You will not regret this experience. Book it now! - Our wine sommelier was the best. He showed us the history of wine in Bordeaux and even answered our questions on wine from other places of the world. He related our little knowledge of wine to what he was talking about making the class interactive and engaging. I really appreciated this Masterclass. The wine and charcuterie board were impeccable!

Would not recommend - If I could leave 0 I would. This place had a very foul odor. It was very hot, and everyone there complained about how uncomfortably warm it was. And the employee making our food was sneezing consistently and blew his nose without cleansing his hands after. I reached out to Viator for feedback and the business denied all claims. Avoid. It is a tourist trap and frankly overpriced.
