Highlight of our Trip!!
By Jodi for Burgundy Wine Masterclass 15 days ago 4.7
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Burgundy Wine Masterclass! Most wine tastings we’ve been to have focused on learning a bit about the winemaker and then the specific wines we tasted - lovely, of course - but the Masterclass also taught us a lot about the region, the winemaking process, and - most unique - using sight, smell, and taste to really explore the wine and what you might pair it with to let the wine truly shine. Matthieu started with a short smell “workshop” to help us identify the “notes” we were likely to smell (and taste) and what brings them out in the wine - and then he circled back to those “notes” during the tasting - such a fun way to get a better understanding of what those wine descriptions mean! Matthieu provided all of the information in a comfortable, friendly, and unpretentious environment. He’s so excited to share his knowledge and love of wine! We enjoyed every minute and would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, educational, and fun wine experience!

Informative and delicious wine tasting
By David Gillett for Burgundy Wine Masterclass 2 months ago 4.7
The wine tasting we did at the Wine Compass was quite nice. The teacher/class leader Pauline was a good communicator - especially in English, which wasn't her first language - helping us understand all of the different complexities of wine in Burgundy. She walked us through all of the key concepts of wine labeling and understanding what one is drinking when opening a bottle. We also did a blind scent game that was fun. Moreover, we had a really nice array of wine to try. Two were stellar (especially for the price) and we took a few bottles of each home.
Excellent Experience
By Renee for Atelier de dégustation "comprendre la Bourgogne" 2 months ago 5.0
This was one of the best wine-tasting experiences I have ever had. Matthieu was friendly and welcoming, and he certainly knew his stuff. The combination of maps, sensory activities, and tasting were as balanced as the wines he chose for us. After several other wine tastings, my friend and I agreed that this was the best, and an outstanding value for the price. Many thanks, Matthieu!
Incroyable !

Je ne peux que vous conseiller d’y aller les yeux fermés ! Matthieu nous accueille dans son caveau avec beaucoup de bienveillance, de gentillesse et d’attention. Matthieu est un œnologue passionné et passionnant ! La dégustation est généreuse et les échanges riches ! Expérience à faire et refaire ! Merci Matthieu !
Delightful and Eye--um, Nose-Opening
By Liz Davidson for Understanding Burgundy" tasting workshop 4 months ago 5.0
I cannot recommend Matthieu's tasting course highly enough. He was friendly and enthusiastic and made something that often seems esoteric accessible and informative. I was delighted with his approach--I had heard of the 'Le Nez du Vin' kits but had never had a chance to play with the essential oils and learn to identify and taste the complex variables in wines. This course greatly expanded my appreciation for the sommelier's art and made going to caves and tastings more intriguing and playful. Matthieu puts his visitors at ease, assuring them that 'the best wine is the one you like.' His course was a highlight of our visit to Dijon and Burgundy and I'm very glad we did this at the beginning of our trip as it opened up my senses to so much possibility. A thousand thank-yous!

Amazing !
By Isabelle for Atelier de dégustation "comprendre la Bourgogne" 5 months ago 5.0
We had a great time! Matthieu is very friendly and clearly very knowledgeable about wine. We managed to taste 6 different wines from Burgundy (3 whites, 3 reds). It was a fantastic experience, and we really appreciated the variety and the expertise shared during the tasting. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore Burgundy's wines!

L'activité chez The Wine Compass s'est déroulée à merveille ! Pauline a été de très bons conseils, à l'écoute et passionnée, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Tout était parfaitement organisé, et nous avons passé un excellent moment. Nous recommandons sans hésiter cette activité et reviendrons sûrement pour tester une autre formule !
