“Without a doubt the best Bordeaux Wine Tours you can find”
Bonjour Wine Lover,
| A Bordeaux Wine Experience and not “simply” a Bordeaux wine tour! Just imagine visiting Bordeaux with an insider and actually seeing and tasting the world’s most famous chateaux, like Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild or Latour. Picture yourself at the oldest of the First Growth Haut Brion, seeing their cooper at work, or admiring the palace-style of Chateau Margaux. Imagine sipping a well-aged Yquem of over 20 years old in our Chateau’s private dining room. Every wine lover in the world would like to visit these places but they are not easy to get in to, as Bordeaux doesn’t offer open tasting rooms. Allow me to open these doors (and bottles) that usually stay closed for outsiders. I will guide you through the entire experience like an insider! First Growths Each of our Bordeaux Wine Tour includes tasting the iconic five First-Growths, along with château-accommodation and exclusive meals in venues not open to the public. In short, a real Bordeaux wine and culinary experience. The best way to experience Bordeaux is through local people, local foods and local wines.You’ll learn about Bordeaux wines in a fun, down-to-earth and friendly atmosphere with like-minded wine lovers! |
Indulge yourself !
Let us turn your wine tour into a Bordeaux Wine Experience!

Our Bordeaux Wine Tour is different because we see things differently: Let me take a minute to tell you how in what way. 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 down to earth approach. Leave your tuxedo, suits and ties at home! A Bordeaux 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. For me wine is fun and is to be enjoyed and shared with friends. I love wine and hate snobbery, so there you go.
Make your dream come true
Even exceptional wines are fun and are to be enjoyed and shared with friends”
Imagine yourself tasting all five of the iconic First Growths—Château Latour, Lafite Rothschild, Mouton-Rothschild, Haut-Brion and Margaux plus the legendary Yquem. You’ll 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, I love to uncork a passion for Bordeaux and its wines.
Stay at our 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 was 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 rates 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
Ronald and Margaret love to welcome you at their Bordeaux Chateau
Now that you have survived my introduction, I invite you to have a look at those Bordeaux Wine Tours we offer. By now you must have understood that they’re not just Bordeaux wine tours. This is an invitation to an exceptional Bordeaux Wine Experience that you will remember forever. Don’t wait too long as our tours tend to sell out early.
I hope you’ll join me on a Bordeaux Wine Tour, so I can share my passion and those great bottles with you!
