About this tour
Spend 90 minutes in Bordeaux learning to taste and blend wine like a professional. A sommelier walks you through seven regional wines, teaching you to detect subtle aromas and flavour profiles. You'll nibble on a spread of French cheese, charcuterie and bread, then mix your own custom blend to take home. Relaxed small-group setting, no experience needed.

What to expect
Arrive to find a casual, intimate setting where the sommelier introduces the session and the wines you'll be tasting. You'll work through each pour methodically—looking at colour, swirling, smelling, sipping—picking up practical tips on what to notice. Between tastings, graze on the charcuterie board. The second half shifts to hands-on: you'll blend three or four wines in measured amounts, tasting your creation and adjusting ratios until you're happy with it. Expect to leave with a bottle of your blend and a clearer sense of what makes Bordeaux distinctive.
