I had already visited this Château when they welcomed the band Black Jack for the AC/DC tribute concert, and I really liked the place. Therefore when Mounia, who is in charge of Wine Tourism & Marketing, and is also a very friendly person (and very well organised!) invited me to take part in their Foodtruck day, I immediately booked the event in my diary. It was the opportunity to visit the place again, take part in the activities, and above all better my knowledge about the history of the Château !

FOODTRUCKS: Grab food before starting the afternoon

Visit the property

From the Middle Ages until today, history has evidenced the rich and prestigious past of Castera.
Vines have been planted here since the 14th century, making it one of the oldest estates in the Médoc.

Etienne de La Boétie used to be one of the owners of Château Castéra. Consequently his great friend Michel de Montaigne spent a lot of time here

Visit the Tower with Nadège and discover the whole history of the Château, from the Middle Age till the current owner, Herr Thomas Press. In 1986, his father Carl E. Press and Dieter Tondera jointly acquired Château Castera from Alexis Lichine.
They undertook a large-scale renovation and made significant investments to give to Château Castera a new life.

Kelly also sings in Lacanau every Sunday night over the summer. Always a chance to see her perform…

A cocktail while listening to music..

The best cocktail prepared by Laura who works at the property und kommt aus Deutschland ! Yes, she is German, and you would not say at all as she has such a perfect level of French. Ach ! diese Deutschen…ich liebe sie und bin ich immer so beindruckt, so begabt für die Fremdsprachen…nicht wie die meisten Fransozen …lol !

Ingredients for the Cocktail St Germain that I tried: St Germain liqueur (made of Elderflower), Perle rosé wine Château Castéra and cranberry juice. Really delicious !
