Ready to share a unique moment with us?
The École du Vin de Bordeaux is, above all, a human and sensory experience.
Every year, our passionate instructors introduce more than 120,000 curious learners and enthusiasts around the world to the richness and diversity of Bordeaux wines and terroirs.
OUR
Mission
To take you to the heart of Bordeaux wines — wherever you may be.
Our purpose is simple: to give you the keys to understanding and appreciating the many nuances of our wines, before perhaps setting off one day to explore the vineyards yourself.
How?
Through hands‑on workshops, friendly guided tastings and accessible introductions designed for everyone.
These flexible sessions — from 90 minutes to a full day — are crafted to suit every audience, whatever their level.
We welcome you in a warm, inviting setting in the heart of Bordeaux, just above the city’s iconic Wine Bar.
