      Wine blending

      Phil_W, Sep 2026
      Wish we could give it a six star rating. Host had completed the harvest overnight and into early morning was still a joy to listen to and enthusiastic about his passion for his vine making. Time went so quickly as you really enjoyed the fun of doing the blending with friends and the bonus of having your own personal ‘vintage’ at the end. Shop very reasonable and looking forward to reminiscing on this trip when back home tasting the spoils of our day.

      Must do for wine enthusiasts.

      Our guide was charming young lady who brought great vibrance & patience to our blending. It became very clear when trying other amateur ’enologists’ the complexing of getting the ratio’s correct.

      Wow.. a wonderful experience!

      Many thanks for your opinion, I'm happy to read that you enjoyed the experience !

      Blending is a blast!

      We had a wonderful time at Chateau Saint-Barbe with Solène. She was an excellent guide and showed us the around the property before bringing us to our tasting. We learned a lot about wine and had a complete blast blending and bottling our own! The tour is great for the value. We took the bus from Bordeaux--it was straightforward and the bus drops you off very close to the Chateau. Solène accommodated our bus schedule, allowing us to start and end early.

      Thank you for this review, which fills me with joy. I am very pleased that you enjoyed the visit and the assembly workshop, it was also a real pleasure to have received you for this activity, See you soon! Solène.

      Amazing experience!

      It was an excellent experience. Solne was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were the only attendants on that day and she gave us a very interesting tour of the vineyards and the chateau. Afterwards we enjoyed a lot the experience of the blending workshop and came back home with a bottle of our own blended wine. Definitely recommended!

      Great!
