First Growth Chateau Mouton Rothschild

Our tours are different because we see things different: Let me take a minute to tell you how I see things. I know that the wine world can be a bit pretentious and elitist at times and Bordeaux is no exception. Don't worry, I have a more down to earth approach. With us you'll taste, learn and enjoy in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Leave your tuxedo, suits and ties at home! A wine tour is a vacation and you are on vacation to have fun! With us you'll visit the good stuff, the best Grand Cru Chateaux but without the snobbery.

First Growth Chateau Margaux

Our wine tours are truly gourmet and wine experiences, but they are certainly not stuffy. Sure, you will dine at Michelin starred restaurants, but we don’t chase stars. We’ll take you to the good ones, not the stuffy ones. No impressive, formal restaurants where eating sometimes turns into an exam! We prefer the more contemporary "younger" ones. Forget the snobbery that is the enemy of true wine and food lovers. For me wine is fun and is to be enjoyed and shared with friends. I love wine and hate snobbery, so there you go.

All your wine friends will envy you because you'll have been there and tasted those legendary First Growths. You’ll taste the latest vintage right from the barrel or savor older vintages. You will get to know the major appellations of Bordeaux and taste the best of the bunch. Don’t worry if some of this is new to you. We are not snobbish at all. All the opposite, we love to uncork a passion for Bordeaux and its wines.

You'll stay at a privately owned Chateau. Be our guest at our 18th century Chateau Coulon Laurensac. It just doesn't get more personal than that.

Combine the best of old world charm with all modern comfort. Our chateau is Michelin rated and you'll have all the comfort and luxury you need, but you won't pay for facilities you are not going to use. This is one of the reasons why our prices are so competitive. We think you'd be better off spending that part of your budget on wine...

Your personal Invitation to create memories for a lifetime…

Now that you have survived my introduction and I invite you to have a look at those wine tours we offer. By now you must have understood that they're not just wine tours. This is an invitation to an exceptional Wine Experience which you will remember forever.

I hope you'll join us so I can share those great bottles of wine with you!
