Bordeaux: Guided Food Tour & Tastings

Additional Information & Description

Bordeaux’s food tour brings regional specialties and street food together on a walk through the city centre. The appeal is the range: a tasting route that moves between savoury dishes, baked treats and sweet surprises rather than focusing on a single speciality.

From fresh oysters to cannelés

Tastings can include fresh oysters, a platter of charcuterie and cheese, burgers and focaccia, with cannelés adding a distinctly local sweet note. That mix gives the walk a broader scope than a tour devoted only to traditional dishes. Seasonal products may change what you taste along the route, while the quality and quantity remain consistent. Expect variety, with both familiar street-food favourites and regional flavours contributing to the selection.

Meet the people behind the food

Local guides introduce Bordeaux’s food culture as you walk its central streets. Encounters with local chefs bring the regional cuisine into focus, with explanations of traditional cooking methods alongside the chance to taste local delicacies. The conversation adds context to the food: not just what is served, but how it is prepared and the traditions behind it.

A three-and-a-half-hour guided walk

The tour lasts three hours and 30 minutes, giving the food-focused outing a substantial place in your Bordeaux itinerary. Your ticket includes the guided food tour, a live guide and food tastings. Live guiding is available in English and French. The activity is wheelchair accessible.
