Guidekin's take

A small group session with a sommelier that moves from tasting technique and aroma recognition to a blending workshop where you make your own cuvée, seven wines poured and a platter of cheese, meat and chocolate on the table.

It runs in English only and hotel pickup is not part of it. 4.91 from 113 reviews at €45 per person for 1h 30m.

Best for: Choose a sommelier's blending workshop with seven wines and a platter at €45 per person for 1h 30m; English only. 4.91, 113 reviews. Wine Tastings & Classes comparison

Trade-off: English only; a platter, not a meal.
