Hello, My name is Malgosia. Originally from Poland, having spent 9 years in the US (New York City) I ended up in the world wine capital some 15 years ago. When I graduated from a law school in my native country never had I thought I'd completely change my career paths and become a certified sommelier with a diploma obtained from the reputable CAFA wine school in Bordeaux. Together with my husband we work in the wine industry. I am also a former wine boutique owner which was located in the heart of Bordeaux, and presently run my company "Private Wine Tours Bordeaux" which organizes private, bespoke tours in the Bordeaux region to appellations like Médoc, Saint Emilion, Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Sauternes et. al. But that's not all: I will be happy to take you to Cognac or organize a trip to the Arcachon Bay with a picnic on the famous Pyla Dune. I love sharing my passion for wine and history and meeting travelers from all over the world. The fact that I come from a very different background and did not grow up surrounded by wines gives me a better understanding of my clients, who most of the time visit Bordeaux for the first time and have very little or no knowledge of this region. I always encourage them to ask me questions during their learning process. I often notice how they become less and less intimidated and more and more open to very interesting conversations. I am one of very few independent guides in the region who work with very small, thus intimate groups (only 2-4 ppl) driving my new SUV (the required transportation license as well as professional insurance up-to-date). The presented programs are just suggestions of some of my tours. I will be happy to personalize each of them for you according to your individual wishes. Being a mom of a young boy my schedule changes sometimes. That is why I'd appreciate you contacting me in advance before booking a tour to confirm my availability. Looking forward to meeting you on one or more of my tours! certified sommelier former wine boutique owner organizing wine tours for over 8 years required transportation license up-to-date/required insurance up-to-date none

Overview of your Bordeaux tour

My private wine tours feature visits to world's famous Saint Emilion vineyard in a very cozy and friendly atmosphere. I offer my tours to very small, thus intimate groups of only up to 4 people! I will guide you throughout this trip by giving you lots of interesting information that will help you understand the region and its wines. During this tour you will visit three chateaus from the Saint Emilion classification, including its latest update from 2022. If you prefer, the itinerary can include a mix of classified and non-classified, family estates. Please let me know. In between the visits we'll take a little walk in the very picturesque medieval town of Saint Emilion (UNESCO World Heritage Site) discovering its history and main monuments. You will also have a chance to sample Saint Emilion's sweet speciality - the delicious macarons. Of course there will be time for lunch.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Suv

I will drive you around in a modern, comfortable and air-conditioned Nissan Qashqai (2020) that can fit up to 4 passengers. Having 3 passengers in the back means little space but throughout the years I've been driving it nobody has yet complained about any discomfort.

What's included
Other: As I always try to pick up my clients directly from their hotels, some areas in the city are more difficult to get to by car so sometimes I need to find a convenient area where I can meet them. I will always let you know about the exact meeting location at least a day before the tour.
