NICE & ENJOYABLE WALKING TOUR TO EXPLORE THE CHARMING NEIGHBOURHOOD OF BORDEAUX WITH OUR IN-HOUSE SOMMELIER WITH WINE & CHEESE TASTING.

This tour is designed by our in-house Sommelier & Wine Expert. He will take you on a stroll through the UNESCO wine merchant streets, many of which are 300 years old. We will walk for almost an hour to discover the neighbourhood of Chartrons and the riverside of Bordeaux while learning about the different grape varieties used in Bordeaux, the important wine regions, how to pick up a bottle in a supermarket or in a restaurant, what is the 1855 classification, how to read a label like a professional, the historical monuments of the district and much more!
At the end of the tour we will put all the theoretical knowledge into practical "learning by tasting"… Cheers!!

We did the Bordeaux cheese and wine tasting tour with Clem and it was such a great and informative experience. We started off with a walking tour, where we learnt about the history of wine making in Bordeaux, followed by a tasting at a local wine shop. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who stays in Bordeaux. Thank you Clem for going above and beyond with your tour, and making it a very memorable experience.

We did two tours in Bordeaux but the quality of the tour guide was disappointing and I would not recommend.

Clemence was truly outstanding. Great knowledge of Bordeaux- the city and the wine. The two and a half hours flew- and the wine and cheese session at a lovely wine bar was excellent. Great afternoon.

Great way to spend the afternoon. Our Irish guide was knowledgable and made the tour interesting and fun. Delicious wine and cheese at the end of the tour in a very nice wine bar with an interesting dispenser which allowed you to select and taste about 30 wines from every region of France and beyond. Highly recommended.

An informal but informative tour with a short walk around the area before adjourning to a great wine bar for tasting. We had 4 wines paired with cheese - a white, 2 reds and a sweet one. Our guide Chaz the Irishman was good and made an excellent teacher.
My only disappointment was there was 11 ( and should have been 13), way in excess of the promised 8.

Friendly people in the group, including our host who was very informative. The walking tour was interesting and progressed through nicely but the wine tasting was the standout. Great insight into wine in the region.
