After using a number of private guides throughout Europe, there is no doubt that Frederic is the best that we have encountoured. His knowledge of the region and of wine-making is extensive, and his experience of growing up on the family vineyard is clearly evident. Beyond his knowledge, though, his passion for his work and his desire to create the... More

We picked this tour company based off a reccomendation from our B & B and from Trip Advisor reviews and weren't disappointed! Frederic provides you with a tour that is the perfect mix of information and fun. We selected the Bordeaux Slopes tour in which we visited 3 wineries and had a short tour of St Emillion. The tour is... More

Frederic Borliachan was a terrific tour guide and the day we spent with him was very enjoyable, educational, and gave us a reason to return to Bordeaux. Besides visiting three different Chateaus, we had a marvelous lunch at a "restaurant" picked for us by Frederic that produced a meal that was a gastronmic artwork. Frederic spoke English well and was... More

Frederic was extremely friendly, comforting, and knowledgable about not only the wine, but the entire region, wine making process, and many things in general. He was very kind, and made me feel very comfortable right away. He has a lot of experience in the wine making industry, and often knew more than the wine guides at the wineries themselves! He...

My husband , two nieces and myself spent three days in Bordeaux at the end of January. Never having been to France before, I looked on line for some kind of wine tour. I contacted Rendez Vous Au Chateau and Frederic was very prompt in answering back. Even though he was on vacation! He picked us up at our hotel... More

Last December I visited Bordeaux with my wife and a couple of friends. Frederic was our guide during a perfect and magic day.

The tour really... More

We spent a day in late April with Frederic Borliachon, a gentleman and an experienced guide who picked us up in Bordeaux and took the four of us to three levels of chateaux in the Medoc: a family run smaller chateau producing two wines, Ch. Palmer (a grand cru), which also produces two, and Ch. La Laguna, a higher production... More

November 2011: I found Frederic's details on Trip Advisor when I was searching for a tailor-made wine trip for me, my 84 year old father and my 24 year old son. I wanted someone to guide us for a day and give us a taste of wine and an insight into how it is created. Frederic is an excellent guide... More
