Business meetings with a difference. Many people in business enjoy a meeting over lunch or dinner, but some of our clients go that little bit further, and combine their business meetings with a trip to Bordeaux. We can arrange visits and tastings in some of the most prestigious chateaux in Bordeaux. Each chateau has conference facilities available, tours tastings and lunch can also be arranged.

Here are some testimonials from those clients that have explored this service already.

"That "business meeting" in Bordeaux is probably the most talked-about meeting I've ever been to. Certainly the most memorable! Some Carignan wines will remind me of the fantastic tastes too."  Steve, Surrey 2008

"Thank you for organising such a wonderful few days in Bordeaux. It was absolutely fantastic to be able to visit such amazing chateau and taste such incredible wines. Something I shall remember for a very long time. I also learned an awful lot about the whole process which I hadn't really appreciated before." Paul, Surrey 2008

"I was impressed with the wines we had for lunch at Chateau Carignan and they seemed quite affordable as well, so I was hoping that I might be able to purchase a few cases of Chateau Carignan and a case of Chateau Carignan Prima. Thanks again for an excellent introduction to some fantastic wines". Peter, Surrey 2008

"I wanted to drop you a line to express my gratitude for the most wonderful couple of days in Bordeaux. It was an opportunity of a lifetime and an absolute pleasure to experience". Martin, London 2008  

"I've been meaning to drop you a note to thank you for the fabulous Bordeaux venture that you facilitated - many thanks indeed. Rob... a great job in devising our visits and chaperoning all the strays - his insight was invaluable in all respects. I thoroughly enjoyed not only the tasting but the learning process. The chateaux we visited were exquisite as were the varied incumbents we met. There's no doubt that red wine choosing in future will be an expensive habit but then that's the way it should be - fine wines are there to be drunk and now I shall appreciate them all the more." Hugh, London 2008

"As a means of diversifying my investment portfolio I have been collecting high quality wine with BWI for some three years. Although I have not actually sold anything yet, the values rose steadily until the impact of the credit crunch. However even with the recent drop in the market my previous gains, which in some cases ran around 30%, have not been wiped out. The BWI advice and service is consistently good and flexible. At my request they have run annual (two) trips to Bordeaux for my (oil) business clients which have been declared 'the most memorable and enjoyable corporate entertainment yet' - an added value service run like clock work and at very sensible prices! To top it all off, I now buy drinking wine from their own chateaux and this has added pleasure having visited the site." Mark, Kent 2009
