Bordeaux: Wine Tasting with Gourmet Cheese & Charcuterie Pairings

Dive into the world of Bordeaux wines and learn the fundamentals of professional wine tasting while exploring the richness of one of the world’s most iconic wine regions. This experience introduces you to Bordeaux’s history, appellations, terroirs, grape varieties, blends, and classifications in a way that is both educational and enjoyable.

In a warm and relaxed setting, you’ll discover how to taste wine with confidence, breaking down the process step by step so it feels natural rather than intimidating. Guided by your senses, you’ll learn to recognize aromas, textures, and balance, gaining a deeper appreciation of the finesse and complexity of Bordeaux wines.

The tasting includes a carefully curated selection of wines from both prestigious and family-run estates, ranging from Grand Cru Classé producers to organic wineries, with flexibility to adapt to individual preferences. You’ll taste a diverse lineup featuring one mystery wine, two dry white wines representing the Left and Right Banks, three red wines showcasing different styles and blends, and one sweet wine to complete the journey.

Throughout the experience, you’ll also explore the principles of successful and sometimes surprising food and wine pairings. Cécilia and Mathilde, certified wine professionals trained at the Université du Vin, will share their expertise and passion for wine and gastronomy, making the session both informative and engaging.

To help you continue your learning, you’ll receive a personal tasting booklet to take home. Depending on the season, tastings take place in a private patio, a cool underground cellar, or a fully equipped tasting room available year-round. At the end of the experience, the wines you’ve discovered can be purchased on site, allowing you to extend the pleasure with friends and family.
