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. 😊

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! 😀🍷🧀🪤

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. It is clear he has a real gift for making wine lovers feel welcome while sharing his expertise.

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

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!

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.
Helen_T, Oct 2024
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!

Anna was a wonderful and very knowledgeable host. The tasting was very informal and good fun. The wines were excellent and the sensory challenges added to the whole experience.
Clare_A, Aug 2024
A great introduction to the local wines. The guide was very knowledgable and we had fun.
Would highly recommend this experience if short of time or wanting something in the city.
Lisa_E, Aug 2024
Good experience with a mixture of learnings, tasting wine and some appetizers as well as trying out our sense of smell. Nice with such a small group. The only downside was that the guide talked quite fast and with a French accent so sometimes it was a bit hard to follow what she was saying.
Tjaa_T, Jul 2024
I had very nice time and I learned a lot about wine. We tried some great wine and ate good food. I recommend it!
Madison_L, Jul 2024
Had so much fun trying the wines provided and tasting the charcuterie paired with it. Guide was very knowledgeable.
