Authentic, fun, delicious, and informative

We had such a great time on the wine tour with Nick. He brought us to some small and large vineyards with amazing wine and great people. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the industry and we learned a lot from him. He also has a great personality which made the experience even better. This experience was very authentic and we would highly recommend it to anyone!

This tour was a highlight of our entire trip! Nick is charming, friendly, and knowledgeable. He took us to wineries and restaurants we never would have found on our own and each was exceptional. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended!

Another fabulous 2 day tour with Nick Borland. This time in Burgundy.

We booked with Nick for Burgundy after the wonderful two day experience in Sancerre/ Puilly Fumé a couple of years ago.
Nick picked us up at our hotel and took us to wineries carefully selected based i. Our taste and knowledge of Burgundian wines — from village wines to the Grand Crus, white and red.
The first day was in Chablis where we stopped for lunch at Les Trois Bourgeons, excellent French food with a Japanese flair. The second day was in the Cote de Beaune surrounds.
Nick is very knowledgeable not just about the wines and wineries but the history and geography of the places and owners, driving us through the beautiful countryside in a very comfortable van. He’s been doing this for many years so personally knows the winemakers which is big plus in the welcome we received at the wineries we went to and the quality of the wines we got to taste.
And then of course he helps us with shipping the wine to the US.
Highly recommend. Hoping he’ll cover a few more wine regions in the near future.
Fantastic Day in the Burgundy Region

I would highly recommend this tour. Nick did a wonderful job of selecting the best wineries in the area for tastings and an education on French wines. Each wine maker shared the winery’s history and a bit on their wine making process. We started in the quaint town of Auxerre and made our way to the lovely town of Tonnerre with an excellent lunch on the way. The wine was great-easy to purchase along the way. Very manageable trip from Paris by train.
Very productive day in Chablis

We need to thank Nick for organizing the day. We stayed in Beaune and he explained in details how to best organize the tour. We took a train early AM and he met us at the train station. He's been in the business for some time and it shows. Nick organised the route in a such a way that we saw and tasted wines from different areas in Chablis and around. Along with a range of different chardonnays (oaked, unoaked, bio, no-sulfates....) we also encountered, to our surprise Sauvignon blanc and non-pinot noir reds. At the end of the tour we had a very good understanding of what is produced in Chablis area. Unfortunately in Canada we can by only one type "generic" chablis wine that is selected by someone as most representative. We tasted chardonnays in Burgundy (Beaune and Nuits) and Pouilly Fuisse but liked Chablis more. We found that white wines are best left unoaked or very lightly oaked. Ended up bringing few bottles home. Thank you, Nick!
