They keep the brothers safe! - Complete workshop with friends: discovery of the stories of Bordeaux grape varieties, tasting and wine blending course... plus we leave with our bottle! Simplicity, good humor and passion shared brilliantly by Pierre and Geoffroy. An experience to absolutely live!

The Coolest Experience. - This was the coolest experience. I wish every trip had something similar. I learned so much and even got to bring home wine that we made. This was the highlight of Bordeaux.

Bordeaux’s best experience - WOW! This was definitely the highlight of our trip! Not only did we get to learn about the wine regions in a fun & hands-on way, but we got to get creative and blend ourselves! I want to thank these two brothers for the craic (as we say in Ireland). Would highly highly recommend to anyone visiting Bordeaux!

Amazed at how much we learned! - This was an in-depth class in Bordeaux wines. It's not just a sip and dash. We learned about how to tell the difference between to various wines of the area with a guided tasting, then an assisted tasting, and then a blind tasting to give us a chance to use what we've learned. I feel a lot more confident about judging the Bordeaux wine I was drinking the rest of the trip. And then using the knowledge we acquired, it was fun to make our own bottle to our personal tastes.

Awesome experience in Bordeaux. Would highly recommend! - What a fun experience we had with the wine tasting and make your own blend experience! We were one brother down but you wouldn’t have known. What an engaging experience full on fun and laughter and we definitely left with a better understanding of tasting. The accompanying cheese and meat was yum and paired well with the wines we were tasting. I’m not a massive red wine drinker and bought this for my partner as a Christmas present for our holiday but was thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. This would be a great introduction to Bordeaux and the wines in the area though we did this on our last night after doing a winery tour yesterday and it was still a great experience. Do yourself a favour and book this in if you are in Bordeaux.

Best Thing We Did in Bordeaux - This was by far the best thing we did in Bordeaux. Friendly, charming, funny, and informative. Choose this class -- if you like wine, you definitely won't regret it! Next time I'm in Bordeaux I'll be back for sure. Hopefully they can expand and offer a wider variety of classes on wine -- I'd do them all. Thanks for a fun and memorable afternoon! :)
