Our values... we put them into practice!
Our excursions are not classic wine tours. We want to offer you a "slow tourism" approach to the vineyards. This means that :
- Our tours are designed to be conducted at a leisurely pace, without rushing from one place to another. Schedules must be adhered to as we reserve time slots for you, but we give you time to enjoy the places and encounters.
- We have selected châteaux you will be welcomed in, depending on availability, by the winemaker or by experienced guides who can answer all your questions. Our expert guide, who is trilingual in French, English, and Italian, will be on hand to provide additional explanations if necessary.
- Our selection of châteaux made according to three criteria: organic or at least eco-responsible agriculture, family estates, high-quality wines, and a warm welcome.
- We favor châteaux near the city of Bordeaux to reduce the time, cost, and environmental impact of transportation.
- We work with local partners for transportation and food—to each his own job!
