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!!

5.00I love Viator as you get to meet such lovely and knowledgeable experts like Adrian. We spent a good half hour touring the old part of Bordeaux and then around an hour tasting wine, while Adrian explain the finer points of the region, the grapes, how to match wine with food. Thoroughly recommend the tour, lovely guide, took the time to answer our questions fully and point out places we should visit. 👍🏻🍷

5.00Enjoyed our walking tour with Pascale and discovered some lovely streets/areas we might not otherwise have visited. The wine & cheese tasting was delicious - so much so that we went back the next night for dinner! Would recommend this for a casual, fun and informative way to spend a few hours exploring beautiful Bordeaux

5.00Ani was our fun guide. He is very knowledgeable on the history of Bordeaux, and as a sommelier, he took us on a wonderful walk while explaining the wine regions, the grapes grown in this region, and much more. We ended with a wine and cheese tasting, putting into practice our new found knowledge. Ani has a fantastic sense of humour and a wicked smile! We highly recommend this tour if you find yourself in the region. Thank you, Ani!

5.00We took a day trip from Paris to Bordeaux for the Wine and Cheese Tasting walking tour, and we were so glad we did! We met Ani several minutes early at the designated meeting point and went from there. Ani is very knowledgeable on the history of Bordeaux, mixing tales of the past with the history and science of wine, doing it all with a fantastic sense of humor! He has developed some great learning aides to teach but in a very accessible manner. We highly recommend this tour if you find yourself in the region. Thank you Ani!

The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the city’s rich history and stunning architecture to life. The walking tour was the perfect mix of culture and charm, with plenty of fascinating stories about Bordeaux’s past. The wine tasting was equally exceptional, showcasing some of the region’s finest vintages. It was a perfect blend of history, scenery, and indulgence. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bordeaux!
