“We are grateful to Martin and The Bordeaux Concierge team for making this one of the best wine trips we have experienced.”

 
 

We are two couples from Singapore in our 60s and 70s who enjoy wine, food, and cultural travel. Over the years, we have visited many of the world’s renowned wine regions.

In late May and early June 2026, we travelled through some of France’s most famous wine destinations, including Bordeaux, Hermitage Hill, Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu in the Rhône Valley, Burgundy and Chablis, and the Champagne region. We worked with Martin Hurst, Co-Founder of The Bordeaux Concierge, to plan the trip about five months before our departure. We shared a list of wineries and regions we hoped to visit, and Martin did an outstanding job creating a smooth and memorable itinerary. His deep knowledge of the regions and strong relationships with wineries helped us gain access to many prestigious estates. He also took care of the accommodations, transportation, winery appointments, and restaurant recommendations, making the entire trip stress-free and enjoyable. What we appreciated most was Martin’s ability to understand our interests and travel style. He created an itinerary that balanced famous wineries with unique local experiences, while allowing enough time to relax and enjoy each destination. We are grateful to Martin and The Bordeaux Concierge team for making this one of the best wine trips we have experienced.

“Thank you for creating such an unforgettable adventure filled with wonderful wines, beautiful scenery, and lifelong memories.”

 
 

Our wine trip to Paris and Bordeaux exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until the day we returned home, everything was handled with true first-class service. Your attention to detail was simply outstanding. Every aspect of the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The accommodations, transportation, winery visits, dining experiences, and local recommendations were all exceptional and seamlessly coordinated. A special highlight was Arcachon, which was absolutely incredible. It was one of the most memorable parts of our journey and a destination we likely would never have discovered and appreciated in the same way without your expertise and planning. What impressed us most was how effortless the entire trip felt. Your knowledge, organization, and commitment to creating a personalized experience were evident every step of the way. It truly felt like a VIP experience from start to finish. Thank you for creating such an unforgettable adventure filled with wonderful wines, beautiful scenery, and lifelong memories. We would enthusiastically recommend your services to anyone looking for a world-class travel experience.

Timothy exceeded our expectations in every way. We had the most amazing, perfect trip. Everything was set up for us--from pick-up at the train station to vineyard visits, dinner reservations, and our accommodations. We never had to worry about anything. In the planning process, he was very responsive and really customized our trip to our needs. I cannot recommend the Bordeaux Concierge enough!!

“It’s hard to imagine ever taking a trip that hasn’t been carefully curated by The Bordeaux Concierge.”

We reached to The Bordeaux Concierge to plan a last minute get away when we had an unexpected change in travel plans.  From our first conversation with Martin, we knew we would be in good hands.  Every part of the trip felt extremely personalized to us even though it was all planned with about a week’s notice.  It was a week living at the height of luxury while being extremely well cared for.  Martin understood exactly what we were looking for and made sure all our desires were met.  Each partner made it feel like we were traveling with friends and not just tourists or customers.  It’s hard to imagine ever taking a trip that hasn’t been carefully curated by The Bordeaux Concierge.

“One of the highlights was a private cruise on the bay with champagne and oysters and a picnic on the sandbanks.”

I worked with The Bordeaux Concierge to plan a week in France for a small group of close friends . Tim found us the most amazing contemporary villa on the coast in Cap Ferret. All of our restaurant reservations were taken care of and everywhere we ate was exceptional. One of the highlights was a private cruise on the bay complete with champagne and oysters and a picnic on the sandbanks.

I always try to find a specialist travel agent or local expert who can help me with my vacation planning and, once again, it made for an incredible trip. I can’t thank The Bordeaux Concierge enough for such a fun vacation that we will remember forever. Thanks guys!

“The attention to detail was flawless.”

Martin immediately understood us and what we wanted from our trip and the video consultation really helped with that. I’m so pleased I was introduced to The Bordeaux Concierge as the choice of hotels, restaurants and vineyards is truly overwhelming. Thank you so much for arranging the special touches for Andrew’s birthday. The attention to detail was flawless. We absolutely loved meeting Pierre at the vineyard - our wine arrives next week! Until next year!

“I was able to make the most of every single day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Bordeaux Concierge.”

I am passionate about wine and photography in equal measures so Bordeaux seemed like an obvious destination for me. With this in mind, Tim helped me devise an itinerary which would allow me to photograph some of the most beautiful villages around Bordeaux and capture the local way of life, while visiting some outstanding chateaux and enjoying their wines along the way. For me, the planning component was a breeze and I while was there I was able to make the most of every single day.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Bordeaux Concierge and I am now reluctant to go anywhere without tapping into a local expert first.
