# Bordeaux Wine Masterclass: Blending workshop with appetizer

**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.

**Blend your own?:** 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. Trade-off: English only; a platter, not a meal. (last checked September 22, 2026)
