Alex Gillette had some success asking this same question recently about tour guides for Burgundy. So in early preparation for a trip to Bordeaux next spring, I’m wondering if anyone here can recommend a personal English-speaking tour guide/driver for a day or two in that area. Like Alex in Burgundy, I will probably be traveling in a group of four and looking, as Alex put it, “to do tastings, walk vineyards, and do the normal wine lover things.”
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Henri Challeau at Bordeaux Wine Travel. Former sommelier in Paris. Really fabulous. Very knowledgable. Very personable. Well known at lots of domaines.
Thanks, Howard. Henri sounds like a great contact.
I second Henri Challeau. My wife and I have toured with him on two different trips. He is amazing. www.bordeaux-wine-travel.com He is professional, a former somm to the premier of France and very knowledgeable.
We discussed at length that he was a former sommelier, but he never mentioned he was somm to the premier of France. Wow.
