A family story

I was born and bred in the Bordeaux region, just minutes from the magnificent vineyards of Saint Emilion; I am as much a product of the area’s unique terroir as the local wines.

My grandfather spent his entire life in the wine and food business, my brother manages a chateau, and my cousin is a wine merchant. After living in the U.S. and Central America for over a decade and working for gourmet food businesses, like Les Trois Petits Cochons (The Three Little Pigs); I am thrilled to have returned to my roots, and to the beauty and grace of Bordeaux.

Bordeaux with Elodie gives me the opportunity to share my passion for the region with wine and culinary enthusiasts from around the world.

Born and raised in Pessac Leognan, one of the oldest appellations in the Bordeaux region, Laura has been immersed in the world of wine since childhood.

For several years Laura has worked in prestigious vineyards in Bordeaux, learning everything there is to know about winemaking and wine tourism.

Since 2015, Laura has been Elodie’s right hand. Both at the office and in the vineyards, Laura loves being surrounded by travellers, good wine, and good food!

With her great personality, deep knowledge, passion, and commitment – trust us, you won’t want your tour to end! 😉

Our wonderful Emilie has been a part of the dreamteam since 2017 and absolutely loves her job.

Emilie spent years in Paris, working in the world of luxury, hospitality and tourism – including eight years as a commercial agent for Air France. She left still loving hospitality but not the subject, and her life changed when she decided to reunite with one of her first loves in Bordeaux: red wine!

Emilie will show you the very best of Bordeaux with endless knowledge, love, passion and emotion.

Marina was born around Lyon, the capital of French gastronomy, and grew up surrounded by vineyards.

She knew her future lay in Bordeaux, so she completed a Master’s Degree in wine marketing and interned in a winery in Saint-Emilion: the love story had begun!

After working at several prestigious wineries throughout the Bordeaux appellations – Sauternes, Pomerol, etc., –  she met Elodie, and the rest is history! She is now living the dream, and can’t wait to share it with you, our lovely guests. Cheers!

The first man to make it to the Dreamteam!

He is exceptional, as reaffirmed by our guests lucky enough to experience his guides. 

​Jeremy was born to an English mother and a French father, who raised him here in Bordeaux. Loyal to the region,  he has worked in some of the most exclusive estates from a young age, developing a strong passion for winemaking.

Jeremy has vast knowledge and loves meeting fellow wine lovers, sharing his passion for great foods and wines and, crucially, having fun!

Emily

Emily was born in a wine région from the South West of France .
She spent her childhood travelling with her grandmother; this gave her the curiosity and the open mind to be a tour guide.

She started her career in Paris giving tours to the Louvre and Versailles, sharing her love for history and architecture.
Seven years ago, she decided to pack up and move to Bordeaux so that she could  combine her passion of wine and heritage.
Emily will make you fall in love with French culture.

Safia grew up in the Libournais, an area famous for the beautiful wines of Saint Emilion and Pomerol.

Safia always loved traveling and knew she wanted to work in the industry. She met Elodie many years ago, and in 2020 they decided to start working together… But then covid happened! 2 years on, Safia was finally able to join the BWE dream team! She’s been a happy member of the company since April 2022: working from the office, planning visits for our guests, and helping with administrative and accounting tasks.

Suzanne has been interning at BWE since October 2023 and oversees communications. She will be graduating with a master’s degree as a communications manager next year!

She is behind the posts, stories, articles, etc., as seen on our social media and website.

You can quickly put a smile on Suzanne’s face: go and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest…

Solène

As a fervent language lover and tireless globetrotter, Solène feels at home wherever she is. She grew up in the South West of France, between the forest, the mountains and the ocean, but quickly started traveling in all parts of the world to learn new cultures and languages.  Living in Spain and South Korea made her fall in love with the gastronomy and wine culture, and she moved to Bordeaux to work as a wine tour guide in prestigious wineries in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. She left the region again, to work on a cruise ship for half a year, and she is now back in Bordeaux, more excited than ever, to make you discover this beautiful region, and its gastronomy!

Eliott

Eliott began his career in luxury hospitality. His passion for service and love for the art of hosting led him to live successively in Switzerland, the United States, Canada, and Paris before settling down in Bordeaux, where he fell in love with the region and its rich terroir. He is a true epicurean, and wine runs through his veins. When he’s not in the kitchen or wandering through local markets, he loves sharing his passion for gastronomy and wine with his loved ones and clients. For him, every tasting is a unique sensory experience that he will greatly enjoy experiencing with you.
