Bordeaux: Wine Masterclass with Cheese and Charcuterie Board

Wine Tasting Workshop in Bordeaux Wine Bar

Join a wine-tasting workshop in central Bordeaux, ideal for beginners and enthusiasts wanting to explore Bordeaux's wines with an expert sommelier.

Description

Participate in an engaging wine-tasting session at a Bordeaux wine bar, located a short walk from the Grand Théâtre. The workshop combines education and enjoyment, guiding you through the region’s wines with no prior knowledge required. Whether you are a novice or experienced, the sommelier adapts the content to your level.

During the session, you will taste six wines, beginning with a glass of white wine following an internationally recognized tasting method. You’ll learn how to analyze different attributes of wine through this structured approach.

The tasting continues with three red wines from distinct Bordeaux grape varieties, offering insight into the Médoc and Libournais appellations, their vineyards, terroir, classifications, and blending techniques.

The session concludes with a blind tasting of two Grand Vins de Bordeaux—from the left and right banks—including a Grand Cru, allowing you to test your newly acquired tasting skills.

A platter of local charcuterie and cheeses is served alongside the wines, introducing you to basic wine and food pairing principles. Expert sommeliers are available throughout to answer questions and explain Bordeaux’s wine heritage.
