Founded in 1993, Cousin & Compagnie is one of the oldest independent wine cellars in Bordeaux and a pioneer in the introduction and commercialization of biodynamic and natural wines since the mid-2000s.
Firmly convinced that the preservation of our natural heritage also depends on vineyard and winery practices, at Cousin & Compagnie, 90% of our selection consists of organic, biodynamic, or natural wines from family estates or independent winemakers.
Visiting our Bordeaux cellar means discovering rare gems from all over France and abroad, whether they are Grand Crus or “friend wines.” A true cabinet of curiosities, Cousin & Compagnie can satisfy both novices and connoisseurs, as well as those seeking unique finds.

Overall 4 stars, would have 5 stars if the lunch was edible
We liked the winery/Chateau wine tastings and tours, they were very informative and the country side was beautiful.
The guide was excellent.
We felt the tour could have been a better experience if the lunch was edible, as we felt the extra we paid for the lunch was not good value.
There were other tours around 100 Euro that did not include a lunch.
I also experienced a fall from a rotted chair at lunch. A number of chairs were in poor condition at this Chateau, which need to be rectified for future tourist safety.
The Saint Emillion Township was beautiful and we liked it very much.

Great City Pass
Loved the city and the pass allows you to experience the best of it.
The pass could benefit from becoming more online, ie so that you don't have to visit the Tourist Office to pick up the travel pass and city pass.
If you are staying quite away from the tourist office but you could download at least the travel pass then you could more easily get to the tourist office to pick up the rest and make any reservations, customers could also activate the travel pass so they can use it immediately when getting off the train and maybe even the airport.

Brilliant!
Our guide was so good, she explained everything in perfect English....thank you! We learnt so much and it also helped us find out way around the city during the week using the landmarks we visited on the tour. You have to do this walking tour when in Bordeaux.

BEST BOOKING OF ENTIRE TRIP
If you’re going to the vineyards, this is only way to do it. Everything about this was phenomenal.

City Pass
The pass is not used in isolation for most attractions and still requires presentation, ticket and often a booking. So it is not as simple as it might be. The tourist information were not great with explaining things and we missed the boat cruise as we waited at the wrong departure point.
All in all it is very useful if used over longer periods and needs some planning to obtain full benefits.
Answer from Monsieur l'Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole
Hello Mr. Outlaw, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your comment. Although your 5-star rating and comments are mixed, we hope that you still found the CityPass offer useful. We regret to hear that you were unable to obtain all the necessary information for the few items requiring a reservation when you visited our ticket office, as well as at the cruise pick-up point. However, our team is committed to providing you with all the information you need to avoid this type of inconvenience. The pass is a convenient alternative, giving you access to all museums and monuments as well as public transportation at any time and without reservation. Only the city tour and certain bonus options need to be pre-booked with us or directly with the sites, but these are optional compared to the museums. We hope that you still had a good stay, and we look forward to welcoming you back to our city. Best regards, The Bordeaux Métropole Tourist Office and Convention Bureau team
