You’ll start the food tour with a young baker making bread and viennoiserie on site. See croissants being rolled and folded before you try one of France’s most beloved pastries, and learn how it made its way to Bordeaux.
Afterward on your food tour is Bordeaux’s emblematic canelé, a sweet treat with strong ties to the famous wine region. You'll visit a small, owner-operated pâtisserie that makes fresh canelés daily with natural ingredients.
You'll pass by the medieval Cathedral of Saint André, the most beautiful religious monument in Bordeaux where the future king of France Louis VII was married. Marvel at the gold-topped tower of Pey-Berland before continuing to your next foodie stop. Weave through the charming streets, stopping at a typical café-brasserie just meters from the Bordeaux city hall. You'll be served a homemade plat du jour, the daily special, showcasing local ingredients and the chef's creativity.
Next stop: cheese. No food tour of France would be complete without it. Led by a specialist cheesemonger, learn the differences in French terroir in a country that produces over 1200 cheeses. After that, reach the famous Triangle d’Or quarter and visit an artisanal chocolate shop open since 1915.
Finish up in a local’s wine bar and learn everything you need to know about French regional wines in a tasting of three local wines. Ask all your wine questions to two friendly brothers—they’ll be leading the tasting and telling you their opinions on wine too!
