Hello, My name is Berit and I'm an experienced and passionate wine guide. I would be absolutely thrilled to share some of the highlights of my amazing region and help bringing the somewhat complicated Bordeaux wine industry "down to earth" so that, when you leave Bordeaux, you'll know which of the Bordeaux districts to look out for. Find out what it is that YOU like. And in the process, visit some of our beautiful, historical chateaux. . . In 2000, my family and I moved from Paris to Bordeaux, right in the core of the famous wine district. I started my time in Bordeaux as an English teacher in Public Education, which reflects my natural inclination for adapting and sharing knowledge. Meanwhile, most of my free time was spent on wine school and tastings! What an adventure! Wine very quickly became my passion. I knew that I had to work with wine - one way or another. I soon got a job in one of the prestigious wineries in Bordeaux and loved it from day one. Best job ever! There's so much going on in the local wine region, and I found the need to work in several chateaux before I felt like a Bordeaux wine expert. This experience lead to my current inspiring job as a local wine guide, that allows me to combine a number of my favourite things: communication, encounters, languages, wine. . . Nothing is more rewarding than to offer my clients an unforgettable and personal experience in Bordeaux. All you need is to give me your priorities and wishes before I start planning. EVERY tour is tailor-made. I'm really looking forward to hearing from you… - Wine and Spirit Education Trust - WSET 3 - Ecole du Vin, CIVB (Bordeaux Wine School): practical and technical certificates - First Aid Certificate (Red Cross) - Business and Life Coach, Mediation (Paris) I am a wine guide. Although I know a lot about local history, I will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments with in-depth knowledge.

Day Trip from Bordeaux City: Visit Europe's Biggest Sand Dune and Taste Oysters
Overview of your Bordeaux tour
When in the area of Bordeaux, you should definitely take the opportunity to climb the largest sand dune in Europe: la Dune du Pilat. It's a unique site with beautiful colours: the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Landes Forest on the other, and only an hour's drive away from the city of Bordeaux. You don't want to miss the Arcachon Bay with its many oyster farms. A few hours before noon, the oysters are collected in the bay and are sailed into the tasting huts. Taste the oysters on site; it doesn't get much fresher than that. ;) A stroll around the town of Arcachon is just lovely. La Ville d'Eté is the beach area. La Ville d'Hiver on the hill side is the 100-year-old part of the village with its many quintessential houses, decorated with delicate wood tracery. You can take the public art-deco lift to go from one area to the other. This tour is a relaxed day where you connect with nature and live life as a French person would (on weekends and holidays). ;)
