Cheese, Wine and Bread are the holy trinity of the French table with each occupying an important role. We start by visiting one of the most unique bakeries in Bordeaux and see an oven built in 1765 under King Louis XV. You'll learn about traditional bread-making before sampling regional specialties like pain Gascon. From there we visit an artisanal fromagerie to discover the immense world of French cheese where you and your guide will make selections for your tasting. Afterwards, you'll head to a wine shop with one of the largest selections in Southwest France before settling in for a detailed discussion and cheese and wine pairing.
Set in the charming neighborhood of Chartons, you'll discover a part of the city historically known as the wine district. Nowadays this area offers a mix of high-end boutiques, specialty food stores and antique shops and is a favorite among locals.
This tour doubles as lunch for most people.

5.00Alex was very entertaining. He did a good job engaging everyone and trying to meet the diverse needs of the group. One person was lactose intolerant & celiac, yet he was able to meet their needs! He is very knowledgeable and did a good job on the variety of cheezes, breads, sweets, and wines we tasted. There was plenty & we did not need to eat dinner after this.
Best food tour ever.

5.00Our bread, cheese and wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Bordeaux. Our guides Diane and Vanessa enriched our knowledge of French food culture while sharing a fun morning. After visiting a number of different shops we culminated our tour in a wine shop where we paired the bread and cheese with a number of excellent wines. The tour was very personal and educational, I highly recommend this tour.
Fabulous and informative

5.00I had the best time on this tour! We got to start at a bakery with an oven from the 1700s that we got to see close-up before taking a deep dive into the most enlightening and delicious cheese tasting I’ve ever done! The wines were expertly paired and Diane, our guide, created a wonderful vibe in the room that brought everyone on the tour together. I can’t recommend this tour enough!
