Chateau Kirwan is a lovely setting but this rating is for Viking River Cruises, who catered the whole meal and did everything. I think the company probably rented this lovely facility. It was about of 45-minute bus ride from Bordeaux, all through incredibly beautiful countryside. This fulfills everything you imagined the French countryside to be.
The first course was a nice lobster bisque which was not as thick or creamy as I have had before but it was delicious. The second course was three little pieces of terrine (duck and campagne) which were also quite tasty. The main course was filet of beef, which was quite good although I am not a big beef eater. The dessert was a very tasty little cake of cherries and cranberry. The portion sizes were perfect and two nice Bordeaux wines were served.
Viking Cruises are not cheap but they surely do deliver unbelievable service. It is amazing how much emotional labor the staff delivers to guests and this dinner at Chateaux Kirwan was no exception. If you have a chance to go here, take that chance.
