Discover Bordeaux and Aquitaine with your private guide
Personalized tours, adapted to your rhythm and your areas of interest.
I’ve been living in Bordeaux since 2003 and working as a local guide since 2008. Having been fascinated by the French language and French history and culture since my childhood, I came here to continue my studies and ... of course, I fell in love with Bordeaux at first sight!
Bordeaux is a charming city! Its history is fascinating, its culture is multifaceted, its architecture is gorgeous, and the Bordeaux wine is a special, unique world that you want to understand and want to talk about.
Having graduated in French linguistics and the history of language, as well as the history and civilization of France and intercultural communications, I became so passioned about Bordeaux wines that I graduated from the wine and spirits school, got a WSET 3 certification and worked for wine chateaux in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol.
In 2008, I began teaching at the University of Bordeaux and gave conferences to international students on winemaking and wine business in Bordeaux, as well as on intercultural negotiations.
At the same time, I was fortunate enough to organize several professional MICE tours to Bordeaux, which were very successful and emotional. Therefore, since 2008, I’ve begun to offer my services as a professional guide in Bordeaux and organize wine tours, gourmet tours and city tours in the Bordeaux region, both for private guests and for professional groups.
In 2014, I met Roman Tatarov, one of the most passioned and experienced guides in Bordeaux (local guide since 2004), and in 2015, we founded together the agency SAS Taste and Travel. We work as private guides in Bordeaux and Aquitaine, but also as a host agency – a tour operator. You can find more information about us on - www.tasteandtravel.fr
