Additional Information & Description
Bordeaux’s morning food tour begins at a local boulangerie known for its chocolatine. This three-hour guided walk puts regional food at the centre of the visit, starting with a bakery stop before moving on to the city’s market and old town.
Charcuterie, Arcachon oysters and local cheese
At the market, sample regional charcuterie, then try fresh oysters from Arcachon Bay with a glass of white wine. Alternatives are available for this part of the tasting. Local cheeses follow, with guidance from a top cheesemonger that adds specialist knowledge to the selection. These stops bring several distinct parts of the region’s cuisine into the same morning: cured meats, seafood and cheese, each introduced in the context of the market.
Old-town history and Bordeaux wine production
The walk through Bordeaux’s old town adds historical context between food stops. Your guide introduces a city with roots in Roman times and explains its 18th-century port legacy, tied to wine and trade. The route makes room for the city’s past alongside its regional cooking.
The tour finishes with a winery visit focused on Bordeaux wine production. After the market tastings and old-town walk, this final stop turns attention to how the region’s wine is made.
