| Let me turn your Wine Tour into a Bordeaux Wine Experience! |
On our tours you tour with me and it's my mission to make this wonderful world of Bordeaux and its wines accessible to all levels of wine lovers. I have over 20 years experience in tasting and touring Bordeaux, so I know my way around. And I love sharing my acquired knowledge and my sense of humor with you on our tours. And my cellar of course... That's why with me, you'll taste more Classified Growths than on any other Bordeaux wine tour! For me touring with you is not a job, it's a passion! |
| Taste, learn and enjoy in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere |
|
You'll be the envy of your friends
|
You'll stay at a privately owned Chateau
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... |

The Bordeaux Harvest Tour: Tour Description
Your Tour host and Bordeaux Wine Expert: Ronald Rens, M. Sc., Wine Master
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! This unparalleled wine tour will include a real pickers lunch at a Classified Growth Chateau. You will even be invited to pick some of the holy grapes yourselves! Luckily you’ll harvest just for a short while because, as romantic as it may sound, it is backbreaking tiresome work.

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 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 that sweet wines of Sauternes are produced.
Indulge in gourmet meals and a unique pickers 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.
Wine tours for wine lovers...
Most people that come on our tours are wine lovers, people who have an appreciation of wine. Usually this is their first trip to the Bordeaux region. Most of our guests want to learn more about wine and wine tasting. And what better place to start than in Bordeaux, the world’s most famous wine region. Why not discover these "old world gems" in an informal and relaxed atmosphere?
It is true: Bordeaux and its wines can seem a bit intimidating at first. This tour will guide you through all this. Remember: we tour prestigious estates, not pretentious people.
You’ll develop a preference for “Left Bank”or “Right Bank”, while visiting some of the best chateaux in the world. Our tours are both entertaining and informative; we prefer a down-to-earth approach without the snobbery that is the enemy of true wine lovers.
Chateau Coulon Laurensac |
Accommodation
During your tour with the Bordeaux Wine Experience you’ll stay at the beautiful Château Coulon Laurensac.
On the riverbanks of the Garonne River, just outside Bordeaux this enchanting Château (built in 1790!) is the perfect starting point for tours in all the famous wine regions of the Bordeaux area.
