The Cellar Master
An exciting wine profession: the cellar master
Wine cab offers you the opportunity to discover this fascinating wine profession. A 3-hour workshop will take you on the roads of the Médoc, to meet a professional. It’s a participative experience so you’ll get your hands dirty… in the blending process rather!
After the visit of the family domain, enter the skin of the cellar master. Start by tasting the different grape varieties in order to understand their specificity and their contribution to the composition of Bordeaux wines. The exercise will then consist of creating a cuvée yourself by subtly blending 2 or 3 main grape varieties among Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
Once your blend is complete, you will be able to leave with the bottle of wine you created and you will be proud to share it with your friends when you return home.
Depending on the availability of our partner châteaux, this workshop can be offered in the Médoc or in the « Entre 2 Mers » appellation. The Entre-deux-Mers vineyard is a region of the Bordeaux vineyard, located between the Garonne and the Dordogne rivers, where you will discover very hilly and green landscapes.
