"Thank you Bruno - our trip was full of information and learning, so incredibly well organized and your vinyard selection was awesome. Something new to learn at each place - still producing wine but very different in many ways. Horback riding was excellent as well. A beautiful morning. I miss Bordeaux and will see you on my next trip. You made this trip special, and rich with wonderful sites and activities!"

Thierry, Indre-et-Loire (France) - one-day wine tour in Graves and Sauternes offered to his sister as a birthday present, May 23, 2010.
"We wanted to get the feeling and understanding of wine and Bordeaux, we wanted to have part of the pleasant holiday and education together - we have received all of that with perfect understanding of what we are looking for, excellent logistics and planning, warm guidance and deep knowledge. If you want to explore Bordeaux and wines and to have it for you personally, I would with no doubt recommend Bruno."
Eimantas - Lithuania - 3-day wine tour in the Bordeaux vineyards, September 2009
 "Thank you so much for a really great day out and a proper wine adventure last Tuesday, we all really enjoyed it and speaking for myself I found the visits fascinating and quite an eye-opener, it was great to meet the people behind the wines rather than the ‘chateau representative and tour guide’ who you can often come across. The walking was wonderful if hot and the midday meal was so enjoyable and a much needed break and top up on fuel. I would definitely recommend a walking tour to any friends who are going out to the region. This was really the only big activity we opted for during the week and it was brilliant – thank you. And bonus to have coffee and croissants before we set off – thanks for that."
Nicky, UK - One-day walking tour in Entre-Deux-Mers vineyard, September 2009
"If you are headed to Bordeaux and looking for a unique experience in the vineyards, you MUST contact Bruno! My husband and I had not ridden in years, but Bruno tailored a ride to suit our wishes and riding experience. Bruno is very knowledgeable about the grapes, the wine making process, and the area. It was such a great experience riding through the vineyards and through the little villages in the area. If you are feeling brave, Bruno will lead you in trotting and cantering across some fields. An incredible experience!"

" We arrived early in the morning at the magnificent Château of Pressac. Security orders are given before starting. We progress through woods and vines: “châteaux”, history, anecdotes are shared with us all along the ride; riding allures are adapted and secure. For those who like cool rides, history and good wine, this is a wonderful day."
Béatrice - Libourne, France - Saint Emilion and its satellites horse ride, May 2007.
"Our memories of that wonderful program in Bordeaux and the Perigord area are happy ones -- and quite indelible. We can revisit the 250 pictures I took to help us remember all the details. Thank you so very much for making our trip a special one. Your expert guidance, always with a lovely sense of humor, and your ability to "go with the flow", as we say in the US, kept us all happy and fulfilled."

"An ideal horseback ride format for those who are keen on horse riding or for those who simply want to discover the Bordeaux region in an original way... Following horses 'pace, we spent a very nice day with a friendly atmosphere, alternating horse riding and wine tastings...We were just sorry that this ride had an end! I really would advise it for a lovers' or friends' excursion, loughing and easy going guaranteed!!! " (translated from French)

"For me who rarely ride, I much appreciated the kindness and the docility of the horses we had for this ride. The alternation of estate visits and horse back rides made various pleasures along the day: great wine tastings, rides under the forest shade, duscovery of the old stones of Roaillan… It was suitable to everybody's taste! To do again! " (translated from French)

"A HUGE THANK YOU ! My husband and my brother-in-law were delighted with their half-day walk. They much appreciated your knowledge, your cordiality, as well as chateau owner's one. You'll be part of those addresses I like to pass on." Marie-Noëlle, Deux-Sèvres (France) - Half-day trail walk in Saint-Emilion offered to her husband as a birthday present, November 16, 2008.
 "We would like to thank you for the wine tour to Bordeaux you arranged for us in May. The schedule of it was really sofisticated.
Especially starting in Bordeaux Amateurs wine tasting exhibition was the best idea. We got the chance to get important information on Bordeaux wine tradition and wine classification. Tasting and comparing fine samples from the best producers of Bordeaux region was a superb experience, and the best way how to get ready for visiting the famous Chateaux which followed.
Spending the next days in Pomerol, Saint Emilion, Graves, Margaux, Saint Julien and Pauillac was a good lesson for everybody, although quite demanding. We enjoyed meeting wine producers and listening to how they deal with grapes. In some places we got the chance to talk to owners, for example in Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte.
And last but not least we had several exceptional lunches and dinners in either chateaux or local restaurants close to the wineries. All of them were entirely different from each other, and in every one we enjoyed tasting cool cuisine with nice reds and whites.
During this tour some of us got the very first experience in recognizing wines from Bordeaux region. You were really very skilled and a patient guide to all of us. Thanks to your guidance: everything was not only prepared perfectly, but we went through all the program with a lot of fun and in very friendly atmosphere."
