This experience was much better than I expected. It included an instructional walk through the Golden Triangle of Bordeaux as we walked between local shops offering local products paired with local wines. Caviar, foie gras, meats, cheeses, baked specialties and artisanal chocolates: each treat paired with a different wine -- at least 8 different wines. Our excellent guide has some training as a sommelier and so we had our taste buds challenged in a gustatory game. Special requests were honored with extra stops. If you are ever in Bordeaux, take this tour. You will be surprised. Try everything: even if you think you don't like something ( like maybe foie gras you had in the past), listen to your guide's instructions on how to enhance the flavors and get ready to close your mouth and hum "Mmmmm!"
A fantastic food tour highlighting locally owned businesses. Tour guide was wonderful. Lots of food and wine and history . I highly recommend

What a wonderful review—thank you! I'm especially happy to hear you enjoyed the relaxed pace and the focus on locally owned businesses. Bordeaux has so many incredible producers and artisans, and I love helping guests discover them. And you're absolutely right: I genuinely love what I do. Sharing my city, its wines, and its food with curious travelers never feels like work! 🍷😊 — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours
We thoroughly enjoyed our food & wine tour in Bordeaux. It was a small, fun group and our guide gave us just the right amount of history, humour and sampling of the local cuisines, all from small business owners which we liked.
Thank you for this lovely review! I'm glad the mix of history, humor, and local flavors hit the right balance. Working exclusively with small independent businesses is something I'm very passionate about, so it means a lot that you appreciated that aspect of the tour. Thanks again for joining the adventure through Bordeaux's streets and flavors! — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours 🍷😊
Aure’lion was fantastic! It was a great tour and great value! So much food and tastings for the money! Far more than expected! Very knowledgeable of the town and eateries. All the eateries were great as well! I would highly recommend this tour to any foodies or anyone wanting a walkabout town and some tastings. Merci beaucoup!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear the tour exceeded your expectations. Nobody should leave a Bordeaux food tour hungry, so I'm glad there was plenty to enjoy along the way! Thank you for your enthusiasm and recommendation—it was a pleasure sharing my favorite spots with you. — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours 🍷🧀✨
Truly wonderful tour of local wines and delicacies. We also had an amazing full lunch. Tour owner is a sommelier and has excellent English, knowledgeable and fun.
Thank you for such a kind review! I'm delighted you enjoyed the combination of local delicacies, wines, and the full lunch experience. Bordeaux is a city best discovered at the table, and I'm glad I could share some of its flavors and stories with you. And as a former English teacher turned sommelier, it's nice to know both skills came in handy! 😄🍷 — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours
