Wine, Sweet and Savory Food Private Walking Tour in Bordeaux
A private culinary journey through Bordeaux's most iconic streets and artisan stops
This private food and wine tour in Bordeaux brings together the city's finest artisans, historic landmarks, and centuries-old culinary traditions in a curated three-hour walk through both the vibrant new districts and the UNESCO-listed old town. Every tasting stop is selected with a single standard in mind: quality.
Bordeaux carries a winemaking legacy that stretches back nearly two thousand years, rooted in Roman viticulture and shaped by the medieval alliance between Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine. That history is still alive in the city's cellars, markets, and specialty shops today. Your local guide brings this context to every tasting, grounding each sip and bite in the story of the city.
The itinerary moves between the animated modern quarters and the cobblestone lanes of the old town, passing landmarks such as the Quinconces esplanade, the medieval gates, Saint-Andre Cathedral, and the city hall. The experience is flexible around your schedule and entirely private, meaning the pace, conversation, and curiosity are all your own.
