Wine, Food and History Walk

A walking tour through Bordeaux's old town blending history, a canelé tasting and a proper wine stop, then a shared lunch or dinner.

In Bordeaux, I run a walking tour that combines history, food and wine into one afternoon. Guests meet me in the old town, and we walk together through centuries old streets, past merchant houses, historic churches and hidden courtyards, while I explain how the city grew rich on the wine trade and what that history actually looked like.

Along the way we stop to taste a canelé, the small caramelized cake Bordeaux is quietly obsessed with, fresh from a local bakery. A little further on, we pause at a wine shop tucked into one of the old streets, where we taste wine straight from the window, poured by someone who actually knows the bottles on the shelf.

We keep walking through more of the historic centre, and I keep explaining what we are looking at and why it still stands. The tour finishes with a proper meal, lunch or dinner depending on the time of day, at a place I actually eat at myself, where guests can relax and talk over what they have seen.

Shared with you when you book

Wear comfortable shoes, since we spend most of the tour walking on cobblestones. The wine tasting includes alcohol, so please bring ID if you look under 25. Let me know before the tour about any dietary needs so I can plan the food and wine stops around them. Weather in Bordeaux can change quickly, so a light jacket is a good idea outside summer.
