“Our half-day winery tour to Saint-Emilion was absolutely fantastic. Lola was an incredible and knowledgeable guide and just an absolutely joyful person - we could not have had a better guide. We learnt so much about the wine and history of the area. We loved the two wineries we visited and the time exploring Saint-Emilion. The tour was nicely paced and the snacks at the second winery (thanks to Lola) were excellent. A really memorable day.”

2.Bordeaux Food Tour – A Full French Meal by Do Eat Better

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 357 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $102Best value

Spend 3.5 hours walking Bordeaux’s old town with an English-speaking local guide such as Antoine, Laura, or Clémence. The route links organic wine, a French bistro meal, cheese, cannelé, Dunes Blanches cream puffs, and local chocolate. With no more than 12 people, it feels personal, though the walking and food stops matter more than a market visit.

“Antoine started our tour with a lovely “Dune Blanche” cream puff pastry that is a specialty of the region. As a local, he provided interesting facts about the food/wine and history of the area. We stopped for a traditional lunch and then ended the tour with a famous cannele pastry. I’d recommend Antoine and this tour for an overview of Bordeaux history and food”
