A Personal Note From Michael,
|
|
|
The new year is already unfolding here in Bordeaux, and with it comes something I’ve been carefully crafting behind the scenes.
Something I can’t wait to finally share.
Today, I’m delighted to officially unveil our 2027 Bordeaux Wine Experiences.
I’m also excited to share a few special changes we’re introducing for 2026 and beyond.
These journeys have been carefully refined. Not to make them bigger, but to make them richer and more immersive.
More personal. More connected. More deeply rooted in the people, places, and moments that make Bordeaux truly extraordinary.
Every detail is considered. Every moment is designed to be intentional, unhurried, and unforgettable.

Our Philosophy is Simple
We open doors that few ever enter, and reveal Bordeaux through its people, its history, and its wines, for moments that stick with you long after the bottle is empty.
Designed for those who value experience over the ordinary, conversation over crowds, and the rare privilege of being welcomed behind doors seldom opened.
This is not a tour. It’s an immersion. Shared with a small circle of like-minded guests.
Let me share a few of the special moments and exciting changes we’re introducing for both 2026 and 2027.
Last Call for 2026
Only a handful of spaces remain for 2026. Once these are filled, this year’s experiences will be fully closed.

The Cast of Bordeaux
Wine is the starting point. Wine is your all-access pass to every door and every conversation in Bordeaux.
Follow the wine, and you meet the people.
The chefs, the owners, the winemakers (and all the others). These are the characters who make Bordeaux… Bordeaux.
Celebrity chefs who light up the kitchen with fun, laughter, and their opinions about butter.
Chateau owners with stories as entertaining as their endearing accents.
And winemakers. The incredible winemakers whose curiosity and creativity lead to wines that can define generations.
These are the characters you’ll meet. The personalities that will help shape our moments together.
Starting in 2026, we’re leaning into these encounters more than ever.
From visits and tastings to lunches and dinners, let’s go backstage and have some fun with this cast of characters.

Grand Cru Classé Expanded
Our visits to Grand Cru Classé chateaux have been expanded. More wine, more conversations, and more moments that simply can’t be booked anywhere else.
An Underground Wine Society
And our restaurant lineup has been elevated, too. Including a private night inside an ultra-exclusive underground wine society.
Reserved for collectors and insiders, it’s intimate, extraordinary, and quietly unforgettable.
More than a Wine Tour
Every program is intentionally small, deeply personal, and designed for those who want more than tastings.
