Solène gave us an incredible tour of the winery and expertly guided us through the wine blending workshop. The experience was both unique and amazing, with Solène’s knowledge and passion making it truly special. Highly recommended!

Our guide was charming young lady who brought great vibrance & patience to our blending. It became very clear when trying other amateur ’enologists’ the complexing of getting the ratio’s correct.
Great Authentic Tour

A great find for an authentic viewing of the whole wine experience. Solen was a fantastic, knowledgable and generous host, and we thoroughly enjoyed creating our own wine and exploring the vinyard.
Wow.. a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful time at Chateau Saint-Barbe with Solène. She was an excellent guide and showed us the around the property before bringing us to our tasting. We learned a lot about wine and had a complete blast blending and bottling our own! The tour is great for the value. We took the bus from Bordeaux--it was straightforward and the bus drops you off very close to the Chateau. Solène accommodated our bus schedule, allowing us to start and end early.
Amazing experience!

It was an excellent experience. Solne was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were the only attendants on that day and she gave us a very interesting tour of the vineyards and the chateau. Afterwards we enjoyed a lot the experience of the blending workshop and came back home with a bottle of our own blended wine. Definitely recommended!
Much better than a standard wine tasting

This was so much fun and way more interesting than a wine tasting. We tasted 5 different wines, were given enough wine to create a blend that each of us liked and then created our very own blended bottle of wine!! How many tastings do you go to where you can take a bottle home with you? And you know you like it because you created it!! We came up with our own wine label and corked it after adding our blend into a bottle. Highly recommend!! Only downside, you have to get yourself out to the winery, which is 40min outside of Bordeaux.

It was a great experience. We were the only visitors that day and we had all their attention. We blended 6 different Merlot wines all from the vineyard but different years spanning 11 years. It was great to learn what happens when the wine matures how the color changes, how the tannins change and new flavors develop as the wine matures. It was one of the more memorable things we did in Bordeaux.
