Not much wine OR food
Very disappointing. Expected walk around and taste different wines and foods at different places. Sat in a room with a young man who didn’t have much personality
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your comment, unfortunately you have booked the wrong activity... We also have a 3-hour food tour in Bordeaux, but you booked the wine tasting. The tasting takes place with a wine merchant and 3 different vintages to taste. A unique opportunity to drink old vintages in Bordeaux. I would suggest that you read the descriptions of the activities carefully before booking them to avoid this kind of situation. Thank you

Great experience!
It was an amazing tasting! The wines were quite varied which made it interesting. Learned in-depth knowledge about the vintages of the wines tasted. Would highly recommend! Easy to find the location and staff was very friendly.

An interesting study of older vintage wines
A very enjoyable and informative hour where we tasted 4 wines of varying ages and levels. Our host was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Two of the wines were around 30 years old and two about 15. We were also provided with cheese and charcuterie. A very interesting exercise and heartily recommended.

Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bordeaux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bordeaux is not rushed.
Is Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bordeaux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bordeaux and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bordeaux Wine Tasting – Discover Old Vintages start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bordeaux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bordeaux?
+
On Outty we rank every Bordeaux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch, Saint-Émilion Afternoon Tour - 2 Grand crus & French apéritif, Graves & Saint-Emilion Wine Tour | 3 Châteaux & Gourmet Picnic. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bordeaux?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
