This Bordeaux wine tasting class takes place in the heart of the old town, guided by a local wine professional with sommelier and/or vineyard experience. Taste 4 Bordeaux wines paired with artisanal cheese and fresh bread — whether you’re a complete
beginner or a seasoned wine lover.
Unlike larger group tastings, our Bordeaux wine tasting class is limited to 10 people — ensuring every question gets answered
and every glass gets the attention it deserves, beginners are welcome!
With this wine masterclass, you’ll learn everything there is to know about Bordeaux and more. In the heart of Bordeaux’s old town center, this wine tasting workshop will teach you not only the fundamentals of wine, but also the history of the vineyards, their unique characteristics, and main grape varieties. Throughout this masterclass workshop, you will also learn the correct and sophisticated approach to tasting, how to serve wine to your guests and how to pair Bordeaux wine with food.
After an introduction to the vineyards of Bordeaux, you will taste four different wines from various appellations, each with their own distinguished style and character. You will learn the specificities of each region in terms of soil, climate and grape varieties and learn how to recognize their unique taste. The wines will be paired with delicious chocolates and some local cheeses!
Whether you’re visiting Bordeaux for a weekend or spending a few days exploring the region, this wine tasting class is the perfect introduction before heading out to the vineyards. Leave with the confidence to choose, taste and talk about Bordeaux wines like a local — and with a few favourite bottles already in mind. Small groups guaranteed, so every question gets answered and every glass gets the attention it deserves!
This workshop is accessible to both beginners and intermediate wine lovers wishing to (re)discover the Bordeaux vineyards from a different angle.
