Vincent was great! He did perfect mix of informative presentation and wine tasting. We really enjoyed it. We left knowing something new. And we were also happy with great wine selection and delicious appetizers. Doing it in one hour was also beneficial since we didn't have much time.

Our host was very knowledgable and gave a great introduction to Bordeaux wines, which is one of the more complicated regions to learn about. It was great preparation for our full-day wine tour the next day! We tasted three wines, which is pretty standard, but that included a blind tasting and a fun aroma kit activity, which made this experience stand out from the norm. A nice platter of local meats and cheeses was also provided. Although the session only lasted 1 hour, we never felt rushed. We also really liked that Olala have their own dedicated space in the city, rather than just having to sit at a table in the back of a bar or a restaurant. It's small but brightly lit, and crucially the tables are white... if you've done wine tasting before, you'll know why that makes life a lot easier!
