Bordeaux is a foodie dream. Depending on the day of the tour, you’ll sample select cheeses, pastries, chocolate, pate and sometimes a special surprise. First, stop at a traditional bakery to savor fresh bread and discover the hidden secrets behind authentic French baking. Next, visit a renowned chocolatier, known for their innovative flavor combinations such as ginger and olive. Continue your adventure at a cheese workshop, where you’ll sample French classics like Comté, Roquefort, Brie, and more, learning about each cheeses distinct origins and tasting profiles.
Finally, wrap up your tasting tour with a light picnic lunch at the tour company’s stylish offices. Accompanied with local wines, it’s the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the flavors of the city’s gastronomic heritage.
