Resort description
The Les Sources de Caudalie 5* resort is located in the municipality of Martillac, 15 km south of Bordeaux, on the territory of the famous Château Smith Haut Lafitte vineyards. The Bordeaux region has an oceanic climate, with an average annual temperature of around 14°C, without sharp seasonal fluctuations. The vineyards are surrounded by coniferous forests, the air of which is rich in phytoncides. This has a beneficial effect on patients with sleep disorders, chronic stress and reduced immunity.
The wellness concept of the Les Sources de Caudalie 5* resort is based on the method of “vinotherapy” — the topical application of grape-derived products. The basis of the cosmetic formulas is grape seed extract. The antioxidant compounds it contains reduce inflammatory activity in tissues, support collagen synthesis and slow down age-related skin changes. Another important component of the therapy is thermal water, which is supplied from a natural spring located at a depth of 540 meters. It is used in wellness baths combined with grape extracts, which enhances the remineralizing and relaxing effects of the procedures.
The resort is recommended for patients with chronic fatigue, muscle tension, sleep disorders, stress conditions and age-related skin changes. Programs are tailored to a specific goal: relaxation, tone restoration or anti-aging care.

Frequently asked questions
Les Sources de Caudalie 5* and the Vinothérapie Spa Caudalie wellness center operate year-round. The time of stay at the resort may depend more on the purpose of the trip. For walks through the vineyards, it is better to come in spring and summer; in autumn — for procedures using fresh produce; in winter — for relaxation and quiet recovery.
At the heart of all wellness protocols at the medical center is the grapevine. Instead of thalasso procedures — grape marc baths; instead of mud wraps — wraps with grape essences; instead of a standard massage — hot grape seed oil massage. This is antioxidant therapy.
Grape marc is the skins, seeds and remaining pulp left after pressing grapes. In a warm bath, these particles release powerful antioxidants to the skin for deep hydration, reducing swelling and slowing down oxidative processes in cells.
Classic tasting teaches you to distinguish aromas and evaluate taste. Enotherapy uses wine as a wellness tool. This includes procedures using grape extracts, gourmet dinners with wine selection tailored to the body’s condition, and walks through the vineyards.
Yes. The wellness procedures use not the wine itself, but the marc and seeds, which contain no ethanol. All treatments are non-alcoholic in essence. The gastronomic part is also flexible: alcohol can always be replaced with a non-alcoholic accompaniment or simply declined.
Yes, individual procedures and day visits to Vinothérapie Spa Caudalie are available to patients without accommodation. To check availability for treatments, it is recommended to contact the wellness center in advance.
