About this activity

Meet near Place des Quinconces in Bordeaux’s city center for your 4-hour gourmet food tour. Follow your passionate local guide on a slow-paced walk through the city, admiring the architecture and learning about the history and culinary traditions of Bordeaux along the way.

Start with a visit to a local bakery, where the aromas of fresh-baked French bread linger in the air. Meet the baker and smell the flavors of a handmade baguette fresh out of the oven.

Your next stop is one of Bordeaux’s most famous chocolate makers, whose secret recipes have been kept alive for generations. After meeting the owner, you'll be presented with a variety of chocolates whose flavors range from ginger to green tea to olive. You’ll be delighted by these surprising combinations!

Next, take a ‘Tour de France’ of cheese at a local cheese shop. Learn the know-how of French cheese makers (the masters) and indulge in some of the most classic and beloved French cheeses such as Comté, Roquefort and Brie.

With your taste buds warmed up, your gourmet food tour culminates with a buffet lunch in a typical Bordeaux apartment. Take your seat in the dining room and enjoy a hearty spread of the products you tasted during your tour. Then it's time to savor some canelés, a typical cake of the Bordeaux region, and of course, some local Bordeaux wine. Your tour ends after lunch.

I think that going to the chocolate shop was my favorite stop, we saw how the candies are made, sampled chocolates from around the world and tried some of the chocolate candies as well. It was fascinating to learn how chocolate candies are made from Cocoa bean to candy. We learned a lot about the history of the city and the changes in the last 20 or 30 years. At the apartment we had a fun lunch of Charcuterie, Quiche Lorraine, a salad, and wine. This is a good way to get acquainted with the area especially if you are staying in the Saint Michel or Chartrons areas. Sorry, I don't have photo's at this time, if I am able to edit this review later I will post some, but I may have only taken them at the chocolate shop...

This one was great. We got a tour of the city and went to the best bakery where we had coffee and pastries that were delicious. Then we went to the chocolate factory and learned a lot about making chocolate and tasted a lot of them. The last one was the cheese store. We had 3 very good chesses. After all that we went for lunch. We had a very good quiche and lots of wine. We ended up buying some wine to ship home. The whole experience was fantastic.

This was a well spent 4 hours in Bordeaux. The guide was lovely and the pace of the walking tour was good. The stops were well planned and the little chocolate kitchen was especially informative. The lunch back at the office was also good. The dining area is in an apartment building but is the office of a local wine tour group.
