A fun introduction to the wines of Bordeaux

Renee Bergmann 12/19/2024

Our instructor was knowledgable and informative and it was a pleasure walking through the history and basics of the wines of Bordeaux.

Enjoyable tasting

The sommelier was knowledgeable and friendly. The tasting started with a presentation about Boardeaux's wine producing areas. Next was a lesson in how to taste wines before trying four different wine types. Recommended.

An excellent Wine Tasting experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting session with Vincent! He has a really in-depth knowledge of Bordeaux wines and is able to pass on his expertise in a clear and very accessible way. He quickly realised we already had some basic understanding of wine and immediately adapted his talk and approach to our level. This was a birthday gift for my partner and I was worried that this would be a very 'touristy' experience. But it was very professional and we tasted some very good quality wines. It was great value for money, especially as a small cheese and charcuterie platter is included.. At no time were we urged to buy any wine afterwards, but we were keen to return to benefit from Vincent's guidance in making a few choice purchases (unfortunately we didn't have time on this occasion- but we may well contact Olala later to make an order). As a short introduction to Bordeaux wines, we highly recommend this experience and will seriously consider doing a chateau day or half-day tour with Olala in the future. Merci Vincent!

Great start to our time in Bordeaux! Noe was so knowledgeable and informative on the area and Wines in the region. He was very helpful and did terrific job discussing and leading us through tasting of wines. If it’s your first time in the area, I would start here and enjoy this introduction to the region. If you’re lucky, you will get an Noe.
