Additional Information

As a professional wine taster and explorer of Bordeaux’s vineyards certified from the University of Wine, I enjoy spreading my love for fine wines!

The experience will be one marked by sharing and warm interactions, reinforced by the words of Georges Brassens - ‘The finest wine is not always the priciest, but the one that’s shared.’

The wine tasting course is open to everyone, serving as a beginner-friendly introduction to demystify the realm of wine.

Our tasting room sits in the Bastide area on Bordeaux’s right bank, a mere 200 meters from the grand Pont de Pierre - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Bordeaux’s most exquisite landmarks. Housed in a quintessential Bordeaux structure replete with classic stone charm, our tasting room also includes a private courtyard.

This buzzing neighborhood, currently undergoing rejuvenation, perfectly fuses the bohemian with the industrial, and boasts unique sites like Darwin and the Botanical Garden.

Wonderful wine-tasting! - All six of us really enjoyed our wine-tasting with Cecilia. Wine lovers with very little knowledge, she talked us through wine appreciation and tasting, and it was a bit of a revelation! Loved her little cellar, her chat and choice of wines, the accompanying nibbles. She was brilliant. We highly recommend this to anyone wanting more understanding of wonderful Bordeaux wines.

A fun activity to do when visiting Bordeaux - Cécilia made the experience both educational and enjoyable; we got to learn the different smells and flavors in wine as well as the art of wine pairing. Definitely found a new appreciation for the complexities of wine. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about wine in a friendly and inviting atmosphere! On my list next time we visit Bordeaux!

Great experience - This wine tasting experience is the best for exploring the wines of bordeaux. With the great explanation of where, who, how and when the wines are being made with showing of visuals. I myself was not that well known in the wine industry but with this experience i feel confident to say that my knowledge has been improved.

Very pleasant initiation alongside Cécilia - Great first experience in discovering Bordeaux wines! Cécilia takes us to the wine-growing lands using our senses: visual, olfactory and taste. We learn how to recognize the different grape varieties and their specificities. During the workshop, Cécilia advises us on the wine/food “pairing” concocted by her. Thank you again for this initiation, I recommend!

Wholeheartedly recommend - Cecilia's course is so good I did it twice in one week, once in French and once in English, with different friends who were visiting from Ireland and the UK while I was spending some time in Bordeaux. I've done guided vineyard tours and wine tastings in the Châteaux of Bordeaux, and have visited the Cité du Vin museum but would recommend Cécilia's course more highly than both. Cécilia is a wonderful instructor, very knowledgeable but veru approachable with questions and has a wealth of knowledge. She is also extremely kind and welcoming, and generous to share recommendations for things to do in Bordeaux and beyond. I would highly recommend her course to anyone interested in wine, it was so enjoyable I will certainly bring any other visitors I have back, and I know they'll love it. 😊🍷

Fun and informative local experience! - A unique way to learn and taste the wines of Bordeaux! Cécilia is very knowledgeable and conversational - I learned much more at this smaller, collaborative experience, than with other larger groups/classes I’ve done in the past.
