Can't say enough good things about our experience with Decanter Tours. Their team was super responsive, jumped in to help us plan a five-star Bordeaux experience and had everything confirmed at an unbelievable speed. Our guide, Veronica, was amazing — incredibly knowledgable about Bordeaux and wine in general, super personable and a great fit for our three-person group. We're already planing our return!

Julie was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable! 3 wineries each of the two days! Very fantastic tasting and visit! Top notch Bordeaux wineries . Although on the more expensive side it is well worth the price for the quality of the guide and wineries!

Julie was excellent to work with. She was very friendly and had extensive knowledge of Bordeaux and the wine industry. We did a two day tour with her and I wish we could have added a few extra days. I highly recommend her.

My wife and I did a tour with Julie-Prune Védrenne. It was the best wine region tour we have ever done and we have done many in many parts of the world. Julie is knowledgeable and was a great host. Mary Dardenne owns the company and was helpful and responsive in setting up the tour. They were also very flexible in making last minute changes to the itinerary based on certain wineries I wanted to visit. And they have great contacts and arranged for a special once in a lifetime tour with the owners of a Bordeaux winery including personal time in their home. Fantastic experience. Highly recommended.

Julie and Decanter showed us a wonderful time on the right and left banks of the Bordeaux wine region. We visited beautiful châteaux, met interesting and informative vintners and tasted fabulous wines and local dishes. Julie was awesome. Not only was she friendly, cheerful and enthusiastic, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and wines of the area. We experienced and learned more than we ever imagined. We will definitely return!

Julie guided us through 3 wonderful days in Bordeaux. Prior to our arrival, Decanter Tours helped take care of all of our logistical details and upon arrival, they implemented the tours just as planned. Not only were the logistics well done, Julie provided just the right balance of information and expertise, while also giving us the space to enjoy the experience on our own. She is personable, responsive to her client's needs, professional and most of all, highly knowledgeable of the vast amounts of historical and modern-day information pertinent to Bordeaux. I highly recommend Julie and Decanter Tours for your next visit to Bordeaux!
