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.

Underwhelming
A group of us went on this river cruise in July. It was an exceptionally hot day which probably impacted our overall experience.
The boat was circa. 15 minutes late to depart due to the late arrival of some other guests. During that time the majority of guests were sat outside in the stifling heat. When we eventually set sail it was announced by the host that he was doubling up as both tour guide and barman. We were already desperate for a cold drink at this point. After about 30 minutes we had to stop the tour guide to ask him to open the bar as it was so uncomfortably hot. He should have read the room - everyone was suffering. He seemed inconvenienced by this request even though nearly every guest immediately joined a queue for the bar. It felt like the boat was understaffed as there should have been someone manning the bar at all times. Instead, we had to sacrifice the tour commentary in order for the host to serve much-needed cold drinks.
I'm not sure I would recommend this boat trip.

St. Emilion Wine Tour
This was a great half day tour that included a visit to the UNESCO village of St. Emilion, as well has two vineyards with accompanying wine tasting and guide from the respective Winery Owners/Staff. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly bringing us to each place, sharing her insights and vignettes about the wine region and historical facts. It was also great fun and well worth it. I would highly recommend it.

Worth Every Penny, the Bordeaux City Pass
Absolutely worth every penny! Even though I don’t speak French, I had an amazing experience with the Bordeaux CityPass. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Bordeaux.
The staff at the Bordeaux Tourist Office, especially Michel and Cisca, were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout our visit. Their assistance made exploring the city so much easier and more enjoyable.
The Bordeaux CityPass offers exceptional value for money, covering an impressive number of attractions, museums, guided tours, and public transport at a very affordable price. We purchased the 48-hour pass and honestly wished we had another 48 hours to make even more use of it. There is so much included that it’s impossible to fit everything into just two days.
If you’re planning a trip to Bordeaux, the CityPass is an absolute must-have. It made our visit seamless, affordable, and unforgettable.

Fantastic Tour - highly recommend!
We loved the walking food and wine tour! It was even personalized so my adult son who has Celiac's could still partake in the food options. The knowledge of the guide of the area and the foods & wines was top notch! It was the best tour we did while in Bordeaux! Highly recommend taking this tour! Give it a 12/10!! It was nice to visit local shops as we would not have known about those. I have already recommended it to others!

Highly recommend, this was a great experience
Such a fun day out on e-bikes , definitely the best way to see Saint Emillon is by bike. It’s beautiful travelling on side roads next to the vineyards
Friendly and knowledgable tour guide I thoroughly enjoyed this
