What to eat in Bordeaux? What they don’t have in Bordeaux is any famous local cheese, but otherwise you have many gastronomic specialities. Grilled meat is high on the list, e.g. entrecôte grilled on vine branches (“sarments“) à la bordelaise served with bordeaux wine sauce, oysters from the Atlantic coast, lamb from Pauillac, duck e.g. in the form of a grilled duck breast or the tasty foie gras… There is even a local production of sturgeon caviar (like “Iranian”).
Just a few examples, we cannot promise that all of this will be on our menus at the bordeaux tour but we can guarantee that there will be gastronomic highlights in some beautiful private château salons. Our meals in Bordeaux are star quality and accompanied by delicious vintages of wines from the châteaux’s own cellars.
Sometimes they pick out some extra surprises – just for us. That’s how it is when you arrive with curious and interested wine enthusiasts. In fact, not infrequently we hear this comment from the wineries visit, “it’s so fun when you come, you have such nice travellers”…
- This tour can be made as a bespoke tour and is sometimes on our public programme.
