Bordeaux · LUNCH EXPERIENCES
21 reviewed
Lunch is a two-hour affair here, and often the best table of the trip, whether it is among the vines or at a market stall. These are the best Bordeaux lunch experiences, with what is on each menu, where you sit, how the wine is paired, and the price.

Full-day Médoc and Saint-Émilion tour with UNESCO village walk, multiple châteaux tastings, and a classic picnic lunch, starting in Bordeaux.
“The price is higher and for very good reason; the quality of the tour is unmatched. We spent the day with our lovely wine guru, Pauline, sampling our way through Medoc and St Emilion with four other wonderful people. We visited four chateau, learned about the wine making process from very informative guides, and wandered the beautiful streets of St Emilion. The lunch at the vineyard Palais Cardinal was fabulous and filling.”

St-Émilion day trip from Bordeaux: guided tastings at 2 châteaux, château picnic lunch, and a medieval village walk.
“We had a fantastic St‑Emilion day trip. Although booked as a group tour, it ended up being just the two of us, which made it feel very special. Remi was an excellent guide; friendly, knowledgeable, and great to chat with. We visited a lovely variety of châteaux, enjoyed an amazing lunch, and were lucky to have a sunny winter’s day. Great wines and a truly memorable experience!”

Bordeaux to Arcachon Bay for a Dune du Pilat climb, white wine at the top, and an oyster or shrimp lunch with local wine.
“Mel was an incredible guide for our tour! She was familiar with the area and provided very interesting information. We enjoyed climbing the dune with a picnic at the top. The town of Arcachon is spectacular!! We thoroughly enjoyed the oysters and wine at lunch. Thank you Mel for a wonderful day. 🙂”
A small-group Bordeaux day from Médoc châteaux to Saint-Émilion with 3 estates, 7–8 wines, picnic lunch, and a UNESCO village walk.
“The trip was enhanced by the wife and I, fortunately, being the only people in the party. That aside, Quentin, our guide, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Transport was clean, tidy and comfortable. The trip was well organised. No waiting around. The Chateaux visited were great also. The meal provided was a hearty lunch accompanied by a good bottle of white wine. Being guided around St. Emilion was also a plus. Whilst it is an eight hour excursion, the day will flash by with much to see and do. I highly recommend this trip.”
From Bordeaux to Pyla Dune and Arcachon Bay for a small-group climb, winter-town sights, and an oyster or shrimp lunch with wine.
“A great trip! Who would have guessed a huge sand dune is sitting there on the coast of France, and that Napoleon stopped it from further invading the country by planting forests. Lots of great picture-taking opportunities from the top of the dune. The sand is incredibly fine, making for a fun walk down the dune after taking the stairs up. Our guide was excellent, and even arranged for shrimp tasting for those of us not keen on oysters.”
Spend a full day mixing Médoc châteaux with UNESCO Saint-Émilion, tasting 7–8 wines, and enjoying a chateau garden picnic lunch.
“Loved this tour. Amazing chateaus. Good guides. The only comment would be that it would have been good to know up front that we could buy wine and ship back to Australia from the tour office. Instead we purchased at cellar doors where the shipping was incredibly expensive. Had we of known we would have purchased from the tour office and shipped heaps home for 50 euro. Otherwise great day”

“Dorian was an excellent guide. He knows the the overall area, starting in Bordeaux and through Saint-Emilion. Dorian took us to historical sites that he was well versed in. He speaks multiple languages and talked with all of us in English and other languages. This tour was well worth the price and I truly enjoyed the day with the other five tourists. Thank you, Tom”
