About this tour
This call is a plain conversation about the wine regions around the city, using a map I hold up to the camera rather than a walk anywhere. We cover what separates the main areas from each other, then narrow things down to a shortlist based on what you tell me you enjoy. I explain the reasoning behind each suggestion as we go.
We start with the map and the big picture, then move into your own questions once the basics are covered, and I check what you say against what is easy to find near you. A written shortlist follows by message after the call.
This suits anyone planning a trip or just curious about the wine without wanting to commit to a full walking session. It also works well as a shorter add-on to a longer call.
Included
- A 45-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Bordeaux: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
