Historical

Established in 2009, Decanter Tours has a rich history rooted in a passionate commitment to bringing the Bordeaux vineyards closer to wine enthusiasts. Founded by Mary Dardenne, whose American roots infuse a distinctive perspective, the company began by crafting custom-made wine tours exclusively for individual clients. Early on, the emphasis was on providing tailored experiences that allowed clients to delve into the nuances of Bordeaux’s renowned terroir.

In 2016, Decanter Tours marked a significant milestone by expanding its offerings to include shore excursions and river cruising, broadening its reach to accommodate a diverse range of wine lovers. This expansion allowed the company to extend its unique approach to wine education and in situ learning to a wider audience.
