Graves Region

Graves is a region surrounding the city of Bordeaux.

Graves' largest and most important estates are found directly south of Bordeaux.

Most travelers base themselves in Bordeaux. There is a signposted route, the Circuit Touristique de Graves, which winds past many significant châteaux.

The Maison des Vins de Graves is in Podensac, just north of Cérons on the N113. It provides information on the châteaux open to the public, including Haut-Brion, Haut-Bailly and de Chevalier. Most require advance notice from visitors.
