Bordeaux Guided Tour with Wine and Cheese Tasting

This historical wine tour with tasting in Bordeaux is designed for those who want to discover the city from the perspective of one of its most important hallmarks: wine. The experience begins in the Chartrons district, an area closely linked to the wine trade for centuries, where the atmosphere of old merchants' streets surrounded by historic buildings is still preserved.

During the first part of the tour, you will take a guided walk of about 1 hour through this emblematic neighbourhood. The guide - who can be a sommelier or a wine expert - will explain how Chartrons played a leading role in the history of Bordeaux wine and why this city became a world reference in the sector. You will also learn useful notions about Bordeaux's grape varieties, its main wine regions and the famous 1855 classification.

In addition to the historical part, the tour has a very practical approach. Throughout the tour you will discover how to read a wine label like a pro and how to identify some key names in the Bordeaux wine world. This makes the experience not only enjoyable, but also very useful if you want to explore further wine bars or restaurant menus in and around Bordeaux.

The second part of the activity ends at a wine bar in Chartrons, where you will enjoy a professional tasting of Bordeaux organic wines. The tasting is accompanied by a French cheese and charcuterie board with baguette, making the experience a very complete introduction to the flavours of the region. For children, the provider offers juice and cheese instead of wine.

Another of the strengths of this tour is its small group format, with a maximum of 15 participants, which allows for a closer, more comfortable and participatory experience. It is a highly recommended option for couples, groups of friends or travellers who want to get to know Bordeaux wine in an enjoyable way, without leaving the city and with a guide in the language of their choice, English or Spanish, selected during the booking process.
