Dear Frederic,
I would like to report how delighted we were with you.
We all agreed that our trip was a great success in every way.
You met all our expectations and more, most erudite and with an ability to communicate your enthusiasm, both about the subject and the people in the business.
Your choice of venue was always interesting and restaurants were exactly of the standard we hoped for. Last but not least you are most truly a gentleman, a vanishing species in today's society.
It was a delightful trip and one that we will happily recommend to friends.
We would be happy to act as referees for you in the future!
Personally I wish to repeat that it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance, and I know that this is a view shared by all my friends.
Good luck in your business venture.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Grant Bjorgo, Norway
If you really want discover all about the wine of Bordeaux you’d better arrange as soon as possible an appointment with Frederic, your wine tour driver!
We can prove it because we had an unforgettable experience last summer! Thanks to Frederic we have got a really unusual possibility to have a private visit to the best “chateaux” and wine-cellars and to talk with the owners about their secrets of wine making. We are going “to taste” all Frederic’s tours!

Our group thoroughly enjoyed the day in the Medoc. Of course the visit to the vineyards and a tour of the various rooms where wine is made and stored met expectations.
The added twist of getting an insider's look at the properties and the processes made for a superb day trip through the area. The fun of playing at being winemakers and blending varietals for ourselves was such an unusual and fun hands-on activity that we all want to go back to Bordeaux just to do that again.
Our thanks to Frederic for sharing his knowledge of the region, the wine industry and the cuisine with us so generously.
Thanks to him we all felt that we had made the most of our very short stay in the Medoc.

We took the "Becoming a Wine Connoisseur" tour in September 2007 as part of our Honeymoon vacation and highly recommend Frederic's services.
Frederic is an excellent tour guide as he blends his experience of growing up at a vineyard with well-informed commentary and a very approachable personality.
Frederic chooses vineyards at which he has an intimate relationship with the owner, allowing for the unique experience of spending a few hours in conversation with people who have lived with wine for their entire lives.
Chatting during a vintner's preparation of a steak over a fire of dried grape vines was one of many highlights.
In addition to Frederic's deep network of contacts that result in a rewarding and in-depth wine experience, his modern van ensures comfortable exploration of all that the Bordeaux region has to offer.
