  Bordeaux Vertigo provided an amazing wine tour and tasting experience. Bogdan was a fantastic guide. He clearly is very knowledgeable about wine, and specifically the Bordeaux region - we learned... read more a lot and had a great time doing so. We did one day in Medoc, and one day in St. Emilion, and both were great. We enjoyed private tastings at three vineyards in each location, and lovely lunches on each day. We highly recommend Bordeaux Vertigo and Bogdan.

  My husband and I visited Bordeaux in July and spent two days in wine country with Bogdan. If we could give him 10 stars we would! He is a fantastic... read more guide if you are interested in learning about the wines of the Bordeaux region of France. We spent one day on the right bank and one on the left bank. Prior to traveling and prior to choosing a guide we interviewed several people over the phone. Bogdan was attentive to our particular desires and demonstrated an amazing knowledge of the area. We are so happy we chose him as our guide! He is knowledgeable, informative in a way that’s easy to understand, and did a fantastic job customizing our time in a way that suited our preferences. And he is fun! We very much enjoyed learning about the wines of the region and we enjoyed our time with Bogdan as well. In addition to educating us about wines he was also very helpful with suggestions for things to see and do in and around the area, places to dine, etc. We highly recommend you book with him! You will not be disappointed!

  My wife and I have gone on numerous private and group wine tours of Left Bank Bordeaux Chateaux but never an extended tour of Right Bank Chateaux. Our good friend... read more Sylvie Fleury of Chateau Les Carmes Haut Brion recommended Bogdan Ghita of Bordeaux Vertigo to take us on a day tour of Saint Émilion Grand Cru Chateaux where we got to drink wines of Saint Emilion, Saint Emilion Grand Cru and Pomerol. He chose the Chateaux to showcase the diversity of the terroir and wines of Saint Emilion. Bogdan picked us up in the Chartrons and we were fast friends before we reached Pont Jacques Chaban Delmas (the modern bridge over the Garonne). Bogdan is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person I know about the wines and history of Bordeaux and shared this in a pleasant conversational manner. We visited Chateau Destieux where we had barrel tastings of Merlot and Cabernet juice from the 2021 vintage. We also had a vertical tasting of the 2014, 2017, and 2018 vintages. We next stopped for lunch at L’Atelier de Candale of the Chateau de Candale. More great wine and a delicious meal for only 28 Euros. Next we tasted wines at Chateau Bellefont-Belcier and completed our day tour of the Left Bank of Bordeaux by visiting the Couvent des Jacobins. All the wines were excellent with perfect choices to give us a good overview of Saint Emilion and Pomeral wines. This was hands down the best wine tour we have ever been on and will be calling Bogdan to take us on future tours of the Left bank and the Champagne, Cognac, and Armagnac regions!

  This was the first trip my husband and I have ever made to Bordeaux and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Bogdan. His extensive historical knowledge of... read more the area as well as the the chateaus themselves was extremely impressive to say the least. Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe the wines that he chose for us to visit and taste. We strongly recommend this experience for casual and experienced wine drinkers alike. It is certainly a memory that we will never forget and we look forward to coming back to Bordeaux to do another tour with Bogdan in the future.

  Bogdan is an incredible wine guide!! Our group had the most amazing time exploring the Medoc with Bogdan. Accommodating, kind, and knowledgeable don’t even scratch the service. ... read more I wasn’t feeling well the day of our tour and the amount of care and compassion he offered towards me was something I will always remember and appreciate! The Medoc is a gorgeous area and the wine is right up our alley (we love cab!) so having such an incredible guide to spend the day with was truly the cherry on top of a 10/10 experience!!!

Thank you, Bogdan! We will be back!!

  We were 3 Australian couples who enjoy our wine. We spent 2 days with Bogden doing a private tour of the left bank Medoc region and the right bank St... read more Emilion region.

We travelled in his Mercedes Van which was very comfortable with cold water always available.

Bogden was extremely well versed in all things French wine and arranged the tours bespoke to our requests. It was very obvious he had great relationships with all the chateaus.

We thorough enjoyed our discussions and he was a quick learner of the Australian humour.

I can strongly recommend Bogden and Bordeaux Vertigo.

  At the risk of parroting the other reviews, the reason that Bordeaux Vertigo is such a wonderful experience is Bogdan Ghita. Bogdan wants his clients to be as passionate... read more about the Bordeaux wine region and its history as he is. He is more of a teacher than a guide. As a result, we know so much more about Right Bank wines after just a single day. Bogdan put together a thoughtful and detailed itinerary through Saint Emilion and Pomerol and shared it with us well in advance of our day-long trip. The chateaux and wines he selected were outstanding. It was evident that he is respected by the principals at the chateaux, who by the way were very generous with their time during the tours. We cannot recommend Bordeaux Vertigo enough. We will certainly book another trip with Bogdan when back in Bordeaux.

  Bogdan was a fantastic tour guide - would thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting to visit the vineyards around Bordeaux or Cognac/Armagnac. Very knowledgeable and great company.

