We had the perfect day with Malgosia exploring St Emilion! Her incredible wine knowledge combined with her local knowledge made the tour incredibly informative and we learnt so much. Malgosia has great attention to detail and curated a personalised tour specific to our interests and previous wine experience. We cannot speak more highly of our time and would recommend Malgosia to anyone visiting Bordeaux interested in having the best wine experience possible.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this service! Malgosia picked us up just down the street from our hotel and gave us a a thorough introduction to the Bordeaux wine region while we traveled to St Emilion. We felt well prepared to talk to the proprietors! We had two wonderful private tours of Chateau, and she guided us expertly around the town. We learned SO much, and there is no way that we would have seen as much as we did on our own, or in a bigger group. Friendly, prompt, knowledgeable…. I could not have asked for anything more. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and acquaintances who are planning a trip to France.

Excellent private wine tour We had a terrific and informative tour with Malgosia in St. Emilion region. There was 4 adults ( 2 couples ) traveling and we fit comfortably in her SUV car. It was a very hot day and she had the AC on high which kept us all quite comfortable. She is energetic, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and clearly enjoys her job. She provided lots of education for first time traveler’s to the region. We visited and tasted wine at two chateaus and had a short walking tour of the st. Emilion town. Everything about this day tour was very enjoyable. She is simply a fantastic guide and we will be booking her again for two more days when we return to Bordeaux in the future.

We had an amazing day with Malgosia! She was so knowledgeable about the history and wines of the region. What we appreciated most of all, was that she listened to what we were interested in and curated to perfection, an experience that far exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend!

We did way more than just tour Saint Emilion, also visiting some truly special small, family owned estates in Pomerol, but none of it would have been possible, or anywhere near as amazing without Malgosia as our guide. She picked us up from our river cruise and drive us through this beautiful region, all the while giving us the history of the area and showing us every point of interest. Given our limited time we visited two Chateau's and were given the full VIP treatment at both. The wines were amazing - and it's always a treat to taste with the winemaker or owner. Our private tour of Saint Emilion was full of history and "insider" knowledge and she took great care to make each moment memorable. She even drove us to the ship's next port to drop us off. Cannot recommend Private Wine Tours Bordeaux highly enough.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Malgosia as our guide. From the moment she picked up my family and me promptly at our hotel, we knew we were in for a treat. What truly sets Malgosia apart is her warm and personable nature. Throughout the trip, she filled us in with a plethora of fascinating facts about the area and the wineries we were about to visit. It was evident that she had a genuine passion for the region, and her enthusiasm was contagious. She was also very flexible and accommodating to our preferences and schedule. She carefully tailored the tour to align with our interests, making every moment so enjoyable! The châteaux we visited were all amazing, and thanks to Malgosia's expertise and connections, we were able to enjoy an intimate and unique experience at each one. It was evident that the owners shared a special connection with her, which made the visits even more memorable. We can't say enough about the wonderful time we had with Malgosia. She made the entire journey a delightful and enriching adventure. Without a doubt, we look forward to booking her services again in the future!

Malgosia was very communicative, and messaged me before the tour to assess our needs, and arrange pick-up. She picked us up right on time. Her car was clean, and the journey was pleasant with 4 passengers. Her tour delivery style is very fast paced and there was a lot of info to take in. We know very little about wine but we learned a lot in our brief trip. I'm sure even wine enthusiasts could learn from Malgosia. Malgosia is very energetic, friendly, and informative. She has impressive, and vast knowledge about the wine and the area we visited. She speaks fluent English and French (as well as Polish, and probably some other languages I'm sure!) St Emilion was lovely (in fact if anything I would have liked a little more time to just wander the streets), and the 2 wineries she chose for us were lovely. The staff were friendly, and we came away with a bottle of wine, some local macarones, and a happy memory.

I can recommend this tour wholeheartedly. I was a wine drinker with very little knowledge until this tour. My partner and I learned so much from attending behind the scenes of wine production, wine tasting and was blown away by the process. Next we visited Saint Emillion which was absolutely magical and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. We attended a cave there where wine was stored and also visited a winery where we were taught to smell and sip wine like an expert. We also tasted the most amazing wines I have ever tasted. This tour has opened my eyes to the value of a great wine and to the majestic region of this world famous wine region. It’s worth every cent. Thank you.

Excellent wine tour with very informative and interesting information about the Bordeaux wine region. We got to have a look at the inner workings of a vineyard and sample some incredible wine. The town of Saint- Emilion is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended.

If you’re looking to go on a wine tour in Bordeaux, look no further and book a trip with Malgosia immediately! She customized our tour and drove us around the Médoc region, sharing incredibly useful, interesting, and relevant information along the way. She is fun, extremely knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and we learned so much from her on our trip. She shared everything from details about the various regions, classifications, and chateaux in Bordeaux, as well as how to properly drink and evaluate wines. Coming from the Bay Area in California, we’re pretty familiar with wine, but were previously lost regarding how to understand French wines and labels. We had such a great time, and learned things we would have never been able to figure out had we tried to do it ourselves. Do yourself a favor and book a tour (or two!) with Malgosia, you won’t regret it!
