The Smart Traveller’s Wine Guide is a new series of elegant companions for the wine-interested traveller, giving them all the information they need to explore each classic wine region for maximum enjoyment.
A handy and stylish pocket guide to Bordeaux, The Smart Traveller’s Wine Guide covers everything you need to know about the world’s greatest wine region, from its centuries-long history and the geography of its famous wine appellations, to where to get the best steak frites in the city of Bordeaux. This is a guide written by wine experts for the wine-interested tourist. Everything about this complex region is covered: the difference between St Emilion and Pomerol, wine routes to take you past the legendary châteaux of the Médoc, how to read a Bordeaux wine list. The Smart Traveller’s Wine Guide series is written in collaboration with Club Oenologique, with comprehensive listings of restaurants, hotels, cafés and bars, points of wider cultural interest such as art galleries and museums, which châteaux you can visit, Bordeaux winemakers’ favourite restaurants and more.

Georgie Hindle is the Bordeaux correspondent for Decanter magazine and editor of Decanter Premium. She joined Decanter as deputy online editor in 2011; over the next decade she travelled regularly to Bordeaux, in 2019 becoming regional editor for France, overseeing Decanter's global fine wine content. She moved to France in 2021.
