The Best Time to Visit Bordeaux  
The best time to visit Bordeaux for a honeymoon is typically during the late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) when the weather is mild, and the vineyards are at their best. During these months, temperatures are comfortable for exploring the city’s charming streets, indulging in wine tastings at renowned chateaux, and enjoying romantic strolls along the Garonne River. Spring brings blooming flowers, while fall offers the spectacle of the grape harvest, known as the vendange, creating a vibrant atmosphere in the wine region. If you don’t want the crowds, avoid the peak summer months. The peak summer season also means higher accommodation prices.
For a truly romantic experience, consider timing your visit to coincide with one of Bordeaux’s cultural events or festivals, such as the Bordeaux Wine Festival in June or the Bordeaux Fete le Vin, held every two years.
