A wonderful day co-ordinated perfectly by Decanter Tours, and impeccably presented by Veronica, who's knowledge of the region and the multiple options of terroir, was incredible. A superb day, well worth the investment!

As Americans living in Portugal, we recently had the pleasure of touring Bordeaux with Decanter tours. Decanter put together an itinerary that included a history/food tour of the city of Bordeaux, and two days of Left Bank/Right Bank winery tours. The tours were well-planned and well-paced, and as first time visitors to the region, gave us a great overview. The wineries and food shops were well-curated, the visits personalised, and we felt welcome at every place we visited. Decanter also arranged for excellent lunches on the days of the winery tours. Each day we had a different guide, all of whom were knowledgable, professional and fun to be with! It was a great experience, and we look forward to more adventures with Decanter.

Decanter Tours is a must-do if you wanting to tour some of the best wineries in Bordeaux. Julie - was our representative and she hit it out of the park. My wife and I took our mothers for a memorable birthday trip. The wineries they selected for us to visit were exceptional and the wine was delicious, and the setting was beautiful. Julie was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience amazing for both of us and our mothers. She even helped us plan a day trip to the Lourdes Grotto.

Mary & her team did an outstanding job of both planning. & executing our trip to Bordeaux and Provence. We were treated first class at the wineries we toured and truly gained an appreciation for French wines based on the knowledge imparted by Mary as well as the respective wineries. We fell in love with the Rose wines of Provence. Book your next trip with Decanter tours and you won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommend Julie from Decanter Tours. Julie was very patience and smart throughout the whole process of organising our custom made trip for a group of 10 in Bordeaux. She understood what we needed and could provide professional advice and good choices and suggestions as to accommodate our needs and change of schedule. Always came back promptly and managed last minute changes well - everything went smoothly and perfectly well. The whole group of friends were happy and satisfied with the overall arrangements. Even more of a surprise for her attention to every single details. Trustworthy!

We had a perfect experience with Decanter Tours from start to finish. We did a 2 day tour of the left and right banks in Bordeaux France. Julie and Veronica were perfect. They both had the right combination of wine knowledge and professionalism coupled with a great sense of humor and casual affect. We were able to taste at world-famous chateaus that we would not have had access to otherwise. We learned so much about French wine and culture during our two short days. Would highly recommend this group for a private wine tour!

This was one of the best planned, uniquely customized bucket list trips of our lives. We could never have done this without Decanter Tours. Julie was AMAZING, responsive and selected the perfect wineries, restaurants and tour guides for our experience. When in the Bordeaux area, I would never choose anyone else but Decanter Tours to help me plan a trip. Thank you so much!
