    Ani and Sean had lots of knowledge to share. I learned a lot about the different kinds of wine grown in the Bordeaux region and was happy to support their vision of sharing wines made by women vintners. A beautiful way to pass the afternoon.

    Cas was a great host: very knowledgeable and able to address the interests of both knowledgeable wine consumers and novice wine consumers. This is a great tour for folks who do not have a lot of time in Bordeaux or as a prelude to an all day winery tour in the region.

    This was a great tour around Bordeaux’s wine area and is very handy if your time is limited in Bordeaux. Our guide Caz was very knowledgeable on the local area and its wines. Finished off with a great tasting session.

    Was so amazing! Made our trip! We only were in bordeaux for a day so Ani went out of his way to show us the whole city and extended the tour an hour! It was so interactive and interesting. The wine was amazing and pours were soooo generous! Came with a generous amount of cheese, meat, and bread to pair the wines with. Ended up only being us on tour so it was private. Ani was a great teacher and taught us so much about the city and the city wine!

    It was a dreary day, but Caz showed us around the Chartron streets with interesting facts and capped it with an insightful tasting and a delightful venue. He was friendly and helpful!
