What our guests thought of this experience:

Best wine trip I've ever been on. We had an excellent time. Mladen was an excellent host. It was a great treat to get to visit Mouton and Margaux. We also really loved Chateau Kirwan and the excellent lunch of Preserved Duck Parmentier. Our time with the winemaker in the vineyards at Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I thought the guide Karin did a great job.

Bordeaux was a charming city, full of history, beautiful parks and very walkable. Many great restaurants, shops and friendly people. I loved everything about it.

Louise P.

This trip provided the top of the line in every way: food, wineries, accommodations, guides and personalization.

Chan P.

The winery visits appealed to guests of widely varying knowledge regarding wine, but you must be interested in learning about wine to enjoy this in-depth quality exposure to the industry. Bordeaux is an extremely charming city, and both hotels were great. Overall, a great trip that exceeded expectations.

Steve P.

The Bordeaux experience exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the hotels, Chateau's visited as well as all the meals. We all booked dinners together (our expense) and that was a wonderful experience too with the other guests. I would go again!

David J.

Excellent experience. Everything that was planned went off without a hitch!

Camie A.

All the fun and none of the hassle. Everything worked! As others must have said, the trip was just exceptional.

Cathy S.

The trip exceeded expectations — plenty of pleasant surprises popping up around the itinerary. This Bordeaux trip seems somewhat unique because of the reputation, long history, and 7000 Chateaux, and each of the properties we visited brought something new and different. Final evening was a glorious crescendo — the visit to Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, wine tasting in the garden, the band playing authentic American music, and then the spectacular Michelin 2 star meal with a country flair — again, unforgettable. Many thanks to you, Mladen and your local partners for a most enjoyable trip.
