This was a absolutely wonderful experience! Both wines and cheeses were incredible! We had three glasses of wine and three different cheese boards for each wine with 5 samples on each!! Well worth the money! I would recommend this class to everyone. The restraint this class is held in is so beautiful and even has a cheese cellar you can go look at underneath!

This was a great mini class was not super in depth but a good over view of knowledge. We did this small class and the next day had a tour booked to St e million and it was helpful to have a little base knowledge before I big tour. The instructor was friendly and the assortment of meat and cheese was delicious and paired well with the wines.

Wonderful experience! Visiting 3 chateaus was amazing and with a trip to the Saint Emilion town it was definitely worth the price. Would highly recommend!

Julie did a phenomenal job for my family on our tour, working with a diverse group of people with varying levels of knowledge and wine expertise.

Great experience with Olala! Very knowledgeable hosts to make the experience enjoyable, and great wine & charcuterie pairings.
