Guidekin's take

Riverside stroll, cheese board in our Food Tours comparison.

Trade-off: A tasting with a stroll, not a meal.

Last checked: September 22, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

Overview

Guidekin summary

An hour on foot through the old wine merchant streets of Chartrons and along the river with an in house sommelier, then four Bordeaux wines paired with a cheese platter. Grape varieties and the trade's history are the thread; the route is wheelchair accessible and walking time counts toward the length. 4.87 from 219 reviews at €65 per person.

From the guide

NICE & ENJOYABLE WALKING TOUR TO EXPLORE THE CHARMING NEIGHBOURHOOD OF BORDEAUX WITH OUR IN-HOUSE SOMMELIER WITH WINE & CHEESE TASTING.

This tour is designed by our in-house Sommelier & Wine Expert. He will take you on a stroll through the UNESCO wine merchant streets, many of which are 300 years old. We will walk for almost an hour to discover the neighbourhood of Chartrons and the riverside of Bordeaux while learning about the different grape varieties used in Bordeaux, the important wine regions, how to pick up a bottle in a supermarket or in a restaurant, what is the 1855 classification, how to read a label like a professional, the historical monuments of the district and much more!
At the end of the tour we will put all the theoretical knowledge into practical "learning by tasting"… Cheers!!

PS - We do other tour like "Bordeaux Organic Food Tour (French Apéro style) in Saint Michel area & Best of Bordeaux Walking tour in City centre check them out.
