Visiting Bordeaux has always been a bucket list item for me ever since I first tried the wine over 20 years ago. So, when the opportunity to visit came up, I jumped at it and contacted Decanter Tours. We quickly found ourselves in the heart of some of the most storied Château’s. It was incredible to have considered this moment for so long and then finally find myself surrounded by the likes of the First Growths on both banks. But, the best part of the tour was Veronica, our guide. She was so incredibly personable and knowledgeable and fun to hang with. Without her, I feel the tour would not have resonated nearly as much. Thank you, Julie and Veronica! What a wonderful product And experience you gave us! James EldridgeJuly 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a supurb experience with Mary, Julie and the team. Our guide Julie (no relation, I’m told!) was also excelllent. They put together a top-tier 3 day private tour for us at short notice. Remarkably, they were able to accommodate our special requests as well. I cannot recommend them highly enough. evan woodJuly 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such an incredible experience with Decanter Tours! Everything was perfectly organized, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Veronica. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole day so much fun. We loved learning about the history of Bordeaux and how the wine industry has evolved over time — Veronica explained it all in such an engaging way. The Châteaux we visited were absolutely stunning, and the wines we tasted were just as impressive. It was such a special day and one of the highlights of our trip to France. If you’re planning to visit Bordeaux, Champagne, or Burgundy, I highly recommend Decanter Tours and especially Veronica!

Julie coordinated the entire day - her communication was excellent. We visited 3 amazing Chateau with lunch at the second. Veronica was our professional tour guide and resident Bordeaux Sommelier for the day. She was integral to the day: from educating us about the history of Bordeaux/Wine as a whole, to ensuring the smooth communication between each estate and added to our tasting experiences at each Chateau. Our driver Fred is now our favorite guy ever and had the nicest vehicle! We even received special gifts at each stop from Julie and the company. We’re so glad we didn’t try to do this ourselves.

We spent three days with Decanter Tours while visiting Bordeaux at the end of May/beginning of June in 2025. From arranging tour days with Julie to departing from Veronica on the last day of our tours, the whole experience with Decanter was exceptional. I am sure we were able to visit chateaux with Decanter that otherwise we would have never been able to visit, such as Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Everything was easy and trouble-free. The time we spent with Veronica, our tour guide, was fantastic. Those three days really made our trip to Bordeaux. Veronica was extremely knowledgeable and adapted to our level of wine knowledge well. It was great to taste wine with Veronica because she was so knowledgeable about the region and vintages. She was very friendly and personable, engaging, and energetic from start to finish. She was truly one of the best tour guides we have ever had. I could not recommend someone more highly. Our two drivers were also great. We were always on time and never felt rushed at any of our visits. And it was nice being able to taste the wine and not have to worry about driving. I highly recommend Decanter if you are going to Bordeaux. It will make your trip so much more enjoyable and fulfilling.

Thoughtful, seamless, and full of charm. Our guide Guillaume was fantastic—knowledgeable, and bringing the region's history and wine culture to life in such a fun and approachable way. We left Bordeaux with not just bottles of exceptional wine, but also lasting memories. Kristine PalmerMay 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We traveled with a group of 8 and Julie made the trip seamless and effortless. The itinerary was perfect and the venues we visited from chateaus, to restaurants to bike tours were fantastic. Anita BansiFebruary 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Decanter Tours organised our tour of Bordeaux. My family and I had nothing but positive experience. Julie put together our holiday. The 6 Chateaus she chose all had something different to offer us. She definitely listened to what we wanted from our trip. Fred our driver who picked us up from the airport and stayed with us through our trip, was excellent. Mary who was our guide was the best. Her knowledge was vast. On our last day we had specialist custom tasting with Veronica. She was amazing, her knowledge was extensive. The whole experience was perfect. Will definitely use them again. Thank you to everyone involved. Shubha ShivapurkarNovember 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took a mother-daughter trip to Bordeaux to celebrate my daugther's 40th birthday. We are avid lovers of Bordeaux wines and we searched internet widely and came across Decamter tours. Julie customized the tour to suit our schedule and to meet our needs and provided us great details about exactly what the tour will be covering. The cheateaus we visited were exquiste and covered left and right banks and not just cookie cutter tours that take you to sanit Emilion and wine bars. She even accomodated us when we had to switch dates for our trip. Our tour guide Veronica drove us around in a nice car and picked us up from and dropped us off at our hotel. She was very knowledgeable and gave us information based on our questions. She was funny, witty and paid close attention to what we liked and what we did not and improvised accordingly. She also took us to a wine bar and intorduced us to a wine consultant Evie who hlped us put together a case based on our taste and budget. Overall we had an amazing time. This wine tour was la ittle bit pricey but totally worth it. The memories we made were priceless.

We rented a Chateau in St Emilion. Our group of 8 friends from California had a spectacular time!! Every detail was carefully arranged by Julie-Prune with meticulous detail. In every tasting we were treated as VIP's and all the timings and logistics and meals were fantastic. We got to visit 11 wineries in just 3.5 days. All the best chateaus in each region. Julie was with us the final day and was fantastic and her guide, Veronica was with us the first 2 days. She was soooo delightful and everybody loved her and Julie!! Decanter also arranged to have a chef come in one night which was wonderful . Our group was so amazed and impressed with Decanter and the team!!! a Magical time!!Load more
