Les Sources de Caudalie is a luxury wine resort located beside the renowned Château Smith Haut Lafitte estate in Bordeaux. The property combines vineyard villas, Michelin-starred dining, and the famous Vinothérapie® spa concept inspired by grape extracts.
The vineyard villa is the most private retreat on the estate — a standalone residence set directly among the vines, with a dedicated private spa, plunge pool and panoramic views across the Pessac-Léognan landscape. The interiors blend rustic Bordelaise character with contemporary comfort, connecting guests to the rhythms of the working vineyard just beyond the terrace.
The Vinothérapie® spa — pioneered at Caudalie and since recognised internationally — offers treatments derived from the polyphenols and antioxidants of Bordeaux's grape harvest. Signature experiences include the Barrel Bath, Cabernet Crushed Body Scrub and the Crushed Cabernet Sauvignon massages that have made this one of the most celebrated wellness destinations in France.
Beyond the estate, Les Sources de Caudalie unlocks access to one of France's greatest wine regions. The Médoc Grand Cru wine route, the legendary châteaux of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, and the private cellars of Château Smith Haut Lafitte itself are all within reach of a dedicated wine concierge team with relationships built over decades in the Bordelaise wine community.

La Grand'Vigne is Les Sources de Caudalie's signature Michelin-starred restaurant — a dining room that celebrates the extraordinary union of Bordeaux terroir and contemporary French culinary artistry. Chef Nicolas Masse's seasonal menus draw on the estate's organic kitchen garden, regional artisan producers and the legendary wine list anchored by Château Smith Haut Lafitte and the great estates of Pessac-Léognan.
The wine programme at La Grand'Vigne is one of the most celebrated in France. The cellar holds an extraordinary collection of Bordeaux vintages spanning multiple decades, curated by a team of dedicated sommeliers who lead private tastings and vertical experiences through the estate's own production. Dinner here is a masterclass in Bordeaux's vinous heritage.
Beyond La Grand'Vigne, the estate's Rouge restaurant and the intimate Table du Lavoir offer more relaxed dining in vineyard settings. Private dinners can be arranged directly in the Château Smith Haut Lafitte cellar — a unique experience amidst barrels of ageing Grand Cru Bordeaux, with menus paired to the estate's finest current releases.
