So much of Bordeaux’s story can be told through its food, the origin of the products, and regional ingredients. The sugar and vanilla to create canelé or thousands of years of foie gras history.

Anne JORDAN of Aquitaine Travel Guide has over a decade of experience in culinary tourism.
I grew up with a father who was a chef and we used to visit the commercial food markets in Washington, DC together. My dream was to work with him in his restaurant ‘Jordan’s’ when I was older. After teaching at the Culinary Institute of America, he became the head of the culinary program in Wilkes Community College in North Carolina. I was able to help lead his tours and share Paris, Barcelona…and finally Bordeaux with culinary students! Sharing French cuisine on food tours has eventually been a wonderful career for me.

Bordeaux, France
Bazas, France
Local cattle and traditional festivals abound!
A food tour with Aquitaine Travel Guide will take you to the small producers, to learn the history of a product from the origins of its ingredients. I’ll introduce you to the individuals who make the best local cuisine. I don’t only love food, but grew up in food, as my father is a chef and culinary instructor. I have professional culinary training, have worked in fine dining, and practice slow food by consuming food locally and seasonally. Nothing makes me happier than sharing the beautiful epicurean history in Bordeaux with you!
