What you’ll do

We don't believe in "cookie-cutter" travel experiences and neither should you! We provide the most personalized and unique experience possible, meaning every tour we give is never the same. With the exception of a few must-try foods, the rest is built around what you're curious about tasting. In addition to our small group sizes, you will be 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 walk you through the regions of French wine? Our guides can do this because they are food professionals - former chefs, food writers, and wine experts - not a student who has memorized a script. We have selected only the highest quality shops to showcase some of the best France has to offer. Come hungry as portion sizes are generous!

Itinerary

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.
