Must take tour!
This was one of the best tours I’ve been on! The food and wine was delicious and plentiful. Aurelian share some amazing local places with us and was so knowledgeable about Bordeaux and the surrounding areas. He was friendly and fun to interact with. I would recommend this to anyone and would take the tour 100 times over!

Great Culinary Experience
Great and knowledgeable tour guide. My wife and I plus one other couple were on the tour. Great culinary experience!

Fun education
There seem to be a lot of food tours in Bordeaux but this one stood out to me as including wine and being run by a sommelier. When we found that Aurelien was working for himself and supporting only independent establishments, we were even more pleased with our selection. It was a thorough, varied but relaxed tour. It was a very pleasant way to spend three hours and we came away better educated about the area.
Response from the operator: I’m delighted you found us! 😊 Being an independent guide and working with small, locally owned businesses is at the heart of what I do, so it’s wonderful to hear that this was part of what made the tour special for you. I’m glad you enjoyed the relaxed pace and the mix of wine, food and local history. Three hours can fly by when there’s good food, good wine and great company! Thank you for choosing to explore Bordeaux with me and for taking the time to share your experience. 🍷 — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours

We loved this tour!...
We loved this tour! Aurelien was a great guide, sharing the history of Bordeaux and knowledge of local products and wine. We got to taste many delicious, artisan products from various shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend!
Response from the operator: I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour! 😊 There’s nothing better than discovering Bordeaux through its history, local artisans and all the delicious things they create. I love sharing these little gems and the stories behind them with visitors. Thank you for joining me and for the lovely recommendation. I hope you left with a few new favorite flavors! 🍷 — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours

Exactly the tour I was looking for!
This was such a great tour and was our favourite part of our holiday in Bordeaux. This isn’t a large organisation rolling out tour after tour. This has a truly personal feel, provided by the fantastic Aurélien. Every stop we made; we met passionate, local business owners, tried delicious food, learnt about the history and origin of the food and enjoyed a glass of wine carefully paired with it. We walked, chatted, ate and drank with someone who felt like a local friend. Exactly the kind of vibe you want when you’re visiting a new city you know very little about. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
Response from the operator: Wow, being the favourite part of your Bordeaux holiday is quite something! 🥹🍷 What you described is exactly what I set out to create: not just a food tour, but a chance to meet the passionate people behind the products, discover their stories, and experience Bordeaux as if you had a local friend showing you around. Knowing that this personal touch made the experience so special means a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review and for recommending the tour so warmly. You were a pleasure to have along! — Aurélien, Délicieux Food Tours

Bordeaux Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Bordeaux Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 162 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bordeaux Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors?
+
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 Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bordeaux Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors?
+
Around 57 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bordeaux Food and Wine Tour : Authentic Artisan Flavors 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.
