This is the second time I've taken this class - both times with friends visiting me in Bordeaux, and all agreed that it time well spent.
We had Antoine both times and he made the experience amusing, educational, and interactive. My friends walked away knowing more about wine tasting, about Bordeaux wines, and generally feeling more confident in their wine knowledge. More importantly, they all had a lot of fun!

This was an excellent introduction to our week in the Bordeaux region. We developed an understanding of the different grapes from the regions, identifying the characteristics and enjoying the looks, smells and tastes. Pairings were excellent. My daughter and I learned so much and loved it. Thank you!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much Marie for this feedback; we are thrilled that you and your daughter enjoyed this tasting!

This was not just a wine tasting, it was more like a short class with a lot of content. And they were not trying to sell wines, rather educate. It was well presented and fun.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Merci pour la précision 👍 Voici une version corrigée, plus fluide et centrée sur l’expérience, le plaisir et le “French lifestyle” :
**Thank you very much for your feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the educational aspect and the depth of the experience.**
**Our aim is to share a fun, relaxed and authentic approach to wine, inspired by the French way of life, where learning and pleasure always go hand in hand.**
**We hope these new foundations will make you want to join us again for a vineyard tour, to experience the Bordeaux region at the source, with even more wines to discover!

I learned a lot from this tasting experience. The tasting experience was in French, even though I thought I had put in the English filter. That being said the facilitator did try to include English and my translation app did the rest. I recommend, lovely wine and good information that I have used since I got home
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed the wines and found the information useful even after returning home!
We appreciate your understanding regarding the French session, and we're glad our facilitator could help make it enjoyable for you nonetheless.
We hope to welcome you again, perhaps for a full English tasting next time. 😊
Linda_K, Oct 2025
Nice variety of wines. There was a nice sampling of cheeses and meets but we didn’t really pair all with the wines. Great interaction with the host and the attendees which was nice. Would be great if we could receive a glass of our favorite at the end! 😀🍷🧀🪤
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi Linda, thank you for sharing your experience!
We're happy you enjoyed the Introduction to Bordeaux Wines with Cheese and Charcuterie and the friendly interaction with our expert of wine 🍷 and guests.
Your suggestion about offering a final glass of your favorite wine is a great idea, we'll definitely keep it in mind! We hope to see you again soon at Olala Bordeaux.

Very knowledgeable , friendly person leading the tasting .
The only downside was the experience felt rushed and everyone was told another group would be there soon.

Thank you for such an engaging and enjoyable presentation. The presenter’s ability to share his deep knowledge of Bordeaux wines in a way that’s approachable, entertaining, and respectful to everyone – regardless of their background – really stood out. His humor, charm, and unpretentious nature, made the session not just informative, but genuinely enjoyable.

Wilene_L, Aug 2025
This was a great wine tasting event. The place is small but very personable. They did a great job of explaining lots of history about the wine in this area plus taught us about how to taste properly. The atmosphere was very friendly and the wine was very good
We were there on a very hot day so it was a bit uncomfortable even though they did have fans going
Overall it was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to all.
Response from Host, Aug 2025

Our tour guide, Helene, was perfect. I was also impressed that she had a microphone so that those in the back of the van could also hear her. On previous tours, it's been an issue for us. The wine tasting and commentary was great.
David_H, May 2025
Great way to learn about Bordeaux area and understand its wine. Super friendly guide. Definitely recommend this workshop!
Christiane_M, Mar 2025
4 floors, stairs only, good overview of Rembrandt life…many paintings were too high or not lit as well as should be to really fully appreciate
Jennifer_R, Jan 2025
Two adults from USA. The sommelier was able to talk in English. Knowledgeable on subject matter. They accommodated one food allergy as well. This is a great way to get introduced to Bordeaux regions and wines.
Alejandra_R, Dec 2024
The guy we had during our visit (Fri, Oct 25, 2024, 4:30 PM) was simply great! He got through all the information about Bordeaux wine at the same time as we got into discussions throughout the tasting. We learned a lot, got to ask questions, had good wine and good fun.
Janice_G, Dec 2024
We had a great time & learnt so much about wine & the wine regions in Bordeaux. The wines we tasted were excellent as was the charcuterie. We bought a couple of bottles & even went back the next day for more!! Very entertaining & enjoyable experience
Jane_K, Dec 2024
I was very lucky to have a private wine tasting and Vincent was very professional and knowledgeable. A relaxed experience and highly recommended. Wines were good too…I will return.
Elaine_M, Nov 2024
Our instructor was very personable and very knowledgable as well. I enjoyed the slides. It had so much information. The wines were very good. I recommend it for anyone who is about to go on the Bordeaux wine tour.

What a fantastic way to learn about Bordeaux wines! We had a great afternoon, we learned more than we expected to, particularly around the regions, history, and styles of wine! I would HIGHLY recommend this experience, particularly if you are short on time . A great 1.5hrs!
