Guidekin's take

A tasting class in the city centre that teaches the method behind judging a Bordeaux, three glasses poured with a board of local cheeses and cold cuts, open to complete beginners.

The wines change with what is open, and under sixteens are not admitted, so families need a private session instead. 4.88 from 189 reviews at €29 per person for 1h.

In our comparison: #7 of 9 in Wine Tastings & Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).

About this tour, from the operator

A casual and playful tasting class in the Bordeaux city center with 3 glasses of wine paired with local cheeses and charcuteries.
A friendly experience open to everyone, whatever the knowledge.

The wines and the schedule may vary, but the quality of the offer will remain the same. Children under 16 and pets are not allowed for the comfort of the group, so a private tour or tasting will be more suitable in your case.
