This is your invitation to an exceptional Wine Experience which you will remember forever.

Our wine tours are truly gourmet and select 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 us wine is fun and is to be enjoyed and shared with friends. We love wine and hate snobbery, so there you go.

You'll be the envy of your friends

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...

Join us for the ultimate wine experience in Bordeaux, France!

*Bordeaux Harvest Tour

*The Bordeaux Harvest Tour is like no other Bordeaux wine tour. Get ready for a unique experience: This tour is really without equal as everything in and around Bordeaux just buzzes with action and anticipation. You will visit and taste at First Growths Chateau Mouton Rothschild and Haut Brion! You will even be invited to pick some of the holy grapes yourselves!

Bordeaux, never very open to visitors, closes like an oyster at harvest time.

Fortunately we can get you into chateaux that usually keep their gates firmly locked to visitors, especially during the harvest.

And there is more! This Harvest Tour includes a dinner at a Michelin rated Relais & Chateaux Restaurant with its unique view of Bordeaux. This Michelin rated chef will prepare a very special meal for you. The restaurant is surrounded by its own vineyards.

And that's not all: Of course you will wander around in the UNESCO World Heritage Site: Saint Emilion and will learn about the special way the sweet wines of Sauternes are produced.

Indulge in gourmet meals and a unique picker’s lunch at a Grand Cru Classé Chateau. Be welcomed in tasting rooms of Classified Growth Chateaux and in our privately owned Château Coulon Laurensac. All estates visited on this tour are Classified Growths.

Your Bordeaux Wine Experience includes:

• All inclusive, 6 days and five nights
• Grand Tour of Bordeaux: includes visits to the top chateaux like Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux and Haut Brion
• Meals in no less than three Michelin starred restaurants and in Bordeaux Chateaux
