What to expect
Expect a leisurely three-hour meander through Bordeaux's bohemian antique district with five or six stops at carefully chosen producers. Your guide will walk you between venues, sharing the area's wine-making history whilst you taste. The morning opens with espresso and pastries in a cellar setting with a cocktail complement; mid-tour you'll visit a working 18th-century bakery and encounter another sweet treat. The finale settles you at a table with thoughtfully selected wines and local cheeses. Tastings shift seasonally, so your experience may differ from others' visits.
Good to know
Eat lightly beforehand—the tastings add up. Strollers are welcome. Public transport nearby if walking feels too much. Gluten-free options aren't available. Seasonal variation means specifics change week to week, so ask your guide about current stops when booking.
