Behind Bordeaux Wine Trails
Raised near the stunning Lac de Serre-Ponçon in the French Alps, I have spent the past 16 years traveling and living around the world, working in the wine and hospitality sectors. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a concierge in a Relais & Châteaux resort in Tahiti and earning my sommelier diploma in Paris, experiences that deepened my expertise and passion for high-end service and wines from all over the world. After a year working in a vineyard in New Zealand, I returned to France inspired to create Bordeaux Wine Trails in 2015, a local wine tour company born from my desire to offer authentic, light-hearted, and eye-opening experiences. My goal has always been to highlight local producers and lesser-known boutique estates — the kind of places where a passion for wine and long-held traditions meet. I take pride in bringing people together to share knowledge, life experiences, and above all, to discover the real taste of life in France. Today, I’m fortunate to work with an amazing team of local expert guides, all passionate wine lovers ready to show you the very best Bordeaux has to offer. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in French culture in an authentic, welcoming, and accessible way, join us on one of our tours — we’d love to share the experience with you!
