We are a couple from France that just started to travel in South America a month ago.

I, Antoine, grew up in the countryside near Bordeaux, and lived there mainly. My parents are wine makers (in the Graves appellation) but, sadly, I’m not very knowledgeable in wine making, something I would like to change.

I’ve worked for 5 years as a Software Developer in Bordeaux, a job I enjoyed quite a lot so I’m good with Computers. I’m friendly and interested in a lot of different subjects, specially local cultures, music, food...

I speak English and a bit of Spanish, another thing I want to change. 

I’m hard working and eager to learn (in no particular order) : wine making, cooking, Spanish, how to play guitar and a lot of other things.

I, Tiffanie, grew up in Bretagne (Brittany) a region north west of France. I wasn't born in the middle of a vine like Antoine but in a cauliflower! My grandparents used to grow some vegetables for locals markets and I spent all my childhood in the field with them. I could see their passion and love towards their products and terroir growing up each day. This passion was transmitted to me and I've decided to explore it through the wine. 
Wine represents all the values I care about such as caring, enjoying and sharing.

So I moved to Bordeaux and did everything I could to become a part of this fabulous universe. As I love being surrounded by people from all over the world, wine tourism was a logical path for me! 
Before taking the plunge, I wanted to have a global perspective of the wine atmosphere, that's why I passed a wine tourism diploma and worked with wine brokers. I was also part of the team of a great estate in Margaux last year!

Today, I am a tour guide specialised in wines from Bordeaux. Transmitting my knowledge and enrich it from others experiences has becoming my second passion... Drinking wine being the first of course !
