    Robert & Peter Haas 23, Oct 2023 My son and I would like to commend you, Hélène, and your team at Ophorus for providing us the experience of a lifetime! The 4-day tour of Bordeaux’s great wine regions and Cognac had NO WEAK LINKS, not a single flaw, no lapses, no dead spots. The entire itinerary and layout was perfect: beautiful landscapes, magnificent wineries and gracious vignerons/presenters, delicious and charming lunch venues, and a very comfortable ride. We learned and experienced so much, more than we ever imagined. Our appreciation and understanding of the great wines of France has been exponentially enhanced, thanks to your expertly planned and implemented tour. And then there’s Hélène. Like Mathilde, she is absolutely a superstar, a guide touristique et expert en vins très excellent. Her impressive knowledge and experience are only topped by her enthusiasm, passion, and sparkling personality. She not only conducted an engaging master class on Bordeaux wine and viticulture, but assisted us at every turn in getting the most out of the entire venture. She even made sure that we saw and stopped at ALL FIVE of the Medoc/Graves Premier Crus Chateau, and arranged a fantastic excursion to Sauternes/Barsac with a fascinating visit to the biodynamic Château Climens, and a drive-by at Chateau Yquem! And Cognac. Wow!! There can be nothing left to say except: thank you, muchas gracias, graze mille, Danke schoen ….

    Gratefully, sincerely, Merci Beaucoup!

    Happy7Voyager 26, Sep 2021 The tour was amazing. Luigi our guide is also a sommelier, so you can be sure that you get the best knowledge and information from first hand. We visited three wineries (Le Chatelet, Château La Gaffelière, Château Tour Baladoz), tasted plenty of wine, had a stop over and lunch in picturesque St Emilion. Each vineyard was different and had something else to offer. As it is September we could taste the grapes and enjoy wonderful landscapes in the sun. We had a wonderful time with Luigi and our Group. Fully recommended.

    a picturesque town, this is the tour to take. Merci for an amazing day!
