Excellent wine tour in Bordeauz
The wine tour was a load of fun and so informative! With Joshua as our thoroughly engaging guide, we enjoyed learning about each wine, as well as the unique history of the wine industry in the Bordeaux region. And the food pairings were excellent! As we walked between the tasting shops, Joshua also shared fascinating tidbits about sights along the way—this is so much more than a wine tasting! The group’s small size creates the intimate experience of being shown around the neighborhood by a local whose passion for Bordeaux is contagious. It’s the anti-tour bus tour, and a must do!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for touring with us, come back any time! Joshua

The heart of Bordeaux
Went up to Bordeaux on a whim and had literally nothing planned. I had never been to the city before nor did any research about it, so it was a blessing to find out about Food Lover Tour. I joined the Urban Wine tour on Friday night and it was so much fun! So much, in fact, that I ended up booking the Capucins Market one the following morning. I was a bit skeptical at first because I was by myself, but Joshua was so warm and welcoming that I gave it a try. His tours are filled with wit, history, the most amazing food and will not only help you really discover Bordeaux but they will also get you out of your comfort zone (who knew I liked oysters!). Joshua took us to the most charming, unique, and easy-to-miss-if-you're-not-a-local places, and I am still dreaming about the food and the wine we had. Do not go to Bordeaux and leave without having experienced one (or both, if you're lucky) of the tours as you will leave with the biggest of smiles - and a very, very happy belly.

A tour to return to!
A trip to Bordeaux should always include a wine tour and this one was terrific. Our guide, Joshua, showed a deep love of the regional wines and cuisine (selected cheeses, charcuterie) as well as a keen understanding of wine making and Bordeaux history and its influences on the local wine industry. Informative and delicious!

Would do it all again!
What an incredible tour! My fiancé and I did the wine tour and it was worth every penny. The wines we tasted were delicious, and it was satisfying to drink them alongside some of their history. As a self-proclaimed cheese addict, it was fascinating to learn about WHY French cheese is so special, and the cheeses we tasted were delectable! My fiancé is lactose-intolerant and I happily stole his samples. Joshua was a perfect tour guide- bringing the perfect balance of experience, intellect, humor and personality to the group! He is clearly well-versed in what he shares about and has such a fun and easygoing demeanor. We loved him! 11/10, highly recommend!

Amazing wine and tour experience !
We had an excellent tour with Joshua. He’s incredibly eloquent and explains the history of the place we pass by in the city in such an engaging and understandable way. The stops were great, good amount of walking and sitting down, we tasted a great variety of wines paired with cheeses, charcuterie, and even some delicious sweets. Very good explanations of the Bordeaux wine specialities. It felt like a real tasting experience, not just small samples. What we loved most is that it felt as if we were touring with a friend showing us his city, a friend incredibly knowledgeable! The tour is pretty family friendly, we ourselves had an 18 month old baby. I highly recommend, must do in Bordeaux !

Bordeaux Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.
How much does Bordeaux Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $91 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 Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover 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 Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bordeaux Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover Tour?
+
Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bordeaux Urban Wine Walk by Food Lover 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.
