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.

Fantastic day
We loved the wine tasting tour, interesting and met lovely people too. We would have liked to spend longer in St Emilion, that felt rushed. We did not need another tour of the second chateau since the process is quite similar, could have just done the tasting at the second chateau. Very good lunch. Would definitely recommend.

Very useful and worthful pass
I liked the variety of activities in that card. You can choose among lots of museums and also have not only one guided city tour,but you can also visit guided tour in another city(Saint-Emilion). Great value for its money!

Lovely Afternoon with BWT!
A wonderful experience with Bordeaux Wine Trails! G was an excellent guide, both sharing his immense knowledge of wine and French culture. We learned a a lot of interesting information on the first tour. The second vineyard was a slightly underwhelming experience, though. The representative spoke for about 10 minutes about their vineyard and then awkwardly kept telling us that Medoc wines really need to be aged 7-10 years as she served us something with many less years :-P. Overall, we were very impressed with BWT and would use them again. G was a great host, and really wanted to ensure we learned a lot while also having fun.

10/10 experinece
The tour was amazing, super interesting and involved everything. First we were walking about an hour in the wineyard, looking at all the different plants, how they are grown, difference s in soil, etc. Then we saw how different types of wines are processed and how the wine is produced. Finally we tasted four different local wines, which were amazing. Our guide was very nice. Overall definitely worth the money and I recommend to visit the place. Also, the wine there was inexpensive and great, so we ended up buying two full boxes of bottles

Our Left Bank Trip was Amazing
This was our first trip to Bordeaux and we wanted to visit the left and right bank. Rustic Vines made this really easy. Our Left Bank tour leader, Chloe, was excellent, very knowledgeable and fun. She also shared a number of recommendations for restaurants, museums and other Bordeaux visit ideas. Being new to Bordeaux, this information was awesome. We travelled to 3 Left Bank chateau's, and we had some food parings at each stop. The staff at each Chateau were also amazing. The tours were excellent with great insights about the Left Bank and we tasted some amazing wine. This tour is highly recommended, as is Chloe, who did a fantastic job.
