Authentic Bordeaux Experiences—France with Friends

Spend six unforgettable days experiencing Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion, and the Arcachon coast as a friend, not simply a visitor.

With an intimate group of just 10 guests, we take you beyond traditional winery tours and sightseeing to meet acclaimed winemakers, chefs, culinary experts, and local personalities who warmly welcome us into their wineries, kitchens, and family homes.

Blend your own Bordeaux wine, cook alongside a celebrated chef in his home, dine as a private guest at a prestigious wine estate, stroll through the vineyards of Saint-Émilion and Sauternes, and discover the breathtaking landscapes of the Arcachon Bay and Dune du Pilat.

Pictured to the right, Christy and her dear friend of more than 20 years, Antoine—a talented chef and cookbook author—share plenty of laughter, culinary secrets, and unforgettable moments as they cook with guests in the warmth of his family kitchen.

This is Bordeaux through the people, places, and traditions we know and love. This is France with Friends.
