We loved the masterclass. Noe was excellent and really explained everything clearly. Would definitely recommend to our friends.

A good overview of Bordeaux wine and wine appreciation in general
Peter Davidson 09/09/2024
Our host was able to transmit her knowledge and passion for Bordeaux wines in a simple clear way so that I believe even second language English speakers would understand. Technical information about the different soils, grape varieties and blending was very interesting and helped give a deeper understanding and appreciation of the joy in drinking wine. Even if you have been drinking wine for a very long time there would always be something more to add to your appreciation of Bordeaux wine in particular. We were able to taste 7 reds and one white so it was very good value for money and we would highly recommend booking. Please note that if you cannot pass the smell/bouquet test do not worry as even this was a good experience.

Great introduction to Bordeaux wines
Jennifer C 08/27/2024
Had extra time in Bordeaux and decided to book this masterclass. I am so glad I did as it was a great introduction and overview of Bordeaux wines. There was plenty of wine to sample and I appreciated having the cheese and charcuterie to go with the tasting. I had gone on two half day tours to Margaux and St. Emilion the days before this and I wish I had done this masterclass beforehand as I would have gone on the two tours more informed.

Great morning. Just six of us in the group. We enjoyed learning about the grapes and the factors that create the flavours and of course we loved tasting them!
