Very educational and delicious wine - I had a fantastic time and learned a lot from how to taste wine, to how to read a french wine label, to the different grapes in burgundy, to how to tell if a wine has gone bad. The tasting was very interactive and we tried 6 different wines, all paired perfectly with different cheeses and meats. There was something for everyone in this tasting from beginner to advanced level!

Great start for our Burgundy wine region visit - This Master class is a must if you want to understand the culture of wine making in Burgundy. The way of classifying and grading wines in this region is quite unique and very different from California and Toscana wines. We started our tour of Burgundy from this class in Dijon, and it gave us great tools to navigate through the area and enjoy multiple wine tastings. Strongly recommend.

Engaging Wine Tasting Experience with Knowledgeable Host - This wine tasting was great for my girlfriend, her sister, and me. We really enjoyed the experience, and Matthieu is extremely knowledgeable. With great charm and patience, he explains the wines and makes it a lot of fun. The food pairings were very helpful in understanding the characteristics of the wines.
