Bonjour! My name is Caroline. I was born and raised in the north of France, between Paris and Normandy. Then I moved to study in Nancy, north-west. I discovered vineyards and wine by doing the harvest in Champagne when I was a student. I really enjoyed this environment and atmosphere and that is why I arrived in Bordeaux in 2015! First, it was only for a two-week stay to pick up the grapes in Saint-Emilion. I finally fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Having passed a Bachelor in English Language and Culture + Cultural Tourism, I found a job as a tour guide in Saint-Emilion the year after. I worked there for 3 years, and kept discovering a lot about the area and wines. Then I decided to become an official tour guide, passed the degree to get the license, and settled closer to Bordeaux city. Now, I live just outside of Bordeaux, between the city centre and the closest vineyards of Pessac-Léognan. I enjoy being able to cycle to the historic and dynamic city centre and enjoy the surrounding nature at the same time. I am passionate about gastronomy and wine, but also about history, cinema, literature and sports. I would be more than happy to take you on one of my food, historic or wine tours in or around Bordeaux. I guide in English and French and try to work on my Spanish skills. I can do walking and bike tours in town, with or without tastings, and also wine tours all around Bordeaux (it is also possible to meet directly in the vineyards or in Saint-Emilion). Feel free to reach out to me for more details or to set up a tailor-made tour. Licensed Tour Guide WSET 3 For my tours I have no restrictions

Private excursion to the picturesque Saint-Emilion.
Overview of your Bordeaux tour
What would be a trip to Bordeaux without an excursion in the vineyards? Follow me on an entire day private wine tour to the picturesque medieval town of Saint-Emilion to find out more about its history and wines. After meeting in Bordeaux city centre or at your hotel we will drive to the eastern part of the region, to discover the Saint-Emilion area. On the way, I will tell you about the Bordeaux wine system and history. First stop will be at a winery where the local guide will show you the facilities and tell you more about the wine making process, before offering you a tasting of their wines. Then we will head to Saint-Emilion, where I will guide you around the narrow and hilly streets and take you to some of its highlights. You will also get a chance to taste the local sweet speciality: the traditional macarons! That will be the perfect time and place for lunch. In town, you can choose between another tasting and visiting the Underground Church.
Your Bordeaux tour itinerary
After meeting in Bordeaux we will drive about 50 minutes to the Saint-Emilion area. We will first stop in a winery for a visit and tasting. Then we will have a short drive to go to Saint-Emilion where I will guide you around to discover its main buildings as the Collegiate Church, Cordeliers cloister, monolithic Church or the King's Tower. Possible stop to eat local macarons. There, you will be able to enjoy a lunch (snack or restaurant, different options possible). Then, you can choose between another wine tasting in town or visiting the Underground Church. After that, we will drive back to Bordeaux (50 min approximately). Please note that this organisation may vary depending on the wineries' availabilities. The tour can be adapted on request. Don't hesitate to reach me out to arrange details.
