Explore Toulouse Wine Bars with a Local Wine Expert

About this tour

Spend two and a half hours discovering Toulouse's wine bars alongside a certified French Wine Scholar, tasting regional varieties from southwest France while learning proper tasting technique. You'll sample about three glasses of wine—think Négrette, Mauzac, and Braucol—paired with local charcuterie and cheese across several intimate venues in the city centre. This isn't a formal tasting; it's a relaxed evening built around the apéro tradition, where locals gather before dinner. By the end, you'll understand what you actually enjoy drinking and feel confident ordering wine anywhere.

What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the first wine bar and move through two or three venues over the evening, each offering a different selection. Expect to stand and mingle as the scholar walks you through each wine's origins, flavour profile, and what makes southwest French varieties distinctive. Questions are actively encouraged—this is about building your palate and confidence, not lecturing. Between tastings, you'll nibble on proper charcuterie and cheese that complement what you're drinking. The pace is unhurried; it's the apéro vibe, after all.
