Review by: Christopher R	March 2012
We enjoyed our experience. The atmosphere, people and leader of the class were great. We learned a lot in a short period of time. We took the class on Sunday evening and the restaurant where the class is held was closed. If I had to do it again I would take it on a night when the restaurant is open so we could transition from the class to a bite to eat in the same place. we bought two of the six bottles we tasted and enjoyed them very much during the week.

Wonderful experience, very enjoyable leader who with wit and humor gave us all an education in the French regions of wine and cheese, their differences and good pairings of the two.

Review by: dbwest	February 2012
Three of us did the French wine tasting for my birthday. This was the highlight of our trip! Our sommelier spoke perfect English, was an expert on French wine and the regions, and had a great sense of humor! Plus, the room is beautiful. Plenty of cheese, meats and bread to go with the tastings. If you want the best, this is the wine tasting for you!

Review by: William L	February 2012
Nice session with only four which allowed much personal attention. Our hostess, Charlotte, was very good and very knowledgeable of wine in general. Would highly recommend this tour particularly if it is at the same location, O Chateau.

Review by: Daniel K	January 2012
This was a great entry into French wines and the sommelier was cool, funny and very knowledgeable. We got lost on the first day and showed up late but they accommodated us and rebooked us for New Years Day. The only challenge was drinking reds after so much champagne on New Year's Eve.

Review by: Charlotte B	January 2012
Really enjoyed the wine tasting, lovely guide and very informative!! One tiny criticism I thought there was going to be cheese a bread supplied but there was not. Highly recommend!!

Review by: Christopher C	January 2012
Information and instruction was good. The group was large, which made it a bit more chaotic once folks got tipsy.

Review by: Joshua C	November 2011
This was probably our favorite thing that my wife and I did while in Paris for 4 days. Our sommelier, Remi, was extremely knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. The wine, bread and cheese were all great. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it!

Review by: Mary	November 2011
This was well worth the money. We tasted 6 wines and learned a lot about French wines. There was a cheese platter available for 10 euros which along with the great french bread really helped us enjoy the wines!

Review by: Elaine M	November 2011
We had a great time. Our sommelier was funny and insightful. We enjoyed our wines and the location where we did the wine tasting was a cozy sub-terrainian dinning room. They give you a basket of bread with your wine and we thought it also included a cheese plate, which it did not, but ordered one separately for $20. The tasting took about 2 hours. A nice way to start your evening then wander out to find a great meal.

Review by: Col	November 2011
This is a perfect way to understand French wine. It was short, but to the point. The ambience is great, and the wines were delicious!

Review by: Tiffany M	November 2011
The wine that was tasted was average but the presenter was very knowledgeable. There was no bread snacks at the wine tasting as mentioned by the description..For the price we should of tasted at least two more wines.

Review by: Dale	November 2011
A very small group this time of year. Host was great with much knowledge to share.

Review by: Catrona P	October 2011
My husband and I very much enjoyed this class. We learned a lot about wines of the region and both feel we can even apply the tasting techniques to our Canadian wines at home. Loved the venue too.

Review by: Judester	October 2011
We loved the wine tasting class, very informative and fun. The location was great, a wine bar near the Louvre, down in the cellar. The sommelier was very friendly and quite funny at times, which made it very interesting!
