“This was a great experience, Vincent did a great job taking us through the history of wines in the region. The wine education was excellent, we had some sensory testing as part of the tasting as well as how to taste wines both visually and through taste. Along with some charcuterie and bread. This was well worth the time and cost.”

“Wonderful introductory tasting with Mathilde! She is so kind, friendly, and knowledgeable! It was a small and cozy setting that my mother and I enjoyed, with good conversation, fun games and great lessons. The group reached out to me in advance to make sure I was fully prepared with directions. If we had stayed longer in Bordeaux, we would have gotten a lovely and personalized recommendation for food to go with our knowledge. I would gladly go on a more in depth tasting tour on my next trip to Bordeaux.”
