Meet your wine travel experts
Martin Hurst and Timothy Olson, Co-Founders
A decade or so ago we were in your shoes, planning our first trip to Bordeaux including some time in Cognac and Paris along the way. Despite being meticulous planners, we’re the first to admit that we made some rookie mistakes on our first trip to the region. There we were, driving through the vineyards of Bordeaux with no appointments and no way to get into any châteaux worth visiting. Today we laugh, and sometimes cringe, about the disasters and other mishaps we experienced on that first fateful trip to Bordeaux, however it was this very experience that inspired us to give up our corporate careers in New York City and launch The Bordeaux Concierge.
After several years of research, visiting hundreds of Bordeaux châteaux, Champagne houses, Cognac houses, luxury hotels and restaurants, we launched The Bordeaux Concierge with a stunning portfolio of partners, all offering exceptional experiences, faultless service and memories to last a lifetime. We have invested our time conducting this research, so you don’t have to. We understand that your time is precious, and none more so than your vacation time with your dearest family and friends.
We are so excited to meet you and welcome you to this glorious part of the world.
