Off the beaten path
If you’re looking for an authentic experience, this guided tour is for you. While all my wine tours are personal and bespoke, this rather unusual Bordeaux tour takes authenticity, exploration, personal encounters, affinity, and good value to the next level.
I’ll set up a tour that takes you to Bordeaux’s undiscovered treasures:
Vineyards located in uncharted wine appellations,
Authentic family-owned estates where you’ll meet the owner for a one-of-a-kind personal experience,
Tastings of delicious yet good value wines from producers that you’re not likely to find on the export market…
Moreover, if you’re looking for high-quality wines that are simply produced with extra care and attention, this off the beaten path tour can easily include an in-depth exploration of sustainable, organic, and biodynamic methods.
Throughout this private off-the-beaten-path adventure, you’ll be introduced to the otherwise tightly knit world of wine in Bordeaux. You can simply lean back and enjoy the beautiful scenery, the enchanting architecture, learn about the secrets behind the terroirs and winemaking in chateaux that I have carefully pre-selected. And, of course, feel free to ask questions all day long. It’s your special day!
Let’s combine your expectations with my expertise and set up the perfect vineyard experience off the beaten track. The below itinerary is an example of what we can do on a full day tour:
