Our Guests Say It Best

“My journey with Philippe and Andy was truly life-changing. In just one week in Bordeaux, I experienced unparalleled access to the wine world through Philippe’s deep industry ties, and the hospitality we received was unforgettable.

Their passion and knowledge made Bordeaux wines approachable and engaging, even for someone like me who came in with limited experience. The perfect blend of learning, laughter, and unforgettable meals—like dinner at Château Lagrange or that incredible mushroom soup at Château Haut-Bailly—made every moment special.

The itinerary struck a perfect balance: immersive, unhurried, and filled with beauty, culture, and connection. It wasn’t just about wine—it was about a deeper appreciation of terroir and the joy of discovery.”

“Philippe is nothing short of extraordinary. His deep knowledge of Bordeaux, paired with his warmth and generosity, made this trip exceptional. He didn’t just take us to world-class wineries—he introduced us to the people who shape Bordeaux: winemakers, château leaders, writers, and négociants. Their stories brought the wines to life in unforgettable ways.

Each day was a feast of flavor and insight, filled with extraordinary wines, delicious food, and inspiring conversations. I returned home with a phone full of vineyard selfies—and a heart full of appreciation for the craft, culture, and history behind every Bordeaux bottle.”

“Traveling through Bordeaux with Philippe was truly once-in-a-lifetime. Thanks to his unmatched network, we enjoyed extraordinary access to legendary estates like Château Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, and Haut-Brion—always greeted with warmth and hospitality.

At Cheval Blanc, Pichon Baron, Lagrange, and Haut-Bailly, we shared intimate meals with CEOs, directors, and winemakers—conversations that added rare insight and depth to the experience.

As someone in the wine industry, it was invaluable to explore production at this level and engage directly with the people shaping Bordeaux. Every detail—from lodging at châteaux to unforgettable food and wine—was perfectly curated. A transformative journey for wine lovers and business minds alike.”
