I first went on the wine tasting one which was brilliant – we went to 4 venues across the city, interspersed with short walks, and tasted some great wine in good company.(…) I liked it so much that I did their market tour 2 days after, and even though I’m not a huge foodie it was fascinating. (…) Small groups, great company and great food/wine at a reasonable price (…) A must if you’re in Bordeaux and want a proper taste of the city 🙂
