Enjoy a delightful meal with a local family in their home, where you will gain an authentic understanding for Bordeaux’s culture, cuisine and esteemed wines. During your informal visit, your hosts will prepare a traditional meal, one that they might cook on a typical day. There is no better way to understand a local culture than through its food, especially when prepared in a private home rather than in a restaurant. Chances are, the meal will be from a family recipe. Whatever the entrée, you can be sure it will be paired with an appropriate wine, most likely the hosts’ favorite. The vast majority of Bordeaux wine is red and made with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. However, a Bordeaux white may also be served to complement a course or simply showcase a different side of Bordeaux wine. You can expect the conversation to be lively, the hosts to be engaging and the food and wine to be spectacular.
