Enjoy a unique wine and cheese tasting in Bordeaux, set in one of the city's oldest cheese cellars. Hidden beneath a family-run restaurant, the famous "Cave of 100 Cheeses" welcomes you into an atmospheric 18th-century vaulted underground cellar where French culinary heritage comes alive.

Tour de France of Cheeses in Historic Vaulted Cellar

This beloved Bordeaux institution, founded in 1987, offers a joyful and interactive Tour de France of Cheeses, guided by passionate experts who share anecdotes, regional traditions, and fun facts throughout the tasting. Seated around a large communal table, you'll sample 9 AOP/AOC French cheeses from different regions — from creamy Normandy Cambert to tangy Roquefort and nutty Alpine Comté — each representing distinct terroirs and traditional production methods.

The cheeses are expertly paired with 3 Bordeaux wines: a crisp dry white, a structured red, and a luscious sweet Sauternes, accompanied by traditional sourdough bread from a local bakery. This relaxed, convivial experience celebrates sharing, laughter, and the pleasure of good food enjoyed together in true French art de vivre.

Wine and Cheese Pairing Highlights

Your tasting explores classic French pairing principles that balance flavors, textures, and acidity. Structured Bordeaux reds cut through the fat of aged sheep cheeses, while sweet Sauternes creates surprising contrast with salty, tangy profiles. Graves dry whites complement creamy cheeses with their rich texture and minerality, and late harvest wines transform bold blue cheeses through the interaction of sweetness with salt and bitter notes. Each pairing demonstrates why wine and cheese remain one of France's most celebrated culinary traditions.
