# Bordeaux Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors

**Guidekin's take:** An old town tasting walk led by a sommelier through family run shops, with a wine and cheese pairing workshop built in and enough food to count as a full meal. It runs as a lunch or an evening version and as a private tour, minors get soft drinks in place of wine, and gratuities are extra. 4.95 from 154 reviews at €105 per person.

In our comparison: #6 of 16 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Discover the rich flavors of Bordeaux on this exclusive gourmet food tour through the heart of the city. Led by Aurélien — a sommelier and former English teacher with a clear and natural accent—this intimate experience, limited to 10 guests, invites you to taste Bordeaux’s most iconic and refined specialties.

Wander through the charming streets of Old Bordeaux, where history and gastronomy go hand in hand. Along the way, enjoy a delicious lineup of local highlights:

• Sample artisan products in family run-businesses such as foie gras, fish rillettes with caviar, charcuterie, and more
• Sip and swirl during a Wine & Cheese pairing workshop led by a sommelier (no prior swirling expertise required)
• Indulge in sweet local treats like the caramelized canelé
• Put your senses to the test with fun sensory challenges

With generous tastings and insider stories throughout, this tour is the perfect way to eat like a local, drink like a connoisseur, and explore Bordeaux one bite at a time.
