Unique Bordeaux Experience. - We had done several wine tours around Bordeaux but we still learned something new here! Guides were funny and wonderful. I would recommend the make your own bottle of wine as it was a fun and nice souvenir and didn’t take too long to make. I would do this experience again!

Can't get much better... - This was excellent from start to finish. Price vs Experience = excellent. This was one of the few things that is priced correct in France - not too expensive and not too cheap. The tasting was good, all 3 were good choices and had diversity. The blend of people showing up were great. The blind tasting was a good choice, we do this in North America. Making your own wine was fun and it was explained very well. I would say of everything it's hard to pick a weak point. They might add a 4th or 5th choice to making wine, a small percentage. For example, up to 10% petit verdot or pinot or gamay. It's so good, it's hard to find a negative.

They keep the brothers safe! - Complete workshop with friends: discovery of the stories of Bordeaux grape varieties, tasting and wine blending course... plus we leave with our bottle! Simplicity, good humor and passion shared brilliantly by Pierre and Geoffroy. An experience to absolutely live!

The Coolest Experience. - This was the coolest experience. I wish every trip had something similar. I learned so much and even got to bring home wine that we made. This was the highlight of Bordeaux.

Bordeaux’s best experience - WOW! This was definitely the highlight of our trip! Not only did we get to learn about the wine regions in a fun & hands-on way, but we got to get creative and blend ourselves! I want to thank these two brothers for the craic (as we say in Ireland). Would highly highly recommend to anyone visiting Bordeaux!

Amazed at how much we learned! - This was an in-depth class in Bordeaux wines. It's not just a sip and dash. We learned about how to tell the difference between to various wines of the area with a guided tasting, then an assisted tasting, and then a blind tasting to give us a chance to use what we've learned. I feel a lot more confident about judging the Bordeaux wine I was drinking the rest of the trip. And then using the knowledge we acquired, it was fun to make our own bottle to our personal tastes.
