moments away.

Established in 1937, this scenic wine route stretches from Dijon to Santenay, passing through 37 wine-producing villages. Around Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, it leads to renowned destinations such as Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges, all within a short drive.

One of the greatest advantages of staying at Les Sources de Vougeot is the proximity of these exceptional vineyards. Guests can visit a winery in the morning, return to the hotel for lunch, and discover another wine-producing village in the afternoon, without spending hours on the road.

And when it comes to understanding Burgundy wines, taking your time makes all the difference.

In Burgundy, the concept of terroir takes on a particularly fascinating meaning through its Climats: precisely defined vineyard plots, each shaped by centuries of history and distinguished by its own geological characteristics, exposure and winemaking traditions.

The Climats of Burgundy’s vineyards have been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.

Walking through the vineyards between Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny offers a unique opportunity to appreciate this extraordinary mosaic. Within just a few hundred metres, the landscape can shift from one Climat to another, sometimes crossing from a Village appellation into a Premier Cru or Grand Cru vineyard.

A visit to the Château du Clos de Vougeot is an essential experience for anyone wishing to understand the history of Burgundy’s vineyards and the influence of the Cistercian monks on local winemaking traditions.

The Côte de Nuits is home to some of Burgundy’s most prestigious wine estates. However, not all are open to visitors, making it important to choose wineries that offer guided tours and tastings.

In Vosne-Romanée, approximately 6 minutes from the hotel, Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion is a family-run wine estate offering an introduction to traditional Burgundian winemaking. Visitors can explore the cellars, learn about the winemaking process and enjoy a guided tasting.

In Nuits-Saint-Georges, approximately 9 minutes away, Domaine Henri Gouges is another historic family estate. A visit offers valuable insight into the diversity of the vineyards and Climats of Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Also located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Faiveley, a family-owned wine house founded in 1825, welcomes visitors for an immersive experience combining historic cellars and wine tastings. The estate is approximately 14 minutes by car from Les Sources de Vougeot.

Together, these three estates provide an excellent introduction to Burgundy wines and can easily form the basis of one or two days exploring the Côte de Nuits.

For guests planning a longer wine-focused stay, Les Sources de Vougeot also offers easy access to Beaune and the southern vineyards of the Côte d’Or.

The Cité des Climats et Vins de Bourgogne in Beaune is an excellent place to begin or conclude a Burgundy wine journey. Its immersive exhibitions introduce visitors to the region’s history, appellations, vineyard classifications and winemaking traditions. The journey from the hotel takes approximately 25 minutes by car.

Beaune is also home to several historic wine houses that welcome visitors, including:

Maison Champy, founded in 1720 and recognised as Burgundy’s oldest wine merchant house.

Maison Louis Jadot, founded in 1859 and internationally renowned for its Burgundy wines.

Domaine Chanson, whose historic cellars are housed within an impressive medieval bastion.

For those interested in Burgundy’s celebrated white wines, Château de Meursault, approximately 30 minutes from the hotel, offers another memorable wine-tasting experience.

This excursion provides an opportunity to discover the differences between the predominantly Pinot Noir vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and the renowned Chardonnay-producing villages of the Côte de Beaune.

Burgundy is particularly well suited to slow travel.

From Les Sources de Vougeot, exploring the surrounding countryside on foot or by bicycle allows visitors to experience the vineyards from a different perspective.

Stone walls, historic vineyard enclosures known as clos, picturesque villages and carefully cultivated plots form a landscape shaped by generations of winegrowers.

Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée become more than prestigious names on wine labels. They are places to explore, landscapes to admire and terroirs to discover firsthand.

It is one of the most rewarding ways to understand what makes Burgundy’s Climats so unique.

Whether on foot or by bike, autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons to explore the vineyards of Burgundy. After the harvest, the landscape changes colour and trails wind their way between vineyard plots, dry-stone walls and traditional stone vineyard huts known locally as cabottes.

It is also the perfect time to discover the famous Climats of the Burgundy wine region, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. In Burgundy, the term Climat refers to a precisely defined vineyard plot, shaped over centuries and associated with its own distinctive terroir.

Around Les Sources de Vougeot lie some of the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated wine villages: Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin.

Visit the Château du Clos de Vougeot
Just a few minutes from Les Sources de Vougeot, the Château du Clos de Vougeot is an essential stop when exploring the Côte de Nuits.

After your visit, continue with a walk through the vineyards around Vougeot and Chambolle-Musigny.

Explore the Route des Grands Crus
From the hotel, Burgundy’s famous Route des Grands Crus leads to the great wine villages of the Côte de Nuits within minutes.
Take time to stop in Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée or Nuits-Saint-Georges, walk among the vineyard plots and arrange a Burgundy wine tasting with a local winemaker.

Discover Burgundy’s blackcurrant tradition
When the weather turns cooler, the Cassissium in Nuits-Saint-Georges offers an opportunity to discover another Burgundy speciality: blackcurrant.
Its interactive visitor experience is followed by a tour of the Védrenne liqueur distillery and a tasting, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available, making it an enjoyable activity for families too.

During your stay at Les Sources de Vougeot, set aside a day to explore Beaune, south of the hotel.

Visit the Hôtel-Dieu at the Hospices de Beaune, instantly recognisable by its colourful glazed-tile roofs and one of Burgundy’s most iconic historic monuments.
Then explore Beaune’s historic centre on foot, wandering between its ramparts, wine cellars and gourmet addresses.

Every November, Beaune hosts one of Burgundy’s major autumn events: the Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction. In 2026, the festivities will take place from 13 to 15 November, with the famous wine auction held on Sunday 15 November.

Autumn is also a time to slow down.

After a day exploring the Route des Grands Crus, return to the grounds of Les Sources de Vougeot, unwind at the Caudalie Spa and enjoy the warm atmosphere of the Château.
