Wow, we had SUCH a good time with Aurelien, we got a great variety of very tasty bites, amazing wine, we saw neighborhoods we wouldn't have saw with out him. He was fun, yet kind and patient. It was fun and relaxing. We left with happy bellies. We also hit some shops, so you are welcome to buy some small take home gifts if you I recommend going early in the trip so you can revisit some of the places he takes you too. My husband and I do food tours often when we travel, this was one of our top tours. I'd do it again with Aurelien if I visit again... Thanks for the good memories Aurelien!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I'm especially touched to hear that, as food tour enthusiasts, you count this among your favorites. Knowing that you left with happy bellies, great memories, and a few places you wanted to revisit is exactly what I hope for! It would be a real pleasure to show you around again if you make it back to Bordeaux. Until then, thank you for letting me be part of your trip! — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours 🍷😊
Very nice and knowledgeable guide - visited interesting places with good wines and food / snacks that suited
Thank you so much! I'm delighted you enjoyed discovering Bordeaux through its food and wines. Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back someday! — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours
This was a truly exceptional food, wine, and history tour. Aurélien, an experienced sommelier, shared a wealth of knowledge about wine pairing, the origins of both the wines and the foods, and the historical and geographical influences that make them unique. His passion and expertise brought every tasting experience to life. What made the evening especially memorable was Aurélien’s warm and engaging approach. Rather than feeling like a traditional tour guide, he felt more like a friend sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm. It was an informative, enjoyable, and immersive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the rich connections between food, wine, history, and culture.
Thank you so much for this incredible review. Reading that the experience felt more like spending an evening with a friend than joining a tour is probably one of the nicest compliments I could receive. Sharing the stories behind Bordeaux's food and wines is my passion, and I'm delighted that this made the tastings even more meaningful for you. Thank you for your recommendation, and I hope our paths cross again someday! — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours

An absolute recommendation and great experience. AURELIAN, our food scout and trained sommelier, welcomed us very nicely and warmly. With sound knowledge of the food and wines, as well as historical anecdotes, Aurelian provided us with a delicious and entertaining excursion. The food and wines were a great experience. A must when visiting Bordeaux. Many thanks and regards, Aurelian.

We had a superb guided Food Tour in Bordeaux on Friday 24 July. Our guide was Aurelien. It was an absolute pleasure to meet him; he was extremely knowledgeable about Bordeaux and it's food and wine culture and we were treated to delicious samples of local produce. Thankyou Aurelien!

Despite the hot day, we were really looking forward to the enjoyable wine and food tour together with our dachshund and a bottle of mineral water. With two French Canadians, Aurélien led us through many small establishments and we were able to try all sorts of delicacies. We had a lot of fun and would recommend the 3 1/2-hour food and wine tour to everyone. Thanks for everything.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour, even on such a hot day—and it was a pleasure welcoming your cute dog along too! 🐶 Sharing Bordeaux through its family-run businesses, local wines, and regional specialties is exactly what I love to do. Thank you for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back for more delicious discoveries one day! — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours 😊
Aurélien was wonderful! Very knowledgeable about his wines. He’s been living in Bordeaux for 16 years and is a sommelier. He took us to many family owned shops and the food and wine pairings were excellent. He showed us around the city and gave us many recommendations for restaurants bars and things to do. I will be telling all my family and friends about Aurelian’s tour! Highly recommend!!!!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! It was a real pleasure sharing Bordeaux with you. I'm especially happy you enjoyed discovering the family-run businesses and learning more about the region's wines.

Incredible guided tour through Bordeaux! Very knowledgeable and nice guide. Were treated to both history, food and wine. If there is anything to do in Bordeaux, it is this tour! The guide was easy to contact and find at the pickup location he was also very good at communicating in English and French.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I'm truly honored to read that you consider this the one thing not to miss in Bordeaux—that means a great deal to me. I also appreciate you mentioning the communication and meeting arrangements. I always want the experience to be seamless from the moment you book until the tour ends. I hope to welcome you back to Bordeaux someday! — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours 🍷😊
