Discover the medieval village and celebrated wines of Saint-Émilion, visit prestigious estates in the Médoc, or travel south to Graves and Sauternes. Depending on your selected experience, enjoy guided winery visits, tastings, vineyard views and insight into the grape varieties, terroirs, classifications and winemaking traditions that have shaped Bordeaux’s reputation.

Go beyond a standard winery visit with a gourmet experience that brings together wine, food and local craftsmanship. Enjoy a wine and cheese tasting in Bordeaux, discover carefully selected regional products or choose a private experience that includes a château lunch, food-and-wine pairing or cooking class.
These experiences are ideal for travellers who want to understand not only what makes Bordeaux wines distinctive, but also how wine is enjoyed as part of French culture and cuisine. A guided tasting can be a perfect introduction to the region, while a private food and wine day offers the freedom to focus on your preferred appellations, wines and culinary interests.
Available Ophorus experiences include Bordeaux wine and cheese tastings, private château cooking classes and wine-paired lunches, alongside premium and Grand Cru-focused private itineraries. [57][59][60]

Depending on the season and experience, discover products associated with the Dordogne, including foie gras, duck, walnuts, truffles, strawberries, goat’s cheese and regional wines.
A food tour in Sarlat is an enjoyable way to combine local history, market culture and tasting experiences. It is also an excellent complement to a Dordogne sightseeing day, offering a deeper understanding of the people, landscapes and traditions behind the region’s celebrated cuisine. Ophorus offers a small-group Sarlat market and Dordogne culinary tour from €40. [58][64]

Private food and wine tours are ideal for couples, families, groups of friends and special celebrations.
