Wine Masterclass 19/10/2026

It 's been approximately one month since our first-ever wine masterclass at "OLALA Bordeaux" with our exceptional sommelier Mr. Hugo! He described thoroughly all the process and steps of wine tasting, the differences between wine varieties, such as "Sauvignon Blanc", "Merlot", "Cabernet Franc" and "Cabernet Sauvignon" as well as the origins of each wine variety and the history of the town of Bordeaux. During our 2-hour masterclass, we tasted all of the above wines which were accompanied by a "plateau de fromages et charcuteries" and we also had the chance to try and guess which bottle of wine was served to our glasses (blind taste) and we did very well!! Thank you very much for this wonderful experience, and of course all of our co-tasters at that wine masterclass! It was an amazing experience and we hope to do it again in the future, either in France or our homeland Greece! Au revoir!

Hugo is an exceptional instructor. Keeps everything low key and friendly. Tailors the level of dialogue to the students level of knowledge. Very informative with plenty of tasting tips. Quality wines used for the learning process. If i were there, I would sign up for more classes with this group for more Masterclass level courses.

Very limited food and the six wines that you can try are actually four and a mix of two that you have already tasted. What a joke…
