Helpful introduction at a reasonable price
We knew nothing about Bordeaux wines when we arrived in the city, and so we knew we wanted a brief introduction to get us started. This was a helpful way to get a baseline amount of information, which we then used to choose other wine-tourism activities. We were in a session with a handful of other English-speaking tourists, which was fun as well. The host also had excellent recommendations for bars (go to Bar a Vin!).
Very Informative
A very enjoyable and informative hour on Bordeaux wine in a relaxed atmosphere. Best part was definitely the blind smelling of different aromas.
Great
It was great, we've learned a lot on this introduction. We had fun and our sommelier did a great job. We had a smelling game as well to guess the aroma of 6 type. If you don't have the time to go to the vineyards, this is a good alternative to try!
