Wine Tasting


Both Leila and I have taken WSET 2 and WSET 3 qualifications and are now mid-way through the two year WSET 4 - Diploma. We would like to invite you to a complimentary evening (for 7 night stays or more) where we can take you through what we look for when tasting wine.

Introduction to Wine Tasting

(15 euros per person - free for stays of 7 nights or more)


Aimed at beginners to the world of wine, you are within a stones throw of some of the best wine in the world, countless chateau offer free degustation (tastings) BUT what are you actually tasting for. It's all about understanding why you like a wine, as well as why you might not like one.


Join us as we show you 3 of our favourite wines from the area and let us take you on a relaxed, informal and fun journey; stopping off along the way to look at Balance, Length, Intensity and Complexity.

Journey through Bordeaux

(25 euros per person)



Obviously not all wines are equal, here in a tasting of 5 wines we will show you some of the higher quality wines that give Bordeaux its world wide status.


The famous Bordeaux blended whites that combine Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon to create a smooth textured richness. To the famous reds where you can sample left-bank Cabernet Sauvignon led wines, against right-bank Merlot dominated wines, highlighting the vintner's art of blending to produce the elegant age worthy wines Bordeaux is so known for.


And finishing with a sweet Sauternes wine to remind everyone that while perhaps not so in vogue these are classy wines that shouldn't be over looked.



Afternoon Guide to French Wines

(50 euros per person, min 4 people)


Aimed at all experience levels, for an afternoon, we can take a group of you on a fun whistle stop tour of France - showing the key wine regions and some of their iconic wines. From Alsace to the Rhone valley, taking in whites, reds, rose and bubbles...


With 10 wines tasted from seven of the main wine producing regions we can explore the differences in style, grapes used, climate and wine making processes that allow French wines to express their distinctive terroir.
