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.

Overview of your Bordeaux tour

The Medoc wine district produces red wines exclusively. We are talking majority Cabernet Sauvignon blends with exceptional ageing potential. The Route of the Chateaux runs through the 60 legendary "Grand Cru Classé Chateaux" (Great Classified Growth since 1855). Prestige and history lovers are spoilt for choice here. But you needn't go for prestige chateaux only. Some of the smaller estates are extremely interesting to visit, their wines are good value for money and you're received more like a friend, with a different level of implication. It's fascinating to compare the two! Throughout the day, you will be introduced to the otherwise tightly-knit world of wine in Bordeaux. You can simply lean back and enjoy the beautiful scenery, the enchanting architecture, learn about the secrets behind the terroirs and winemaking in chateaux that I have carefully pre-selected. And, of course, you can ask me questions… all day long. I've worked four years in a great Médoc chateau: lots of insider information for you!

Berit was amazing! From start to finish she picked us up, drove us around a carefully curated selection of vineyards, and dropped us off- we did not have to worry about or plan anything. She was a fantastic communicator, extremely knowledgeable about both Bordeaux and wine, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. It's no wonder after spending the day with her that she was a trailblazer in wine tourism in Bordeaux. We will definitely contact Berit next time we are in Bordeaux and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great wine tour experience - regardless of whether you are currently very knowledgeable, or looking to begin your wine journey, Berit will enhance your experience and plan a great day for you.

Wonderful experience, and our guide Berit made everything to get the best out of our one day tour in Medoc, managing for us to enjoy 4 tastings all over the region and a wonderful lunch right in the heart of Medoc.

Berit provided the most informative and enjoyable tour we have EVER been on! Her knowledge about Bordeaux, its history and wine was superb! She explained things in such detail in a way we all understood. All 4 of us learned so much from her during our afternoon tour. Her English was outstanding. (Hard to believe she didn’t grow up in the US!) It was obvious she had such a good relationship with the wineries we visited. They were all very welcoming to us and knowledgeable. We will definitely be recommending Berit to our friends and family who may be traveling to Bordeaux. Thank you!

The Medoc tour by Berit was a wonderful way to experience Bordeaux. Great detailed background knowledge of the whole area and the Chateaux visits were very personal with an interesting range of properties and wines that were both enjoyable and informative - a great experience for those with a casual knowledge as well as wine enthusiasts. Highly recommended!
