We don't believe in "cookie-cutter" experiences and neither should you! We provide the most personalized tours possible, meaning every tour we give is never the same. With the exception of a few must-try foods, the rest is built around YOU and what you're curious about tasting.

Groups are kept small and led by an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Did you know baguettes are some of the worst bread in France and you should be asking for something else? Did you know there are seasons for cheese? Would you like to have someone explain the regions of French wine? Our guides can do this because they are former chefs, food writers, and wine experts - not a student who has memorized a script.

You'll be strolling through Old Bordeaux, with its magnificent medieval architecture and cobblestone streets, sampling the best Bordeaux has to offer. We have selected only the highest quality shops to showcase. Come hungry as portion sizes are generous!

What To Expect

1

Grosse Cloche

The tour lasts approximately 3 hours and is divided into two parts. The first half has you visiting the best artisanal shops in the city - specifically an artisanal bakery, fromagerie, butcher and cannele pastry shop. You will sample a few items along the way but the main event happens during the second half of the tour. You will enjoy a seated wine, cheese and charcuterie pairing for a blowout finish at a wine cellar/wine shop. As we are walking, we'll point out a few historical landmarks in Old Town Bordeaux from the Camino de Santiago to the Grosse Cloche - one of the most recognized monuments of Bordeaux.

Our standard tour starts at the Cinema Utopia and is about 1 km broken up over a leisurely hour and half, before the seated wine pairing. There are spots to sit and rest along the way and the distance can even be further reduced if there is someone on the tour who is elderly or mobility impaired.

    This Bordeaux food tour was a highlight of our trip to France so far. Our tour guide Diane was incredibly prepared, knowledgeable, organized and fun. She provided so much interesting information in the way of Bordeaux history and the foods, while all the while feeding us, and building up to a charcuterie, cheese and wine finale. The tour more than met our expectations and I would highly recommend it.

    Our tour was during the heat wave in Bordeaux. We thought about canceling and looking for air conditioning, but we are so glad we didn't. Our guide Alexandria was sensitive to the heat and we walked in the shade at a leisurely pace. We picked up cheese, meats, desserts and breads and went to a lovely wine shop where we ate, drank, and laughed. Tom the shop owner along with Alexandria hosted a wonderful gathering. For me, sitting and tastings and sipping is much nicer than walking and having samples. This is the food and wine tour to take.
