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.

Brilliant services and excellent staff!
This is my family's first visit to Bordeaux and we immediately decided to take a boat ride like what we usually do with major European cities. We enjoyed the view, detailed explanation of major touristy spots, historical development of the city and of course, nice beverage offered onboard. We took the last shift but it would be even better if there is a later one so we could enjoy the sunset view.

Great wines and very interesting history of all three wineries
Very knowledgeable guides at the wineries as well as our Driver from Rustic Wines. We learned a lot and the wine tasting was fantastic. There were some changes to our original booking because of the wild fires, but Rustic Wines really took care of us and rebooked the tour for the next day. I definitely recommend this tour!!

Great half day trip!
We enjoyed wine at 2 wineries and spent about an hour in the town of Saint Emilion. The tour guide Sonia was well organized and did a great job of explaining. I recommend.

Beautiful experience, guide very engaging
We enjoyed the guided tour very much. We speak italian while the guide english. She was very clear and fascinating even with our little daughter. The theather is wonderful and, to us, every tourist in Bordeaux has to visit it.

Interesting but rushed
Our driver and guide were lovely but think the guide was under time pressure to tell us as much as possible and then repeat in French. On the bus, the two French people would talk loudly to each other when she was speaking in English so we couldn't hear. If she had been talking in English for a while they would demand the French version. When in St Emilion, we were led through a pretty church but didn't stop. We were taken into the underground church, which was very hot and stood in one spot. My back became very painful but there was no where to sit and we couldn't leave as we were locked in (not sure about the health and safety of this arrangement). The guide said we would have free time to explore the town but after being so hot and uncomfortable, we went directly for an ice cream, which we had to gobble down quickly in order to get back to the bus. There was no time to visit anything. We moved onto the vineyard, which was very interesting and informative.

Ottimo!
È un'ottimo citypass perchè consente di spostarsi con tutti i mezzi e praticamente tutti i musei sono inclusi! È compreso anche un tour (a piedi, in trenino o barca). Lo consiglio assolutamente perchè fa risparmiare moltissimi soldi. L'acquisto online è semplice. L'unica cosa che dovrebbe essere migliorata è la possibilità di avere il pass digitale (senza dover andare a ritirarlo presso l'ufficio del turismo) e la possibilità di prenotare i tour sempre tramite cellulare (andare presso l'ufficio è un pò scomodo)
