I had a truly special and memorable experience in Sauternes thanks to Alaïs and her well-planned out tour. Despite the rain (due to the unpredictable weather in Bordeaux), our trip and our visits of the châteaux went on smoothly. One thing worth mentioning is the wonderful pace of the private visits - it was very personal and never felt rushed. Our time provided for a relaxed and enjoyable experience with the beautiful grounds, facilities, and the winemakers. The time on the road in between the châteaux were delightful and full of insights from Alaïs. I've definitely come out of the experience more knowledgeable, with greater appreciation for the wine and culture, and with beautiful memories to look back to. I've taken two excursions with Alaïs and I cannot recommend her enough.

This was my favorite day in Bordeaux. The whole chemistry of the sweet wines is fascinating. Alais is a great tour guide. She really knows what she's talking about. She also offers a great value for anyone who wants a private tour for just one person. Both wineries she picked were very welcoming and provided me a private tour and tasting. They were both well paced and very informative. They were also both eager to find exactly what I wanted without trying to upsell me. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and highly recommend this tour.

Really amazing and highly recommended tour. As it is a private tour you feel extra privileged and it was amazing to visit two top sauternes producers, walk in the fields, see the facilities and to taste their different wines and to be able to ask questions to the very knowledgably guides. Everything is very well planned and it was a great experience. We learned a lot. Try it.

Really enjoyed the tour. Alaïs was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Sauternes wines. She added lots of extra context and details as we drove between wineries, and also shared her recommendations for Bordeaux. Alaïs was punctual and very communicative before the trip, and organised two excellent wineries to visit. This tour was a real highlight of our holiday.
