BORDEAUX VERTIGO

  10/10 for Bogdan and Bordeaux Vertigo! - We had an absolutely amazing time with Bogdan. He did an incredible job lining up a wide variety of different types of chateaux for us to visit, which was... read more particularly impressive given the proximity to the holiday season and many wineries beginning to wind down for the rest of the year.

Would absolutely recommend, couldn't have a had a better experience!

  A must for anyone visiting Bordeaux  - I cannot say enough positive things about Bogdan. He arrived at our AirBnb promptly with a warm smile and welcoming nature. The tour began as he unfolded a... read more map on the hood of the van and provided a wonderful overview of the Bordeaux wine region. Then he escorted us in a new, clean and comfortable Mercedes sprinter van. He had a fridge in the van with still and sparkling water. He brought us to 3 classified growth producers as well as a small family owned estate in Saint-Estephe. In between he organized lunch at a top-notch restaurant that was absolutely delicious and would rival a Michelin-star experience.

A day with Bogdan is an absolute must for anyone visiting Bordeaux and I look forward to joining him on a tour again soon.

  für Leute mit selfmade touren viel zu teuer  - Bordeaux, eine der schönsten Städte Frankreichs, aber Umfeld überschätzt. wer im Medoc eine Cooperative,z.B. Fort Block aufsucht, kann preiswerter Wein geniessen
und selbst in der Stadt gut und günstig essen.... read more Warum dann sich die 45km nach St. Emilion schleifen lassen für einen nichtssagend Spaziergang durch ein langweiliges Dorf. Ausser man kennt persönlich einen Winzer-Familienbetrieb, dann lohnt sichs.
Die Hämmer sind eh oberhalb Libourne im Pomerol !!!!!!

  A 5 star tour of the wine region of Bordeaux  - What a great day planned by Bogdan of Bordeaux Vertigo. He was right on time to pick us up and started to explain the wine areas in the region with... read more detail. we arrived in St Emillion early and he gave us a short tour of the town and explained how the town came about. he has excellent knowledge of the various vineyards and classifications they can receive.

The host spoke excellent english and answered all of our questions. they provided an in depth tour of the entire wine making process. we concluded with a wine tasting. Bogdan then arranged for a tour of a small family owned vineyard run by 2 brothers. It was another great experience and he was able to urge the brothers to even give a cask tasting experience. truly a remarkable day all planned and organized by Bordeaux Vertigo. Everything was 'class' from the minute we were picked up to the final good-byes.
Thank you Bogdan, it was the highlight of our Bordeaux stay.

  Amazing wine tour! Bogdan creates a magical tour catered specifically for you...  - My husband and I booked a private tour with Bogden to celebrate our anniversary. Prior to arriving in Bordeaux, Bogden communicated with us to see that he created the perfect... read more day. He picked us up at our hotel at 10am and began the beautiful drive to the first chateau. Along the way he provided fascinating history on the area and the chateaux themselves.

Again, another scenic drive to our final chateau where we toured the grounds, tasted grapes right off the vines and sampled amazing wines. At no point were we ever pressured to purchase any wines from the chateaux we visited, however who could resist! Receiving our wine shipment shortly after we arrived home was such a treat and a special reminder of our day with Bogden and our entire vacation. Bogden is incredibly professional and has great relationships with the chateaux which ensures the perfect day. We cannot recommend him enough!

  Knowledgeable and personable guide.  - We had an excellent experience with Bordeaux Vertigo! My husband and I toured with Bogdan two days in Bordeaux and we could not be happier. We visited three chateaux each... read more day, complete with informative tastings and tours. First day was a focus on the left bank Margaux, St. Julien, and Pauillac. Day two was a beautiful tour of Pommerol and St Emilion. What enables these excellent visits and experiences is the very positive relationship that Bogdan clearly maintains with others in the wine industry. We really appreciated the depth of Bogdan’s knowledge of wine, the winemaking process, and the history of the region. This was a very memorable visit that we will cherish.

Ultimately it ended up being a morning at Pessac-Leognan and an afternoon in St. Emilion including a walk through the historic town. We were picked up at our B&B in the morning and then we went on our way to Pessac-Leognan to try reds and their dry white. On the drive, Bogdan gave us an in depth overview of Bordeaux, the regions, the grapes, and more. He truly is an encyclopedia of all things Bordeaux wineries. After a tasting and tour there, we traveled to St. Emilion for lunch and then two tours/tastings. These were specifically chosen by him to have the same wines, the same appellations, but showing what the different terroirs nearby do to the wines. There was no pressure to buy any wines at any of our stops. We did, but it wasn't one of those tours where the guide obviously has a quid pro quo with the shops. Afterwards we were dropped off at our B&B with our minds full and a better idea of what to look for on a label for the wines we are able to purchase at home.

  Fantastic day in the vineyard!  - I had the pleasure of doing a tour of the Médoc with Bogdan & Bordeaux Vertigo with colleagues from my WSET4 Diploma group.

I Believe Bogdan is studying at the University of Bordeaux for his ISVV and is razor sharp.

... read more /> We were traveling with our kids, and he completely catered the tour so they were interested and engaged the whole time. He had private tastings set up at each location, and the day was planned so nothing was missed. We made clear we wanted everyone to be engaged, and Bogdan picked specific wineries with activities that appealed to them (cave tours, juice tastings) as well as an scenic lunch at a castle. Of course, the adults still had great wines too, and got the history from the small towns.

We had a memorable and delicious lunch at La Terrace Rouge at Chateau La Dominique in an unparalleled setting with nothing but vineyards as far as the eye could see. We were very pleased to visit a mix of “brand name” wineries as well as other smaller producers making top class wines.

We rejoined Bogdan for a second day in Bordeaux visiting the Left Bank. Again, his Chateau selection did not disappoint.

True to form, his selection for lunch, Restaurant Le Saint Julien, was absolutely superb, making it difficult to select from the excellent food and wine choices.

Beyond the tour days, Bogdan provided wonderful suggestions of other sights and tastes to experience in Bordeaux.
