The annual Bordeaux Fete (http://www.virgin-vacations.com/site_vv/pub_detail.asp-iDept-333-id-13028-k-313-nav-7) de Vin runs from June 29th through July 2nd and will highlight the passion the vintners of France have, as well as the corresponding love of those same wines by connoisseurs from around the world.
