Mindful Wine Tours in Bordeaux

I help travelers discover Bordeaux’s flavors with slow, mindful tastings—whether on foot, by car, or a custom tour designed just for you.

Wine & Mindfulness Escape

Join Laurent Denis for private, mindfulness-inspired wine tours in Bordeaux. For more than 10 years, I’ve been helping travelers reconnect with the authentic soul of Bordeaux — one mindful glass at a time.

Slow down, taste deeply, and let me guide you through hidden vineyards, local producers, and the French art of living — with the ease of a personal driver and the joy of unhurried discovery.

People are seated at tables facing a large presentation screen at the front, which displays a slide related to a wine tasting event. The atmosphere suggests a formal or organized tasting session with a focus on wine education or appreciation.
