Bordeaux Market Tasting by Food Lover Tour

About this activity

Looking to get to know Bordeaux fast, learn some of its fascinating history, try incredible local food, and get all the insider insights for your stay from an experienced local guide?

This multi-stop tasting tour encompasses the three regional specialties of Bordeaux. Try an artisanally crafted chocolatine and discover why the Bordelais give this classic French pastry a unique name. Next, stop at the city's covered market to learn about Bordeaux's industrial past and history as a colonial port. Enjoy fresh oysters paired with local wine at a market café, the same way local workers traditionally breakfasted.

The second half of the tour takes you on a walk through Bordeaux's medieval past. You'll visit the historic city gates, uncover Roman secrets, stop by the oldest church in the city, and try Bordeaux's most famous specialty: the canelé.

Food Lover Tour will also supply a food guide to Bordeaux, plus our picks for how to spend the perfect weekend in the wine capital of the world.
