Wine Tour Booking (www.winetourbooking.com) came on line in early April and, like all enterprises starting up, we awaited first reactions with heavily disguised trepidation tinged with not a little hope.

Wine tourism earns lots of praise and is recognised as a major marketing tool. But a one-stop booking platform? Would that arouse the enthusiasm we, as creators, so longed for? From the planning stage onwards we were welcomed with open arms by local wine producers. From then on it was simply a matter of ironing out the details, making sure everyone stayed on board and that so-called ‘opinion leaders’ remained as excited about it all as we were, as we turned our plans into action.

We’re happy to announce that the Wine Tour Booking label may now be considered a formidable entry into the Bordeaux wine lists. An exceptional vintage for Bordeaux oenotourism. In fact our website has been received by the press in a way that exceeded our wildest dreams ! One after another, Web TV (http://www.vigneetvin.tv/article-1368-1er-site-de-resa-en-ligne-de-visite-de-proprietes-viticoles.html) and other reporters, whether wine specialists or general interest, have contacted us to learn more and ask for interviews.

Recognition by one’s peers is one sure sign of success, we’re delighted to say that we certainly seem to be on the right track !