We are sure to highly recommend him and we look forward to going back to Bordeaux and contract his service

  Whether you are an experienced connoisseur or relative wine novice (like us), a tour of the Bordeaux appellations with Bogdon is an unforgettable experience. We spent 2 days with him... read more along with another couple (our friends)--one day on the right bank and another on the left. He drives you around in a spacious van between wineries. We did 4 on the first day plus a cellar tasting at a St. Emilion wine merchant and 4 on the second day. Plus each day had a lunch at a fantastic establishment of Bogdon's choosing with a select wine from his collection. Bogdon's has established numerous connections at vineyards that will allow you access and tastings not available if you were doing this yourself. His knowledge of the history, geography, economics, terroir, and politics of the Bordeaux region seems limitless and he enjoys answering any questions big and small and explaining things in detail. He is extremely personable and a great traveling companion. You will drink a LOT of delicious wine! Bogdon, and the tastings he takes you on are very unpretentious, despite the regal trappings of the establishments.

If you want to go big and explore the Bordeaux region in style, I could not imagine a better way than with Bogdon.

  What a pleasure it was to have Bogdan as our guide, and now our friend, for two full days touring the Bordeaux region. We were two couples who wanted to... read more experience as much of the area as possible and Bogdan helped to narrow down our tour to a manageable two days. Each vineyard was expertly selected, lunch was fantastic (and we enjoyed having Bogdan join us as he is so jovial and full of stories). You could immediately see that Bogdan had so many relationships with each vineyard and they were all happy to see him, which is great for unlocking special experiences that most tourists wouldn't otherwise have access to on their own. We really felt like the tour was incredibly informative without at all being too much information. We were able to both learn and enjoy ourselves and we all feel more knowledgeable having had the experience. We can't wait to recommend him to other friends and travelers visiting the region!

  One if the coolest wine guides we have done! Bogdan is a wealth of information and master at selecting great wines!!

  When I was planning my trip to Bordeaux, I knew I wanted to take advantage of the amazing wine tasting in the region but I had no idea where to... read more start. I'm not really into the big group tours and a lot of the other tours I was finding were either closed for the holidays or too corporate-y. I was looking for something more personalized and personable. Thank goodness I found Bogdan and Bordeaux Vertigo! After reading some reviews, I could tell his style was more in line with what I was looking for so I emailed him to see if he was running any private tours the week after Xmas. He replied right away and was super responsive to any inquiries I had right up until the day we met! Bogdan thoughtfully curated a wine tasting tour in the Saint-Emillion region for us, highlighting the different styles, techniques and terrain of the area. He thought of every detail, including an amazing lunch on a terrace and a walking tour of the ancient city. He knew all of our tour guides at each chateau and it really made us feel like we were in an exclusive club, getting all the best info and tasting all the best wine. He's incredibly knowledgable and personable. Even though it was just the three of us, it never felt uncomfortable and we genuinely enjoyed his company. In fact, we talked about wanting to invite him out for drinks another night! If you're looking to taste wine in Bordeaux, look no further and get on Bogdan's calendar ASAP! Our day with him ended up being the highlight of our trip to France and I'll bet it will be yours, too!

  Let me just start by saying Bordeaux Vertigo is absolutely world class and you need not research further into other options for your wine tour of Bordeaux - this is... read more the one.

This company is owned and operated by Bogdan and we were tremendously fortunate to have him as our (me and my wife) guide for our day touring the Left Bank. Bogdan was a consummate professional from our initial correspondence all the way through the time he dropped us off at the end of our tour. Bogdan tailored our itinerary special for us and our interests - the same he will do for you and, undoubtedly, the same he does for all his clients. Bogdan arrived right on time for our tour - his vehicle is clean and spacious and he provided water for us - again, the phrase "world class" comes to mind.

My wife and I felt comfortable with Bogdan instantly - he is personable, relatable and, I kid you not, knows every nook and cranny of Bordeaux. He drove safely and, despite there being first class wine in front of us and him all day, he did not drink and drive. We were in very safe hands and you will be too.

Now the fun part - the wine! We tasted at classified growth chateaus all day in all of the main Left Bank appellations and there was one chateau in particular that was... I don't know how to put it... such an incredibly intimate, beautiful experience that I cannot put in to words. Bogdan's knowledge on Bordeaux knows no bounds and he will tailor the chateaus you visit, the wine you drink and the information he shares to you and your group's preference. If you are brand new to wine or Bordeaux he will show you the ropes; if you are a sommelier or WSET student he will supplement your existing knowledge, not only while you taste throughout the day, but also during the drive.

Our day with Bordeaux Vertigo was the highlight of our trip - highly, highly, highly (highly, highly!) recommend!

  Our family of 14 had a wonderful experience with Bogdan in Bordeaux during the holiday season! We booked two full days of wine tasting (Médoc and Right Bank) and wish... read more we had booked him for our additional days in the area. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable, Bogdan was flexible and adapted to our preferences before and during our trip. He was committed to making our entire trip unforgettable. We are sure we will see Bogdan again on our next trip to Bordeaux and highly recommend him to everyone!
