Description

Good to Know

Cheese, wine and baguettes are the "holy trinity" in France. Start your tour with a visit to one of the most unique boulangeries in the world. Using an oven built in 1765 under King Louis XV, you'll sample a number of local and regional specialties while learning about traditional French bread-making. Afterwards, you'll do a deep dive into the immense world of French cheese. Did you know there are seasons for cheese? Or why brie tastes better in France? We'll discuss the impact of aging, different animal milks, when to eat the rind and offer our professional guidance on how to select cheese on your own. Coupled with an extensive wine pairing, you'll also gain a solid understanding of French wine as well as fundamentals for pairing cheese and wine together. With a minimum of 8 cheeses (and more for larger groups), this tour often doubles as lunch for most people.

Great Experience

Alex was very entertaining. He did a good job engaging everyone and trying to meet the diverse needs of the group. One person was lactose intolerant & celiac, yet he was able to meet their needs! He is very knowledgeable and did a good job on the variety of cheezes, breads, sweets, and wines we tasted. There was plenty & we did not need to eat dinner after this.

Dear Matt, thank you very much for writing two reviews - here and your very kind Google review : ) We are so grateful to have guests like you who appreciate what we do as well as want to support the growth of a small business. Alex is a great guide and I know that tour had some very specific dietary needs - yet he was able to rise to the challenge! It was a pleasure hosting you and wishing you all the best, Diane

Best food tour ever.

Our bread, cheese and wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Bordeaux. Our guides Diane and Vanessa enriched our knowledge of French food culture while sharing a fun morning. After visiting a number of different shops we culminated our tour in a wine shop where we paired the bread and cheese with a number of excellent wines. The tour was very personal and educational, I highly recommend this tour.

Hello Emmett! Firstly, many thanks to you and Joan for taking TWO of our tours. The morning we spent with you both was such a blast. I particularly enjoy leading that tour because you get to see a "real" neighborhood away from the touristy areas as well as that amazing oven constructed in 1765. Vanessa, the newest member of our team and resident wine goddess, added so much to the experience. She has a wonderful way of talking about wine in a way that is fun and accessible and getting to try 5 or 6 exceptional wines along with a variety of cheeses is not a bad way to spend a few hours! Many thanks again for the kind words and wishing you safe travels. All the best, Diane

Fabulous and informative

I had the best time on this tour! We got to start at a bakery with an oven from the 1700s that we got to see close-up before taking a deep dive into the most enlightening and delicious cheese tasting I’ve ever done! The wines were expertly paired and Diane, our guide, created a wonderful vibe in the room that brought everyone on the tour together. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Dear Christina, thank you very much for your kind review! I'm delighted you enjoyed your tour -especially sampling the different Left Bank and Right Bank wines. It's a fun tour to lead, particularly with people like you who have a serious interest in wine. PS the Porte Chic is available in the US : ) All the best, Diane
