Burger and Bordeaux: The Best Wine Tasting London Experience You Can't Miss
Bordeaux might be one of the world's most famous French wine regions, but for most of us it's also one of the least understood. That's exactly why we're teaming up with Liam D'Arcy, aka The Wine Wally, to take on wine's big boss: Bordeaux (with burgers, naturally).
In partnership with Bordeaux Wines, we're tackling this legendary French wine region the sensible way: through six brilliant Bordeaux wines (plus a welcome drink), five mini burgers, one dessert, and a relaxed, hands-on wine tasting format designed to make the best Bordeaux feel a whole lot more approachable.
Why This Wine Tasting in London UK is Different
Liam D'Arcy will skip the jargon, sharing Bordeaux cheat codes that helped him when he was first trying to wrap his head around the region. You'll leave with a better grip on how to approach, taste and enjoy French wine like a true connoisseur. This isn't your typical wine tasting London experience - it's designed to make one of the most intimidating French wine regions accessible to everyone.

Understanding Bordeaux: France's Most Famous Wine Region
Wine's Answer to World Domination
The 30th of August marked Cabernet Sauvignon Day, which feels rather fitting for a grape that's basically conquered the world. You'll find this absolute unit of a red grape on every continent except Antarctica (though give it some time).
However, Bordeaux is very much the OG region where Cabernet Sauvignon learned to throw its weight around. It's here where you'll find some of the most savoury and age-worthy expressions of the grape that'll make your cellar weep tears of joy.
What Makes the Best Bordeaux So Special
This isn't your soft-spoken, fruity little number. Bordeaux wine is the wine equivalent of an aged leather armchair in a smoky jazz bar. Think ripe black fruit, a firm grip of tannins, and just enough oak to remind you of your grandad's old oak chest.
The Perfect Bordeaux Wine Pairings
Best paired with:
Steak so rare it's still telling stories from the farm
Rainy evenings and long conversations
A bold "yes" to life
Cheers to the grape that never learned the meaning of "too much".
Why This French Wine Region Dominates
Among all French wine regions, Bordeaux stands out for its incredible diversity and consistent quality. From the Left Bank's powerful Cabernet Sauvignon blends to the Right Bank's elegant Merlot-based wines, Bordeaux wine offers something for every palate.
