1.5-Hour Bordeaux River Cruise with Wine and Canelé Tasting

About this experience

This ticket is for a 1.5-hour guided river cruise along the Garonne, the broad tidal river that divides the city and fronts the UNESCO-listed waterfront of Bordeaux. The cruise runs for ninety minutes and combines sightseeing from the water with a structured tasting of regional wines and canelé, the small fluted pastry originating in the Bordeaux region, served on board by the host as part of the experience. As the cruise proceeds, the host leads guests through a tasting of local wines alongside canelé, placing both within the context of two of the area's best-known food and drink traditions. Views from the river take in the 18th-century stone quays, the Place de la Bourse, and the Pont de Pierre. The ticket covers the full cruise duration, the on-board wine tasting, and the canelé tasting. Departure point, schedule, and any dietary requirements should be confirmed at the time of booking. Alcohol is not sold through this listing. Any tasting is served on site by the operator to guests of legal drinking age.
