The most conscientious, thoughtful, fun, and knowledgeable guide who truly listens to what you want.
We had the most AMAZING experience with Audrey. She listened to what we wanted (in our case, about Greening Bordeaux) and created a custom-made tour full of specific places, people to talk to, planted areas, buildings, history⊠more than we could ever have expected. We canât wait to go on a wine tour with her! She is conscientious, knowledgeable, caring, and such a lovely person to be around. We feel so lucky to have had her as our guide and to have gotten to know her as a person. We couldnât recommend her more highly!!

Amazing personalized wine tourâoff the beaten path
Before traveling to Bordeaux, I did a lot of research on the best ways to visit the wineries and chĂąteaux. Driving myself wasnât an option, and I definitely didnât want to join large tour groups or visit the big, touristy wineries. At first, a private guide seemed out of my price rangeâbut then I discovered Audrey and her company, Les Voyages du vin. What an absolute gemâI canât recommend her highly enough! She listened carefully to my requirements and proposed an itinerary that was spot-on. We started Day 1 by spending about 2â3 hours walking around Bordeaux, learning about the history of wine in this beautiful city, and finished with a wine tasting to introduce us to a number of appellations and set the stage for the next two days. Laurie was our chauffeur for the next two days, and she is another gem I cannot recommend highly enough. A spotless car (Tesla) and every need taken care of. Day 2 consisted of a full day on the left bank, where Audrey introduced us to four wineries/chĂąteauxâeach carefully chosen with an emphasis on biodynamic/organic farming, authentic small-scale family ownership, and most of them dating back to the Middle Ages. The wines were outstanding and the chĂąteaux absolutely delightful (think an ancient chĂąteau hidden in a forest with horses grazing as you enter; or a chĂąteau that has been passed down from mother to daughter since the 1500s and is still in the same family today). We hardly encountered any other tourists and were never rushed. We had a wonderful picnic at one of the chĂąteaux for lunch. Day 3 shifted to the right bank for the full day and was just as good as Day 2. We visited three wine estates/chĂąteaux plus St. Ămilion for a short guided tour. Day 2 also included two very specific personal requests, and Audrey went out of her way to make them happen. It was an absolutely perfect end to the day, and we couldnât have asked for more. For anyone interested in learning more about wine, who cares about sustainable farming, and wants to explore authentic, delightful wineries off the beaten pathâAudrey is your go-to person!!

A couple of wonderful tours in Bordeaux
We were in Bordeaux as part of a cruise, and a friend of ours in the wine industry suggested that we contact Audrey at Les Voyages du Vin arrange tours of the area. We first took a half-day tour with her that included a visit to a winery in Pessac-Leognan, followed by a tour of Bordeauxâs historic city center. Both were great experiences. We tasted some excellent wine in Pessac-Leognan and learned a lot about the region and its wines. The tour of Bordeaux was also great, focusing on the townâs history (which is fascinating) and ending with a wine tasting at a local restaurant. Audrey then recommended an excellent place for dinner. The next morning, we headed out to St. Emilion. We first stopped for a tour of a winery that included wine tasting and an excellent lunch next to the vineyard. We then went to the town of St. Emilion, where Audrey told us about the areaâs history. We visited a winery there for a tour that included a walk through the subterranean limestone caves carved into the area over many years, concluding with another wine tasting. Both of these days were unforgettable. Audrey did a phenomenal job organizing the tours and tastings, selecting wonderful wineries we never would have found on our own. Her knowledge of the areaâs history and winemaking practices is extensive. Finally, she is engaging and a lot of fun to be around. We absolutely recommend her tours of Bordeaux and hope that she can help us with tours in other regions she covers, including Corsica and Italy. If youâre in this area and have any interest in wine, do your best to book a tour with her.
