Like a winemaker, learn the art of blending Bordeaux grape varieties and create your own bottle of wine!

Blending is a creative winemaking technique that consists of combining different wines to create a superior quality wine that is more balanced and harmonious than each base wine taken separately. The most popular blend is the “Bordeaux Blend,” which very often consists of combining the two most popular grape varieties of Bordeaux: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Their complementarity is such that their blend is known worldwide.

Blending is considered a great art of winemaking. Indeed, oenologists must decipher the qualities of each wine before finding the right combination that will create the most complex and balanced wine possible.

The Be Winemaker Workshop (Bordeaux) gives you the opportunity to learn the art of blending Bordeaux grape varieties so you can create your own bottle of wine from your favorite Bordeaux blend!

To begin, Antoine will help you deepen your knowledge of the two major Bordeaux grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. You will understand their differences and similarities.

Then, you will discover for yourself the benefits of blending these two grape varieties through hands-on practice of this technique. You will be able to measure, combine, and taste these two varieties in different proportions until you find your preferred Bordeaux blend. This way, you can shape the final profile you want to give to your wine.

Once you have determined your preferred blend, you can create your own bottle of wine through the different stages of bottling, corking, capping, and personalizing your label.

You will leave this workshop with a bottle of your own blend, your own “cuvée” created by your own hands. You can then keep this one-of-a-kind bottle as a souvenir or share it with your loved ones.
