Bonjour!
We're Your Local Tour GuidesExpats In Bordeaux, Your Personal Tour Guides, Roll Out The Red Carpet
Bordeaux Wine Vacations was created by expats who fell in love with this region while living in Bordeaux and quickly became fascinated by the South West of France and discovering the very best that this incredible region has to offer; the sights, the history, the vineyards, the food, and of course, the world-class wines.
After many years of showing our friends and family our favorite estates and new discoveries, we’ve come to specialize in creating five-star wine tour programs, exploring the best of Bordeaux and the breathtaking wine region.
Using our local knowledge and travel planning expertise, we create custom itineraries to suit your preferences and guide small groups of friends and family to unforgettable locations.
More About Us
We are English-speaking ex-pats who came to France and settled in Bordeaux. We quickly fell in love with the city, the people, the region, and, naturally – the wine, so much that we first created a free tourist guide (Le Map Bordeaux) with facts and tips that would allow visitors to experience the city like a local, to help others fall head over heels for the city that captured our heart.
We are not a travel agency with a large team and distant staff members. We are simply down-to-earth wine-lovers who want to roll out the red carpet for you in Bordeaux.
Passionate About Bordeaux & Wine
We created Bordeaux Wine Vacations for the sole purpose of sharing our two favorite things about living in Bordeaux: the breathtaking city and the world-famous wines and regions that surround it.
We make it easy and fun to experience beautiful Bordeaux, and take the hassle and stress out of traveling to France.
Contact us today to hear more about visiting one of the most amazing cities in the world!
