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.

Great way to explore the city
Greta value card that encourages you to see multiple landmarks and have numerous experiences without the hassle of separate tickets (as most museums and galleries charge). Tourist office staff incredibly helpful with advice on what best to see and assisting with bookings.

Excellent tour of great locations
Can thoroughly recommend this wine tour. Wonderful day long tour with multiple wine tastings and a great lunch. Chloe, as tour guide, did a fabulous job explaining the complexities of the wine classification system whilst negotiating the winding roads. Excellent way of visiting several vineyards and sampling multiple wines - totally stress free.

This is a scam, especially if you get the city pass
The tour itself is fine. You get a slow ride around the river with a tour guide telling you some interesting facts of Bordeaux that you will also hear on every other tour and in every museum.
The scam is when the Visiter-bordeaux.com site claims this tour is "The only postwar yacht from Bordeaux" in the English version. And the pictures make it look like it's an older, maybe historically interesting, yacht. That's not true. It's the same modern boat as any other. The site does a poor job of explaining what you get.
To top it off, if you get a City Pass, you get 1 free tour. If you choose a boat tour, you get on the same boat as this and you can buy wine and canele on the boat. Wine is EUR 4 per glass, canele EUR 0.50 each. Don't waste your time or money with this tour. Buy a citypass, choose a boat tour, and buy the glass of wine and canele on the boat. That way you have access to tons of other things in the city for free, free public transportation, and a free boat tour.
