10:30 am: Meet at 3 rue d’Enghien, 33000 Bordeaux, at the À la Française apartment

Start with a welcome glass of white wine and learn the basics of wine tasting, so you’ll never feel intimidated in a restaurant again.

Taste 2 single-varietal wines before joining a blending workshop.

Taste 2 blended wines prepared in front of you to understand their differences.

Then, enjoy a blind tasting of a famous Bordeaux wine and guess where it’s from.

All of this with a typical French aperitif (fresh bread, sausage, cheese, dark chocolate...) to pair with your wines and discover your tasting profile with the help of your guide.

Wine tasting lesson

David Cawte 09/25/2024

Great fun, easy to book and very interesting

Remi is a great teacher.

Alex Komies 10/14/2023

If you like wine, then a better understanding builds a better appreciation not only in nuanes but a better foundation. Remi is a great host and teacher and it was informative and fun to meet like-minded wine lovers. There is a lot of information on the web over wine that can be overwhelming and contradictive. But drinking wine, and talking and hear about other people experiences with a knowledgable guide who is open to questions that will certainly arise, makes it fun. Yes, I would recommend this class full-heartedly. Here is a 360 photo: https://panorra.com/share/w89bb3cd5d2-2023100831122856

Do not hesitate to book this tasting. Best one in Bordeaux

Mark L 08/28/2023

I've had plenty of tastings around the city in my one week stay in Bordeaux and this is by far the best. This tasting is a crash course in wine tasting, french wine and a bit of wine history that's both entertaining and enlightening! The 2 hours or so of the class went by extremely fast with everyone learning and leaving with smiles. You'll get to 'blend' your own Bordeaux wine and play games as you go along the class. I would highly recommend this to anyone remotely interested in learning more about how to appreciate wines and French wines in general. Thank you for one of the highlights of my trip to Bordeaux!

Very enjoyable class

We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting lesson last month. It was our visit trip to Bordeaux and we learned so much about the different wine producing regions of France (with a focus on reds). Isabella was a charming host, walking our small group through the tasting at an easy pace. The platter of small bites which functioned also as palate cleansers was very thoughtful. And as someone who loves a good visual aid, the handouts we got in the class to learn terminology and jot down notes was excellent. I still refer back to them now and then. Loved the little blind tasting at the end too! All in all, very good value and a truly enjoyable class.
