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

Join me to experience a place that is a symbol for quality wines and a synonym for top enology 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. I will take you to the place of the famous 1855 classification, driving among many beautiful estates. I will take you on a visit to 3 chateaus from different Médoc appellations. You will discover the history, vineyards, vat rooms, learn about the winemaking process, and of course, taste wines (2-3 wines) /drink withing one day, but don't worry - your guide and driver will be with you all the time and will drive you safely to all the destinations of the day. We'll also make a stop for lunch in a local restaurant/or chateau
Great day in Bordeaux. We learned more than we thought. She was very knowledgeable and informative. Tasted some great wines and viewed beautiful chateaus.
Malgosia was a wonderful tour guide. She was so knowledgable and took us to some very interesting wineries. We learned so much! Her English was excellent and she was very personable. Highly recommend!
Wow! Her knowledge of wine and the area was exceptional. She picked a great place for us to go to lunch. Everything about our day was wonderful. I highly recommend utilizing her services. I would love to go back and have her take us to other areas to taste wine. Thank you for making our trip memorable.
Even though we knew about the Medoc region coming into the day, we learned so much on our tour! We enjoyed the different chateaux that we visited, ranging from classified to small estates which made for great experiences to compare to one another. Malgosia asked us about our preferences and came up with an amazing tour based on our responses. Would highly recommend Malgosia and the tour!
Malgosia was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide who was willing to create a tour based on your personal taste and interests.
We requested a slightly customized tour of the Medoc and Malgosia exceeded our expectations in every regard. Her knowledge of the region, it's history and producers is exceptional. Furthermore, the relationship's she has developed with the Chateau's was very evident through the way we're were treated. Wonderful experience.
9am: pick up from Bordeaux (possible pick up from different location, extra costs will apply; please contact me before booking the tour) You will visit three classified wine estates from different Médoc appellations, discovering their history, vineyards, vat rooms, learning about winemaking process and tasting wines (2-3 wines); A stop for lunch in a local restaurant (not included in the price).

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.
