Full Day Shore Excursion to Pessac-Léognan & Sauternes

Hi, my name is Paul. Born in Alsace, I started my professional life in the luxury hotel industry in northern Europe, where I met the biggest international stars in the 90’s. Arriving at Sauternes & Barsac in 1997, I discovered the world of wine while I worked in commerce as an accountant, trader & wine seller. I also worked a lot in the Wine Trade Union which made me meet the vast majority of Bordeaux wine worlds’ actors. I live in a house surrounded by vineyards in Sauternes, between small family estates. Graduated in tourism and wine trade, I open doors for travellers, which are usually closed to most people, thanks to my acquaintances network. It is always a great pleasure to welcome people from far away to discover my region and do everything in my power to commemorate a unique moment. Curious and enthusiastic, I love to exchange with people and share the incredible universe surrounding me. My first experiences sharing it were at the request of my friends. From there, my desire to become a guide was born. To seek, to find and provide joy. My approach is simple and friendly, based on meeting people in and around the wine world. Venture into it with me to also meet these passionate experts in vineyards, cellars and even culinary venues to share private and unique moments together! I consider myself a great epicurean in the sense that I take advantage of every single day to live my passions around friends, wine and music (I am a drummer in 2 pop & rock cover bands)! I'll put all my energy to adapt my tours to your desires. Besides the inherent joy in living my passion, my reward is the return of my guests saying that they loved my proposals. I even stay in touch with most of them, which is great reaffirmation to my way of working. All my tours are private, unique and customizable. Just come over, I’ll take care of everything!
