Bonjour! Welcome to Bordeaux ! My name is Julie, and I was born and raised in the countryside of Bordeaux, surrounded by vineyards. I moved to Paris right after graduation to work as a licensed tour guide for some of the most emblematic French monuments and sites (the Loire Valley castles, Louvre Museum, Normandy, and more!). It was an enriching experience ! When I came back to Bordeaux, I decided to specialize in wine (how could I not), and I'm now a full-time guide, who provides private wine and History tours with my minivan in the Bordeaux region, but also other areas such as the Dordogne, french Basque Country or the Arcachon Bay. I've always worked in tourism and I am a curious person, so I keep learning every day. Thanks to my experiences in various French regions, I will be able to adapt to your interests and customize THE tour you need. I am a very attentive person and I really want you to enjoy your time here. So do not hesitate to ask me for advice! I'm really looking forward to welcoming you to my region so I can learn more about you. My objective is not to give you a lecture, but rather to have a discussion to make it more enjoyable for you (and for me!). A bientôt!

On this tour, we will visit 3 wine estates located in the three main wine areas of the right bank of Bordeaux, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol and Fronsac. With 700 châteaux on 5500 hectares located around the charming medieval village, the vineyard of Saint-Emilion offers an important density of wineries, mainly small family estates. The area of the wine appellation shows a large diversity in type of soils, giving wines that can be fruity or mineral, elegant or powerful. Beside St Emilion is one of the smallest appellations of Bordeaux, Pomerol. With less than 800 hectares mostly planted with merlot, it produces the most expensive wines of the region, with a long aging potential. Fronsac is way less famous, as it's in the shade of the two previous prestigious appellations, but deserves to shine as well: the hilly landscape offers optimum conditions for the vines. Being less known as an advantage: attractive prices…
