Plan your visit to the restaurant Café Lavinal

I prepared our wine list featuring 1,800 wines for guests who come to discover the region. I offer grand crus from Bordeaux as well as a magnificent selection of wines from elsewhere. This effort earned the restaurant a spot as a finalist in the “2017 Tour des Cartes” in the Michelin-starred Luxury Hotels and Restaurants category. Continue the experience with a wine-tasting class and a châteaux tour.

The right harmony is a right balance

For an entire vintage, from vineyard to bottle, Viniv allows you to delve into the art of winemaking and create your own wine variety with the most coveted appellations d’origine contrôlées of Bordeaux. With the help of astute advisors from the Lynch-Bages team, select your grape variety and parcels to create your own blend and label. The result will be unforgettable moments of sharing that will mark your events.

Located between the estuary and the beaches of the Atlantic, this classic Gironde charterhouse is a lively place where the Cazes family cultivates the discreet charm and warm elegance of a home surrounded by vineyards and adorned with the works of contemporary artists. The wine list, with more than 1,800 vintages, includes Bordeaux Grands Crus such as the renowned Château Lynch-Bages, which has been with the family since 1939.
