About this tour

You'll wander past seven landmarks whilst picking up insider tips on where locals actually eat, finishing with a guide to the city's best tables. It's equal parts indulgence and storytelling.

- Two hours, central location, no rushing
What to expect
You'll meet Aurélien in the city centre and begin a walking loop that links patisserie stops with wine-and-cheese tastings. Rather than a lecture format, he walks you through how different wines complement various cheeses—you'll taste as you learn. Between bites, he shares stories about Bordeaux's buildings and directs you to neighbourhood restaurants worth returning to. The pace is relaxed; expect to linger over flavours rather than race between points.
Good to know
Bring an appetite but not a full stomach. The guide provides a curated list of restaurants you can use later. Prams and buggies are welcome. Under-18s won't be served alcohol during tastings. Public transport is nearby if you need it.
