Guest Testimonials
“Our Bordeaux Wine Vacation experience ended up being the highlight of our four weeks in France. As committed Francophiles, we’ve had many wonderful visits to our favorite country and have been a part of various tours, group excursions as well as solo adventures. The week spent in Bordeaux and the experiences made possible through Bordeaux Wine Vacations exceeded any and all expectations we had. The wineries we visited all had a unique approach to their winemaking process, so the tours were always fresh. We enjoyed them all, but there were some magical moments, Chateau d’Yquem and Chateau George 7 come to mind.
We would not hesitate to book another tour with Andrew and Daniel for our next visit to Bordeaux. We highly recommend Bordeaux Wine Vacations to anyone considering a wine immersion visit to the Bordeaux region of France.”

“We had an amazing time in Bordeaux. The entire week from start to finish exceeded all of our expectations. It was the first time we had someone plan our itinerary and both Patty and I were so happy with the result. It took out all the guess work and stress of the planning stages.
Your support and assistance during the planning process was exceptional. It was great having and knowing that you were always there to assist us. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone. If we are ever traveling this way again, you can be sure we will reach out. Mille fois Merci!”
Patty & Stéphane (2024)
“My wife Candace and I have done a fair bit of traveling in our four decades of marriage, and we both agree that our time with Bordeaux Wine Vacations ranks quite highly. I did not imagine in my wildest dreams that the chateaux we visited would be so stunningly beautiful, nor that we would be so incredibly spoiled and coddled by Andrew and Dan.
We have already recommended BORDEAUX WINE VACATIONS to a number of our friends, and we will continue to do so at every opportunity. Merci mille fois, Andrew & Dan!!”
Candace & Larry (2022)
“The city of Bordeaux was everything we thought it would be and more. The best part was Bordeaux Wine Vacations. We got to see and experience many sites that we would not have known about had we been on our own. Our guide, Andrew, was quite knowledgeable and fun to be with. Two thumbs up!”
Angela & Brian (2019)
“From my first contact with Daniel last year to Andrew’s smoothing our way through the airport at our departure, everything far exceeded anything we could have imagined.
It was so much fun; we learned so much and have so many fabulous memories. And your care and concern for us allowed us to truly be present and immersed in every day’s experiences. You made this one of the highlights of our lives. We feel that Andrew has become part of the family.”
Bob & Carolyn (2023)
“We had an amazing time. We learned so much and had fun exploring Bordeaux. Andrew and Daniel handled everything and were very informative. They even surprised us with a trip to a caviar farm!”
Amanda & Tim (2022)
“Our trip with Daniel and Bordeaux Wine Vacations has been nothing short of enchanting. Every moment was curated with precision and warmth. Bordeaux was made all the more memorable with their insights and surprises along the way. Recommending them would be an understatement. A heartfelt thank you to Bordeaux Wine Vacations for making our trip an unforgettable adventure!”
