About this tour
Wander Bordeaux's medieval lanes with a local guide who knows where the best food hides. Over 3.5 hours, you'll taste your way through seven carefully chosen stops: buttery pastries, aged cheeses, house-made chocolates, crispy cannelés, and regional wines finished in an intimate cellar tasting. Everything's included, the groups stay small (eight people maximum), and your guide adapts the pace to what the group enjoys.

What to expect
You'll walk at an easy pace through Bordeaux's oldest quarters, stopping frequently to eat and chat. Your guide shares stories about the city's wine heritage and food traditions without lecturing. Expect to taste genuinely good regional produce—proper cannelés, not tourist versions—and spend a generous amount of time in a cellar sampling wines that pair with whatever's on your plate. The group stays small enough that you're never shuffled through like a coach party. Bring comfortable shoes and an appetite.
