I was born in Paris and lived there for most of my life until I moved to Bordeaux for a new job to work for a wine company. During my time here, I completely fell in love with Bordeaux, as well as Strasbourg and Reims, and truly discovered what we call in French art de vivre (the art of living).

What our travellers are saying...

Super day in the heart of the vineyards of St Emilion but especially thanks to our guide Jerome who was able to make us live this visit with passion

Ben

Super afternoon spent in the beautiful village of St Emilion and in the surrounding vineyards. We had the opportunity to taste very good wines from the region and learn the basics of oenology. A special wink to our guide Valentin who bounced on a little unexpected to guarantee the quality of our trip :-)

Estelle

We first started our visit to the Chateau de Sales in Pomerol where our host presented us very well the property and the main stages of the wine. It followed a tasting of the two ages of the castle very interesting. Then we continued the visit to the Château Côte de Baleau, beautiful property where the welcome was superb and very pleasant. Our host also introduced us very well the field and also explained the classifications of the vintages.
