When two icons of French art de vivre come together, the result is nothing short of exceptional. This is precisely what happens when the Intercontinental Bordeaux – Le Grand Hôtel, a symbol of refinement and timeless elegance, partners with Œlysium, the leading luxury wine experience brand in France. This collaboration brings together the elegance of a five-star establishment with the bespoke immersion of curated Bordeaux wine tours and wine tastings.
The Intercontinental Bordeaux is more than a five-star hotel, it’s a landmark, a lifestyle, and a gateway to the soul of Bordeaux. Located in the heart of the historic city, just steps from the Place de la Bourse and the Garonne River, the hotel embodies the sophistication of the region.
To elevate its guest experience even further, the Grand Hôtel has chosen to collaborate with Œlysium, a disruptive force in the world of Bordeaux wine tours and Bordeaux wine tastings. This partnership allows the hotel to offer a fully personalized wine experience curated by the finest local experts.
Thanks to this exclusive partnership, hotel guests gain access to bespoke Bordeaux wine tours designed around their individual tastes, preferences, and time constraints. Whether exploring the legendary châteaux of the Médoc, the UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion, or the refined whites of Graves and Sauternes, every itinerary is crafted by a Œlysium Wine Ambassador. This is an elite local guide trained to deliver a unique, immersive experience.
Each tour is built to meet the highest expectations, offering private visits, Grand Cru tastings, and door-to-door luxury transportation, always with the utmost attention to detail
and storytelling.
For those seeking a deeper experience without leaving the city, Œlysium also offers Bordeaux wine tastings in a confidential, curated cellar in the heart of Bordeaux. This venue, carefully validated by the Intercontinental Bordeaux, guarantees the highest standards of elegance, intimacy, and discovery.
Guests are welcomed by a Œlysium Wine Ambassador, who provides guided tastings featuring rare and iconic labels, chosen based on each participant’s taste profile. From vertical tastings of classified growths to food pairings with local delicacies, the experience is as educational as it is unforgettable.
What makes Œlysium truly stand out is its disruptive approach to wine distribution and experience. Rather than offering standard, touristic packages, Œlysium has created an exclusive ecosystem — or œnosystem — that connects guests, properties, and wine professionals in a mutually beneficial loop.
In other words, the wine journey doesn’t stop at the vineyard or the tasting room. It continues all the way to your private cellar, wherever you are in the world.
The collaboration between Œlysium and the Intercontinental Bordeaux is a natural alignment of two institutions committed to excellence, personalization, and emotional storytelling.
Guests at the hotel can now access the most exclusive Bordeaux wine tours and tastings without lifting a finger, all curated with the guarantee of an exceptional experience. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a curious enthusiast, your wine journey begins and ends with confidence, style, and authenticity.
