Guest Testimonials - Last Bordeaux Harvest Tour of the Season !

"We really enjoyed all of the walks, wineries and tastings, and especially loved the cooking class with Antoine! Our group and guide were outstanding and lots of fun! All of the meals and food were excellent! Thanks for a great time! We're looking forward to returning for your Provence walking tour." Paul and Cyndy Kozik, Baltimore, MD (Bordeaux Harvest Tour)

"We loved Remi!! He was so fun!! Our favorite wineries were the ones in Saint Emilion and Graves. Antoine's cooking class was fun and the food amazing! Our lead guide was so fabulous, charming and knowledgeable. This was such a pleasant experience and wonderful way to discover Bordeaux wine country and all of these excellent wines! Loved having Chateau Haut Brion with our picnic lunch!! You guys do a great job and it shows in the way you treat your guests and how well everything is organized. Hope to be back sooner than later on another of your tours." Paul and Karen Galindo, Austin, TX (Bordeaux Harvest Tour)

"The walks were all great, and so were the wine experiences and Antoine's cooking class. We enjoyed learning about the different wine appellations and classifications. You did an excellent job and we loved being a part of the tour. Thank you! " Jim Boucher and Marty Uhlmann, Cheyenne, WY (Bordeaux Harvest Tour)

"This trip was overall amazing! Loved all of the food and grand cru wines. The walks were a wonderful way to discover the different appellations. We learned so much about Bordeaux wines and had a great time drinking them too! Plus Chef Antoine and his wife were so intoxicatingly wonderful. Thank you for such a fun week!" Tony and Debbie Tilford, Austin, TX (Bordeaux Harvest Tour)

OUI ! What we provide and what we guarantee our guests...

Oui ...What we do...We guarantee some very specific services that we believe you, as our guest, deserve.

• We ensure a "small group" remains just that - a "small group" ! - The group size on each of our tours is a maximum 8-16 guests. Many of our trips sell out completely meaning group size is 16 guests, and some trips average 12-14 guests. Our experience has been that limiting our group size to 8-16 guests per tour creates the ideal ambiance for guests to easily mingle and get to know each other, yet still maintain their independence. We also limit our group size in order to preserve each guest’s personalized experience, and ensure our famous quality customer service.

• We include MOST meals and ALL beverages (BOTH alcoholic and non-alcoholic) in our tour prices ! - We always include pre-dinner cocktails, welcome cocktails, plus premium, classified and "Grand Cru" wines at all groups meals during each of our tours. If we don't include a meal on any particular day, we always have a list of our favorite cafés, brasseries and restaurants that we recommend and will be happy to reserve for you.

• We ALWAYS provide our guests the BEST rooms at every hotel we use on our tours ! - We always reserve the VERY BEST for our guests ! Plus there is NEVER any hotel hopping on our tours. We select one exclusive, luxurious, historical establishment for the entire 5 nights of each tour.

• Our scheduled walks are ALWAYS guided ! - We always guide our walks !! Our guides are experienced and have walked our trails repeatedly each season - even in their off season, and are knowledgeable about what each trail has to offer. Our guides accompany every walk on every tour where optional and scheduled walks are included. And our guides remain with the group during the entirety of each walk. We believe your walks with us should always be fun, interesting and a time to sit back and enjoy the views along the trail while someone else takes charge and shows you the way! We have specially designed all of our trails exclusively to share with our guests. A second guide drives the support van.

• We ALWAYS provide van support for our walks ! - In addition to providing guides who accompany each walk on our tours, we always provide a support van whose sole responsibility is to meet the group at designated points throughout each walk to provide more refreshments and snacks, collect any purchases made during visits along our trails, and provide a ride to any guest who needs a break.
