Blind Wine & Cheese Tasting in Bordeaux
Know your natural wines? Or are you just good at reading bottles? Challenge your taste buds!
Think you can tell a Merlot from a Malbec? Let’s see how cocky you feel with a blindfold on. Sip your way through Bordeaux’s finest reds, whites, and rosés in a playful blind tasting that’ll challenge your palate and your pride. Learn quirky tips from a local wine expert, discover hidden gems beyond the big-name châteaux, and test your senses in a fun, social setting.

With a blindfold (or discreetly hidden bottles), you’ll be guided through a tasting of four distinct Bordeaux wines that could surprise even seasoned wine lovers.
Palate Games & Local Secrets
As you swirl, sniff, and sip, your guide will share playful tips on how to truly taste wine, while sprinkling in stories about Bordeaux’s vineyards, quirky traditions, and legendary vintages. It’s equal parts fun and educational, no boring lectures, just laughter, good company, and maybe a little competitive guessing.
The Big Reveal
At the end, the labels are unveiled: were you spot-on, or did you mistake a Grand Cru for a humble table wine? Either way, you’ll walk away with sharper tasting skills, new wine wisdom, and a story worth bragging about back home.
