Come experience the beautiful Bordeaux countryside through the eyes of a local!

Volunteer on an organic farm, work a wine harvest, enjoy tastings from local producers, stay in a traditional french countryside home, wander through the markets, cook with me, and learn all about organic, sustainable food & wine!

I am so so excited to bring a small group of lucky ducks with me on a week long culinary journey through the Bordeaux countryside!  I'll take care of the translating, the cooking, and the itinerary - All you need to do is show up!

I wanted to create a different kind of travel experience that focuses on full immersion into the local food & culture and connecting with like minded others at the same time. I found this tiny town of Castillon last year long during my world travels and ended up staying for a month volunteering on Manu's organic farm & vineyard.  Manu (short for Emmanuel) made me feel like I was a part of his family, inviting me out to dinner with friends, taking me to the local markets, organizing wine tastings, helping me find running groups to run through the vineyards, the works!  This place is so special to me and I'm really excited to share it now with you! 

​

We will be going local & rustic, enjoying all the simple pleasures of "la vie quotidienne" or the daily life in the French countryside.  We will stay at Manu's beautiful guest chateau, wake up at sunrise, work a few mornings during harvest (if the timing is right!), visit other organic farms & vineyards in the area, shop at the local markets, enjoy wine tastings, cook farm to table meals together, and play with his two beautiful dogs Iggy & Choco in our down time. 

I want to keep the group small to make the experience as authentic as possible, so please contact me asap to snag your spot! See below for more details on itinerary, pricing, and accommodations! Hope you can make it
