Enjoy a unique cheese and wine tasting experience during your stay in Bordeaux, set in one of the city’s oldest and most authentic cheese cellars. Hidden beneath the restaurant, the famous “Cave of 100 Cheeses” welcomes you into an 18th-century vaulted underground cellar where French culinary heritage comes alive. This family-run institution, founded in 1987, offers a joyful and convivial Tour de France of Cheeses, guided by passionate hosts who share anecdotes, stories, and fun facts throughout the tasting.

Seated around a large communal table, you’ll sample 9 AOP/AOC French cheeses from different regions, paired with 3 Bordeaux wines, dry white, red, and Sauternes, and accompanied by traditional sourdough bread from a local neighborhood bakery. This relaxed and interactive experience celebrates sharing, simplicity, laughter, and the pleasure of good food enjoyed together, in true French art de vivre.
