About this tour
Spend 90 minutes in central Bordeaux learning to taste like a local. A wine expert walks you through six regional bottles—one white, five reds—whilst you work through charcuterie and cheese boards, crusty bread, and water. You'll pick up proper tasting vocabulary and develop your palate for what makes Bordeaux wines distinct. The session stays deliberately low-key, built for genuine learning rather than flashy theatrics.

- Six Bordeaux wines: one white, five carefully selected reds
- Local charcuterie and cheese board paired throughout

What to expect
You'll arrive in a relaxed tasting room in Bordeaux's old town. The expert introduces the region's geography and winemaking traditions, then guides you through each pour. You'll taste, observe colour and clarity, nose the glass, sip slowly, and discuss what you notice—no pomposity required. Cheese and charcuterie arrive as you go, designed to complement rather than dominate the wines. Expect roughly 12–15 minutes per wine, with plenty of time for questions.
