What to expect
Your guide will lead you on foot through historic Bordeaux streets, pausing at carefully selected restaurants and food shops. At each stop, you'll eat a course or tasting portion—wine paired with savoury dishes, then sweets—and hear details about local producers, preparation methods, and regional stories. The pace is leisurely; expect about 40–50 minutes of walking interspersed with eating time. By the tour's end, you'll have consumed a full meal's worth across four venues. The guide may switch between English and French, and will accommodate vegetarian preferences if notified beforehand.
