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.

Laura

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! 😉

Émilie

Originally from northern France, Emilie lived in Paris for many years. After earning a degree in tourism and hospitality, she decided to follow her dream, traveling the world and discovering new cultures.

Our wonderful Emilie has been part of the dream team since 2017 and truly loves what she does. She spent many years in Paris working in luxury, hospitality, and tourism, including eight years as a sales agent for Air France. Always driven by joy and passion, she chose to keep moving forward.

Emilie will introduce you to the very best of Bordeaux with endless knowledge, love, passion, and emotion. As a little bonus, she is also a talented photographer, so do not hesitate to ask her to capture some beautiful photos of you.

Marina

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!

Jeremy

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.
