Nick's three decades of living in France brought invaluable insight to the experience. He expertly navigated the snowy roads while sharing knowledge about exquisite lesser-known wines, regional cuisine, and unique local personalities. His combination of expertise and humor made the tour truly exceptional. I would strongly recommend his private tour.
We are grateful to Nick for coordinating our day in Chablis. After staying in Beaune, he provided detailed insights on how to maximize our tour. He met us at the train station early in the morning, showcasing his extensive experience in the industry. Nick mapped out an excellent route, allowing us to sample wines from various areas in Chablis. We enjoyed a wide variety of chardonnays, including oaked, unoaked, organic, and no-sulfate options, alongside surprising finds like Sauvignon blanc and non-pinot noir reds. By the end of our tour, we had gained a solid understanding of the Chablis wine production. In Canada, we can only purchase one “generic” type of Chablis, but tasting the chardonnays from Burgundy and Pouilly Fuisse, we found ourselves preferring those from Chablis. We discovered that unoaked or lightly oaked white wines suit our taste best and brought a few bottles home with us. Thank you, Nick!
We arranged another two-day tour with Nick Borland, this time exploring Burgundy after our fantastic experience in Sancerre/Puilly Fumé a few years back. Nick collected us from our hotel and took us to wineries thoughtfully chosen based on our preferences and knowledge of Burgundian wines, including village selections and Grand Crus, both red and white. Our first day was spent in Chablis, where we enjoyed lunch at Les Trois Bourgeons, which offered excellent French cuisine with a Japanese twist. On the second day, we explored the Cote de Beaune area. Nick's expertise extends beyond just wines; he has in-depth knowledge of the history and geography of the regions and their producers. He drove us through the stunning countryside in a very comfortable van. His longtime relationships with the winemakers really enhanced our experience, leading to a warm welcome at each winery and access to high-quality wines for tasting. He also assists with shipping wine back to the US. I highly recommend this tour and hope for more wine adventures with him in the future.
I strongly recommend this tour. Nick expertly chose the top wineries for tastings and educating us about French wines. Each winemaker provided insights into their winery's history and their wine-making techniques. We began in the charming town of Auxerre and traveled to the beautiful Tonnerre, enjoying a fantastic lunch en route. The wine was excellent and easy to buy during the tour. It's also a very manageable trip from Paris by train.
We had a wonderful evening with excellent snails and perfectly served sweetbreads. The wine selection was impressive, and the cheese platter was delightful.
This wine tour was a standout experience of our trip. Nick was delightful, friendly, and very well-informed. He guided us to wineries and restaurants that we would never have discovered alone, and each stop was outstanding. I highly recommend this tour.
Our wine tour with Nick was fantastic. He took us to both small and large vineyards where we enjoyed wonderful wines and met great people. Nick's extensive knowledge of the industry taught us so much, and his engaging personality truly enhanced the experience. It felt very authentic, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
We had an incredible tour of the Chablis wine region with Nick, who's both a wine lover and knowledgeable about the area. Highlights included visiting a domaine that produces sauvignon blanc, which is rare for Chablis. We enjoyed tastings at three distinct domaines, a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant, and explored the town of Chablis, including a viewpoint for amazing views of the entire area. We would be eager to join another tour with Nick.
