Fantastic event with a great host!

Adam Bradford 05/13/2024

I was slightly skeptical at how formal the event would be but the host made it extremely fun whilst still teaching us about the different wines of Bordeaux. The wines were excellent as was the food. Alex was such a good host, very knowledgably and very personable. We all left with a smile on our faces. Thanks Alex!

Bordeaux Wine Masterclass with a local

Lea 03/28/2024

We loved our class! Learnt so much in a very playful matter, the pours were generous and the food was great too. A must before visiting local chateaus.

Wonderful wine tasting experience

Lorraine Convey 01/13/2024

I absolutely loved this wine tasting experience. The location was wonderful, the wine (as well as cheese, chocolate and bread to compliment) was delicious and the sommelier, Jonathan was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I learned so much about the local regional wines and I would highly recommend this experience.

Fun short class

Annie Mueller 07/08/2023

The best part was experiencing Bar A Vin which is beautiful and has delicious cheese, bread, meats, and wine. The class is definitely just the fundamentals but it was really helpful to take before our half day tour to Saint Émilion. Jonathan was great!
