    This was a great tour! So...

    This was a great tour! So happy that we booked it! Kate was our guide and she was exceptionally good. We saw parts of Bordeaux we would not have discovered if it wasn’t for her. And she was so patient allowing us into a few stores to browse and purchase gifts in addition to the stops she had planned. We highly recommend her!

    Response from the operator: Hello Susie, Thank you for the lovely review. So glad you enjoyed the tour and I sent your kind words to Kate to make her day. Come back and see us again soon. Frances

    A Tour with a Friend!

    Our wine and food tour with Simone was the perfect first-day activity in Bordeaux to learn the area and its unique flavors, history and neighborhoods. Our son and DIL did this same tour a few years ago and referred us to the tour and Simone. We’ve made her a member of our family now :) As we met other travelers in Bordeaux, none of them has the insights to the city or the “lay of the land” like we did, thanks to the tour. We received wonderful advice on using the trams, dinner suggestions and even the other must-visit places that weren’t on the tour. We will look forward to visiting again and referring others to this experience with a true local!

    Response from the operator: Hello Hannah, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and meeting Simone. She was thrilled to receive your warm review and feels that she has made new friends. We would love to have you join us on another tour, perhaps in Ireland one day. Frances

    Very informative, great...

    Very informative, great history of Bordeaux, went to many establishments frequented by locals. Helen was a great guide!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review. We are delighted you enjoyed the tour, and your kind words made Helen's day.

    Not loving the food tour , but loved Bordeaux!

    This tour surprised me because I did not know all we were tasting were pieces of desert!! For the cost $$$ of the tour this was ridiculous. The tour guide was just ok!! I did loved the Oysters, but my daughter had no meal since we found out the tour had no other choice but shrimp !! So for my $300 plus charge that is insane !

    Response from the operator: Hello Awilda, I’m sorry to hear that you did not have a great experience on the tour. I’m a bit confused because when I checked with Kate, she mentioned you told her you really enjoyed the tour and would leave a positive review. Regarding dietary restrictions, you indicated at the time of your booking that there were none, which is why oysters and shrimp were included in the menu for that day. The tour featured a variety of tastings, including olives, cheese, aged ham with cheese, chocolates, and unique Bordeaux pastries. At Bonner Travel, customer satisfaction is very important to us. Therefore, I have issued a partial refund to your account. Best regards,

    First time to Bordeaux

    A wonderful way to see the beautiful city of Bordeaux and to learn about its history. Helen, our guide, was so knowledgeable and also gave us suggestions of places to see and restaurants to enjoy during our stay. We tasted amazing food along the tour…chocolates, fresh seafood, Iberian ham, and the delicious Canales of Bordeaux among others. Truly one of the best tours we have been on. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bordeaux. Ann and Ed Gough

    Response from the operator: Hello Ann, Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I've shared your feedback with Helen to brighten her day. Please visit our website, Bonner Travel, for information on other tours in Ireland. Regards, Frances

    Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.

    How much does Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $171 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bordeaux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bordeaux is not rushed.

    Is Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bordeaux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bordeaux and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bordeaux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bordeaux?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bordeaux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch, Saint-Émilion Afternoon Tour - 2 Grand crus & French apéritif, Graves & Saint-Emilion Wine Tour | 3 Châteaux & Gourmet Picnic. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bordeaux?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; and Brunch. Not included: Gratuities; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour?

    +

    We meet all visitors outside the Hotel Intercontinental. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and Not recommended for travelers with mobility restrictions. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Bordeaux Culinary and Wine Tasting Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
