Founded in 1993, Cousin & Compagnie is one of the oldest independent wine cellars in Bordeaux and a pioneer in the introduction and commercialization of biodynamic and natural wines since the mid-2000s.
Firmly convinced that the preservation of our natural heritage also depends on vineyard and winery practices, at Cousin & Compagnie, 90% of our selection consists of organic, biodynamic, or natural wines from family estates or independent winemakers.
Visiting our Bordeaux cellar means discovering rare gems from all over France and abroad, whether they are Grand Crus or “friend wines.” A true cabinet of curiosities, Cousin & Compagnie can satisfy both novices and connoisseurs, as well as those seeking unique finds.

When the weather is wet, drink wine!
Really enjoyable despite the wet weather! Sonia was an excellent guide providing good information. The two family run vineyards provided friendly and enjoyable tastings of various wines of different grape varieties and prices. There was no pressure to buy wine although I’m taking back a couple of St Émilion Grand Cru; it’s nice to be able to buy from the vineyard having heard about their passion for their wine.

Fun Experience
This tour was such a pleasant surprise. We expected a tram ride through wine storage caves, but it was so much more! We drove in and thru the vineyards learning about the soils, growing conditions, etc before touring the caves. Champagne tasting was a classic way to end the tour. We felt we did more than expected and so glad we took the tour!

Bordeaux Visit
It includes entry to Cite du Vin which I consider one of the highlights in my visit to Bordeaux. Also great to use on the public transport. Truly great value for money!

Fantastic Experience!
We had a fantastic experience with our guide, Yev, as he was extremely knowledgable about the area and all of the wines. Unfortunately we ended up getting rained out so we were not able to bike, but Rustic Vines accommodated this weather situation by switching it to a van tour. Highly recommend this company for wine tours in Bordeaux!

Nice activity for the first time in Bordeaux
The weather was not good, unfortunately it was impossible to go outside, but we still enjoyed the cruise.
The wine was great and little snack too. The guide spoke French and English very well.
