Viticulture: Bordeaux (EN)

With Viticulture: Bordeaux, venture beyond Italy to the renowned wine region of Bordeaux through a fully redesigned alternative board. This expansion introduces four complete worker placement seasons, offering smoother pacing and stronger early momentum, especially at higher player counts.

The standout feature is the new “expert” action, allowing you to permanently upgrade an action for your vineyard. This strengthens your engine building and creates meaningful long-term specialization. The trade market and face-up Vine and Wine Order cards provide greater agency and reduce randomness.

At the end of the game, excess grapes, wine, and coins convert into victory points, rewarding efficient resource management and full engagement in the winemaking process. The result is a deeper, more refined experience worthy of a true expert board game.

Viticulture: Bordeaux is for you if you enjoy strategic decisions, increased card control, and a more deliberate approach to vineyard development. It enhances strategic planning without complicating the core system.

Fun fact: The reverse side of the Bordeaux board is the original Viticulture board, allowing it to permanently replace the base board in your box without taking extra storage space.

Designed by Jamey Stegmaier, creator of Scythe and Tapestry, and illustrated by Sylvain Leroy, this expansion deepens the Viticulture system while preserving its elegant design.
