What Is International Girls’ Day (Oct 11)?

In Bordeaux, it’s an inspiring chance to treat the girls. Whether family, friends, or colleagues, to luxury experiences that celebrate strength, beauty, and sisterhood.
Special “Girls’ Day-Out”: Spa, Vinotherapy at Les Sources de Caudalie, Girly Cooking Class
Vinotherapy & Spa at Les Sources de Caudalie
Our day begins at Les Sources de Caudalie, tucked in the vineyards of Château Smith Haut Lafitte. This spa is legendary. It opened in 1999 as the first “Vinothérapie” spa by Caudalie founders Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas.
Treat yourselves to relaxing grape-seed scrubs, signature massages, or the super-popular vinotherapy bath using vine water. Perfect for glowing skin and joyful spirits. We’ll sip herbal infusions afterward in the serene lounge, feeling refreshed and radiant.
Girly Cooking Class
Next, we whisk to a charming kitchen studio for a cooking class, perhaps baking cannelés or mini tarts. Imagine bonding over batter and laughter while you learn from local pastry chefs. Every sweet creation tastes better with a little sparkling wine (optional, of course!).
Luxury Evening: Private Tasting & Female-Led Cellars with Bordeaux with Elodie
Private Tasting
As the day draws close, join us for an exclusive tasting in a female-led Bordeaux cellar. We’ll meet inspiring women winemakers who are producing outstanding bottles that blend tradition with new energy.
Cellar Navigation
We’ll guide you through estate cellars by candlelight, illuminating oak barrels, 2025 vintage secrets, and stories of perseverance. We’ll taste bold reds and crisp whites, celebrating their craft and your day.
Celebration Canapés
As the day winds down, sip a delicate rosé or white Bordeaux while we enjoy gourmet canapés thoughtfully prepared. Smoked salmon blinis, chèvre crostini, and petite pastries that perfectly complement your tasting.
