Last minute booking turned into highlight of our holiday

5.00A enjoyable mother and daughter afternoon with an exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly host who didn't make us feel like the complete wine novices we were. This was our only full day in Dijon and we hadn't realised that most of the attractions are closed on a Tuesday. We booked this wine tasting very last minute but it has turned out to be the highlight of our holiday. Thank you Matt.

5.00Perfect activity for a sunday! A very informative and yet fun session. WIne tasting with independent private estates that you probably will not be able to have access to and very near the city center .
A different type of wine tasting

5.00If you are looking to not only taste great wines that are specific to this region but also learn what to smell, look and taste for while exploring different wines, Matthieu’s knowledge and enthusiasm about wines is perfect. We could have spent hours asking more about the Dijon wine industry; Matthieu’s depth of knowledge is amazing. The wine cave location gives this experience a very comfortable and cozy vibe, we loved and learned so much about pairing wine with different cheeses mostly from larger regions in and around Dijon. This is one of the best wine “education” tasting I’ve ever attended. He made learning about wines and their characteristics fun, interactive and engaging…and we had great conversations in addition to the wines. I grew up in the California wine country but have never been to a wine tasting like this, well worth the time.

5.00Small, relaxed tasting. Matthieu shares the complicated rules surround the various crus in a an easy-to-understand overview. He sets up the tasting by sharing various scents to tune your nose to various wine aromas like terroir, fruit, spice & floral. Walked away with a better understanding of wine characteristics & new knowledge of Burgundy wines. Matthieu also provided recommendations for wine venues in nearby cities, and shared shipping info so we were able to aggregate other purchases in one shipment. Highly recommend.

5.00My wife and I had the most enjoyable and enlightening wine class with Matt at The Wine Compass. It was easily one of the best wine experiences we’ve ever had. Matt’s passion for wine is infectious — he explains everything with warmth, clarity, and enthusiasm. We learned how to identify notes, aromas, and flavours in both young and mature wines, and how to assess them according to our own tastes. The setting is beautiful, the wines and pairings were superb, and the whole experience was both educational and great fun. If you’re curious about Burgundy wines or simply want to deepen your appreciation for them, this is an absolute must in Dijon.
