The experience
What this event can do
Bring Bordeaux into a private NYC evening with a flight built around blending, style, and the preferences of your guests. Choose an approachable introduction or a more focused red-wine comparison. The proposal identifies the actual labels, service plan, and budget instead of relying on a promise of famous châteaux.
What the proposal should include
- A Bordeaux-focused theme and flight proposal
- Blend and label interpretation
- A seated or dinner-linked schedule
- Opening and glassware plan
- An itemized event scope
Planning notes
Tell us whether guests want a red-only evening or a broader view including white Bordeaux.
Avoid making a bank-to-bank tasting depend on one stereotype. The actual blend, producer, vintage, and maturity all inform the conversation.
For a restaurant event, confirm outside-wine arrangements and who controls the pacing of the kitchen.

Explore how the components work together
Bordeaux is a useful theme for guests who enjoy discussing why wines taste different. A host can use selected examples to explain the role of a blend and encourage guests to describe structure in familiar language. The goal is a conversation everyone can enter, not an exam on estate names.
A client dinner may need just a short introduction between courses. A dedicated tasting can make room for a more detailed comparison, with the wine and food service arranged accordingly.
Choose your Bordeaux brief
A narrower question helps the host spend the wine budget where it adds the most value.
| Direction | Focus | Planning priority |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Blends and readable labels | Accessible explanations and clear contrasts |
| Red comparison | Selected styles side by side | Comparable age and a suitable opening plan |
| Dinner experience | Wine in the context of food | Kitchen timing and a shared service contact |
A thoughtful flight, transparently scoped
Bottle costs can vary substantially, so approve a lineup and substitution policy rather than just a region and headcount. Hosting, venue, food, and rentals should remain visible in the proposal. If you have a particular château in mind, name it early and indicate whether it is essential or simply an inspiration.
Request a proposal with your date, guest range, venue, and learning goal. For a wider tour of France, our French wine tasting offers a different starting point.

Questions
What planners ask first.
Is Bordeaux always red?
No. A Bordeaux event can include white wines as well. Specify whether you want a red-focused comparison or a wider introduction.
Can we compare Bordeaux with Napa?
Yes, that can be requested as a Cabernet-focused or Old World versus New World comparison. The actual bottles and blend differences should be explained.
Can you guarantee a specific château?
Specific bottles are subject to sourcing and approval. We confirm the proposed flight before an event is booked.
