Bordeaux Old Town mad og vin tur
Beskrivelse
Vi tror ikke på "cookie-cutter" erfaringer, og det bør du heller ikke! Vi leverer de mest personlige ture muligt, hvilket betyder, at hver tur vi giver er aldrig den samme. Med undtagelse af et par must-prøve fødevarer, resten er bygget omkring dig og hvad du er nysgerrig om at smage. Grupperne holdes små og ledes af en utrolig dygtig guide. Vidste du, at baguetter er nogle af de værste brød i Frankrig, og du bør bede om noget andet? Vidste du, at der er sæsoner for ost? Vil du have nogen til at forklare regionerne af fransk vin? Vores guider kan gøre dette, fordi de er tidligere kokke, madforfattere og vineksperter - ikke en studerende, der har memoreret et manuskript. Du vil gå gennem gamle Bordeaux, med sin storslåede middelalderlige arkitektur og stenede gader, der samler det bedste Bordeaux har at tilbyde. Vi har udvalgt kun de højeste kvalitet butikker til at fremvise og portionsstørrelser er generøse.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Turen varer cirka 3 timer og er opdelt i to dele. Den første halvdel har du besøger de bedste håndværksbutikker i byen - specifikt en håndværksbageri, fromagerie, slagter og kanel bageri butik. Du vil prøve et par ting undervejs, men hovedbegivenheden sker i anden halvdel af turen. Du vil nyde en siddende vin, ost og charcuterie parring til en stor finale i en vinkælder / vin butik. Mens vi går, vil vi pege på nogle historiske landemærker i gamle bydel Bordeaux fra Camino de Santiago til Grosse Cloche - et af de mest anerkendte monumenter i Bordeaux.
Vores standard tur starter på Cinema Utopia og er omkring 1 km opdelt over en afslappet time og en halv, før den siddende vin parring. Der er steder at sidde og hvile langs vejen, og afstanden kan endda reduceres yderligere, hvis der er nogen på turen, der er ældre eller bevægelseshæmmede.
Vi er i stand til at imødekomme glutenfrie kunder ved at gøre en særlig bonus stop til et glutenfrit bageri. Hvis du er cøliaki, bedes du give os besked på forhånd, da vi har en særlig protokol.

This was one of the best tours I have ever been on! Alex was our tour guide and the attention to detail and the information she gave us was unmatched. My mom and I had the time of our lives. I’m hoping some of our friends and family travel to Bordeaux in the future so we can recommend this tour and Alex to them.
This tour was a perfect way to explore the city, especially as we were only there for the weekend. Our guide, Alex, was fantastic at choosing food which matched our tastes, but also expanded them! We went at a perfect leisurely pace, picking up sweets treats along the way to keep our sugar levels up, before arriving at the wine bar ready to taste the selected foods. Alex had prepared the wine cellar for us, and expertly picked wine to match the food he had chosen. Alex was very knowledgeable and passionate about food and wine, and a brilliant host. He even gave us some historical insight to the city on our walk. We have also received an email with information on where we went and what we had. I really cannot recommend this tour enough.

From Alexandre T.'s fantastic hosting and wine expertise, to the leisurely pace allowing you to soak up the city, to all the incredible flavors we love sharing with people. It's guests like you that make all the hard work that goes into every tour totally worth it!

We absolutely loved this tour! We tried so many different foods and they were paired perfectly with a range of wines. We loved wandering through the city, hearing about culture and history, as well as the best places to go for bread, cheese and meat. Alex, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and answered questions before they were even asked. I would really recommend this tour!

Excellent small group food tour with Alex. Great knowledge of Bordeaux history and culture. We spent the morning visiting small artisan shops and producers with a couple of tastings. The tour finished in an excellent wine shop where we sampled the selection of cheese, charcuterie and sweet treats, with generous matched wine tasting. A great introduction to Bordeaux with a curated list of products and suppliers shared after the tour.
Hello Cathryn and thank you so much for your wonderful review! It touches on all the things we try to emphasize - well curated visits to only the best shops, generous amounts of food and wine, and lastly and most importantly, an excellent guide like Alexandre T. It's the deep knowledge and enthusiasm of guides like him that ties it all together : ) Many thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and supporting a small business! Wishing you and Dave all the best, Diane Rovner of Bordeaux in Bites Food Tours
Our guide Alex was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He filled the tour with historical & cultural insights as well as sharing his vast knowledge of the food and wine from the area. Felt like we were out to dinner with new friends rather than on a tour.
Hello Catherine and thank you! I'm delighted you and Skye enjoyed Alexandre T.'s terrific hosting as well as the company of your fellow travelers.

