Amazing Time - We had an amazing time.. it was a really chilled, intimate, clean and comfortable environment. the lady who led it was very informative, clear, friendly and just had a nice vibe. Good choice of wines and explanations - we had cheeses and bread as well which was nice. At the end she gave us a list of places she recommended to us to visit which was really nice of her. I would definitely do this or something similar again. Nice introduction to wine tasting.

Noah was excellent - Our (recently qualified) sommelier Noah was absolutely excellent in the way he helped us understand the wines of Bordeaux and the complexities of wine tasting - and how to get better at it (without having to keep drinkning loads of wine too). Very entertaining and educational - I would highly recommend

Tasty and quick intro to Bordeaux wines! - Vincent was great! He did perfect mix of informative presentation and wine tasting. We really enjoyed it. We left knowing something new. And we were also happy with great wine selection and delicious appetizers. Doing it in one hour was also beneficial since we didn't have much time.

Great way to learn about Bordeaux wines - Our host was very knowledgable and gave a great introduction to Bordeaux wines, which is one of the more complicated regions to learn about. It was great preparation for our full-day wine tour the next day! We tasted three wines, which is pretty standard, but that included a blind tasting and a fun aroma kit activity, which made this experience stand out from the norm. A nice platter of local meats and cheeses was also provided. Although the session only lasted 1 hour, we never felt rushed. We also really liked that Olala have their own dedicated space in the city, rather than just having to sit at a table in the back of a bar or a restaurant. It's small but brightly lit, and crucially the tables are white... if you've done wine tasting before, you'll know why that makes life a lot easier!
