Bordeaux: City Tour with Wine Tasting & Canelé｜France

Begin your 3-hour morning journey at the monumental Place de la Bourse, the ultimate symbol of Bordeaux's 18th-century prosperity. Admire the perfect classical symmetry and the magical reflections on the famous Miroir d'Eau.

Learn how this historic river port became the wealthiest trading hub in Europe from your expert historian guide. Then, slip away from the sun into the cool, shaded maze of the Quartier Saint-Pierre, the medieval heart of the city.

Experience your first culinary stop: tasting a true Canelé de Bordeaux. Hear the fascinating story of this caramelized, rum-and-vanilla pastry, invented by local nuns who used the egg yolks left over from the traditional wine-fining process (le collage).

Continue past ancient city gates and hidden courtyards toward the spectacular Grand Théâtre, where your experience reaches its gastronomic peak. Step inside an exclusive, intimate wine salon or boutique tasting space for a private Bordeaux wine masterclass.

Guided by an expert, taste 2 premium Bordeaux wines—such as a mineral-driven, refreshing white from Pessac-Léognan and a structured, elegant red from a Right Bank estate (like Saint-Émilion). Both will be perfectly paired with artisanal Ossau-Iraty sheep cheese from the neighboring Pyrenees.

Learn the secrets of the region's terroirs, the art of blending Merlot and Cabernet, and how to read a Bordeaux label like a pro. Conclude your morning beautifully in the heart of the golden triangle, leaving you perfectly prepped and positioned for a premium lunch or an afternoon of luxury shopping.
