Authentic Escapes Around Bordeaux: From Ocean to Vineyards

Discover two intimate, carefully curated experiences designed for travelers seeking authenticity beyond the usual tourist routes.
The “South Arcachon Bay Day” takes you into the heart of oyster villages, where you can taste fresh oysters by the water, enjoy a refined lunch in Arcachon, and climb the iconic Dune of Pilat for breathtaking views over the Atlantic and the pine forests.

The “Lalande-Pomerol Vineyards Day” immerses you in the world of family-owned wine estates, between the Ambès Peninsula and the red soils of the Libournais, where you’ll meet passionate winemakers and taste expressive wines shaped by their terroir.

These are slow, meaningful moments away from the crowds — the kind of experiences that become the most treasured memories of a journey through France.

Private, Personal and Tailor-Made Experiences

Each excursion is strictly limited to a maximum of four guests, ensuring comfort, genuine conversation and a relaxed, personal atmosphere. You will travel exclusively with your guide — no mixed groups, no strangers, with round-trip transportation from your hotel or Airbnb, tastings, a carefully prepared local lunch, and the insights of a Bordeaux native who knows these places from the inside. There is no rigid itinerary here: every day is shaped around your pace, your interests and your curiosity, offering a truly private French experience, not a packaged tour.
