Cecilia really knows her topic, the place and the attention were unique! ❤️ We loved all the explanation!

My husband and I chose this experience as it was not too long and we are not really big wine drinkers so thought this would be a good one for us. Cecilia was amazing, she was warm, friendly and welcoming. She has a vast knowledge of the wines and the regions which they are produced. We tried 4 wines to start with, 2 red and 2 white. I mentioned that I mainly drink a Rose if having wine and she let us try 2 rose wines also. We got a small board of cheeses and meats to pair with the wines which made the wines taste so different the second time around. We had the wine tasting in the cellar which was beautiful and made the experience also. If you are in Bordeaux this is a MUST, if we were to visit again we would have no hesitation but to do this experience again 10/10. We also had great communication before from Cecilia on where to find the place etc. Thank you so much Cecilia for a fun time.

Interesting and in depth course. Mathilde was very passionate about wine and it was a lot of fun. It was presented in a small cozy environment - good for couples.

All six of us really enjoyed our wine-tasting with Cecilia. Wine lovers with very little knowledge, she talked us through wine appreciation and tasting, and it was a bit of a revelation! Loved her little cellar, her chat and choice of wines, the accompanying nibbles. She was brilliant. We highly recommend this to anyone wanting more understanding of wonderful Bordeaux wines.

Cécilia made the experience both educational and enjoyable; we got to learn the different smells and flavors in wine as well as the art of wine pairing. Definitely found a new appreciation for the complexities of wine. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about wine in a friendly and inviting atmosphere! On my list next time we visit Bordeaux!
