Guests were accommodated at the five-star spa and hotel Les Sources de Caudalie, situated on the vineyards' property. The 64-room luxury property was reportedly reserved exclusively for several days.
Throughout the multi-day celebration, attendees embarked on excursions to some of Bordeaux's renowned winemaking estates. The group indulged in fine and rare wines at Chateau Yquem and Cheval Blanc, both owned by luxury house LMVH, which acquired 50% of JAY-Z's champagne house Arnaud de Brignac in 2021. A special tasting at Château Pétrus featured bottles from the 1969 vintage, commemorating JAY-Z's birth year.
Notably, the Roc Nation co-founder reportedly travelled on the Venice Simplon Orient Express, owned by the Belmond group based in London.
