Ani and Sean had lots of knowledge to share. I learned a lot about the different kinds of wine grown in the Bordeaux region and was happy to support their vision of sharing wines made by women vintners. A beautiful way to pass the afternoon.

Cas was a great host: very knowledgeable and able to address the interests of both knowledgeable wine consumers and novice wine consumers. This is a great tour for folks who do not have a lot of time in Bordeaux or as a prelude to an all day winery tour in the region.

JohnCass

This was a great tour around Bordeaux’s wine area and is very handy if your time is limited in Bordeaux. Our guide Caz was very knowledgeable on the local area and its wines. Finished off with a great tasting session.

Ashley_L

Was so amazing! Made our trip! We only were in bordeaux for a day so Ani went out of his way to show us the whole city and extended the tour an hour! It was so interactive and interesting. The wine was amazing and pours were soooo generous! Came with a generous amount of cheese, meat, and bread to pair the wines with. Ended up only being us on tour so it was private. Ani was a great teacher and taught us so much about the city and the city wine!

It was a dreary day, but Caz showed us around the Chartron streets with interesting facts and capped it with an insightful tasting and a delightful venue. He was friendly and helpful!

Curious305544

A really enjoyable tour with some lovely sights of Bordeaux and ending in wine and cheese (included in the price) . Our guide was very informative and shared his extensive knowledge with us. The tour was expected to take a specific route including La Cité du Vin, Pont Jacques Chaban Delmas and Pont de Pierre, however none of these significant locations were visited and for the price per person of this tour, this was disappointing.

Caz was a great guide for the wine walking tour. This was a walking tour specific to learning about wines in the Bordeaux region with a tasting at the end. We had a great day out and enjoyed learning about Bordeaux wines. At the end we tasted two white wines and two red wines with three types of cheese and bread, these were all lovely wines! We would recommend this tour.
