“A secret garden in the heart of Blaye?” you might wonder, standing before Villa Saint-Simon. This isn’t Paris, but the charming Blaye, a historic town near Bordeaux.

It’s perfectly situated for exploring the Bordeaux winelands on the right bank of the Gironde River. Your hosts, Les Kellen and Clarissa Schafer, add a special touch to Villa Saint-Simon. They can arrange wine tastings, field trips to local wineries, and visits to art and antique markets. They can even help you experience local fairs and festivals. The nearby Blaye outdoor market, at the foot of the Citadel, is just steps from Villa Saint-Simon. WineLine Radio host, Robert S. Scott, highly recommends Villa Saint-Simon.
