The landscape of Entre-Deux-Mers (literally "between two seas") – so called because it's sandwiched between the tidal waters of the Dordogne and Garonne – is the prettiest of the Bordeaux wine regions, with its gentle hills and scattered medieval villages. Its wines, including the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, are mainly dry whites produced by over forty caves coopératives, and are regarded as good but inferior to the Médocs or super-dry Graves to the south. It's also a region which can be explored, at least in part, by public transport, should you feel like avoiding the tourist office tour.