It's always a pleasure to share our love of Bordeaux and its many charms. Wishing you both all the best, Diane Rovner of Bordeaux in Bites Food Tours
Fabulous food and wine tour. Great individualised tour with a professional, friendly and knowledgeable guide. The range of food tastings were delicious and the pace made the tour highly enjoyable. The finale in a beautiful wine shop with a tasting platter of the foods we had sourced on our pleasant walk through the old town was a highlight of a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend this tour to others.

Additional thanks for your lovely comments about your guide Alexandra M. She goes above and beyond for our guests and we are lucky to have her as part of our team. Wishing you both all the best, Diane Rovner of Bordeaux in Bites Food Tours
We had a fantastic time on the Bordeaux Old Town Food and Wine tour! Alex was knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and culture of Bordeaux, and he weaved in his good sense of humor. He tailored the tour to our preferences while pushing us to expand our repertoire of cheeses and wine. The visits to the local bakery, cheese shop, butcher, canneles, pastry, and wine shops made for a fun and excellent pairing of food and wines for our final event! Since this was our first afternoon in Bordeaux, the tour was instrumental in our planning of sites and shops to see over the next two days — which included returning to these shops again. We highly recommend taking this tour. Thank you Alex and shop owners!
Hi Stephen and thank you very much for your incredible review. It's so rewarding to hear that you enjoyed your time with Alexandre T. as well as the artisanal shops included - enough to want to revisit them : ) That's a huge compliment as they were hand selected for their excellence. An additional thanks for all the kind words about Alexandre T. - he really is an excellent guide. Wishing you and Kirsten all the best, Diane Rovner of Bordeaux in Bites Food Tours
We had a fantastic tour with Alex's and a lovely mum and daughter from Australia, he has so much knowledge about the city of Bordeaux and his pairing of wines meats and cheese was exceptional,thank you Alex's for a wonderful but very quick 3 hours
Hello Valerie and Michael, thank you so much! I heard your group got on well together : ) Along with Alexandre T., your guide extraordinaire, I'm delighted you enjoyed your tour. He is definitely passionate about what he does and I'm glad you enjoyed the result. Thank you again and wishing you all the best, Diane Rovner of Bordeaux in Bites Food Tours
My wife and I were accompanied by a warm, professional, informative guide with excellent English on our Bordeaux food and wine tour on July 11. Alexandra introduced us to her favorite purveyors where we were to choose our favorite charcuterie and cheeses to be eaten at a tasting at a wonderful wine store. It was a great experience, but we would have welcomed a visit to Bordeaux’s famous outdoor market, and no mention was made of the famous macarons that are famous in Bordeaux. However, we were very impressed with Alexandra and felt it was one of the most interesting aspects of our visit to Bordeaux.
Hello Brian, thanks for your review! Alexandra M. is indeed an excellent guide and I'm happy to know you found her impressive as well as enjoyed your tour. Thanks as well for your feedback, which is always welcome. To clarify, our tours are built around the very best Bordeaux/France has to offer and unfortunately, most vendors at the market fall well below our standards, hence our decision not to include them. (For context: my background is with Gourmet and Saveur Magazines, so I take this standard very seriously.) As for the macaron, I believe there is some confusion. Bordeaux is known for the canelé, which is why they are so ubiquitous around the city and included in our tour. The macaron you're thinking of is a Saint-Émilion specialty. Wishing you and Anne all the best, Diane Rovner, Bordeaux in Bites Food Tours
Absolutely fantastic tour around sampling delicious cheese, meats, pastries and wines. Alex was a great and knowledgeable guide who provided lots of insight and interesting facts about the city of Bordeaux, France, and history of the food/wine. He made sure everyone was happy with the tour plan, and gave us plenty of flexibility with what we wanted to try. Highly recommend
Hi Simon and thank you so much! It's always an honor when people say they would highly recommend our tours! Given the number of other operators, we really appreciate that you chose us : ). Thank you for your kind words, especially about Alexandre T. who is indeed a great and knowledgeable guide. He deserves much of the credit. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review and for supporting a small business! Wishing you all the best, Diane Rovner, Bordeaux in Bites
