Good introduction to understanding Bordeaux wine
The host, Anna, was friendly and clear in explaining to us the Bordeaux wine region and how the various appellations are distributed and where red and white wine is produced and the various rules that govern the region's production. Tasting the wines and sampling some food that complemented the wine was a good aspect. I was less sure about the length of time it took to guess the various aromas, which took up a fair amount of time - this seemed out of proportion to the whole session, though I understand how important aromas are in wine. It's relatively short (1 hour) and I would be prepared to pay a little more to hear about the wine making process and how climate change is influencing things.

Incredible Time Full of Wine, History, and Knowledge
Learned a lot about not just the chateaus we visited, but about the village as well. Some intriguing historical facts from our host as she clearly loved history. I think this tour was really all encompassing and should have something of interest for everyone. The Chateaus were beautiful and the wine/food pairings were perfect. Our host was Gallad (?), (don't know how to write her name).
Definitely recommend. The village is wonderful even after being through several villages across Europe. Especially the church and the view from the back.

Excellent Way to Learn About Bordeaux Wine
The wines and the food pairings were quite perfect. I actually learned something about the wine and region for once. Really good to know about which classifications and regions offer what kinds of wine. The host was very gracious in answering any questions I had and made the presentation easy to focus on.
No complaints. Wouldn't mind more wine though.
Definitely recommend.
