What to expect

You'll start at 11 am in the old town and move between family-run food spots and wine merchants on a flat, walkable route. Your guide will point out why Menton sits at a culinary crossroads and how Italian and Provençal traditions mingle in the kitchen here. You'll stand or sit while sampling dishes and wines in small portions—enough to know what you're eating, not a full meal. The walk covers less than a kilometre at a relaxed pace, finishing with dessert and digestif. Vegetarian options available on request.
