May – September are some of the best months to experience Bordeaux. The weather is warmer and the days are longer. July and August bring hotter temperatures, with average highs in the mid-eighties. From August – December, several of the local businesses close and take their annual vacations so there may not be much available to tourists at this time. However, harvest season (August – October) is a great time to tour the wineries, observe the process, and participate in tastings. Events and festivals commonly occur during the Spring and Summer months, such as the Saint-Emilion Jazz Festival, Bordeaux River Festival, and the Libourne Fest’arts Street Art Festival.
