Laure Gracy and Agence a la Source
I had the pleasure of meeting Laure GRACY at an event in Bordeaux this year. It was so refreshing to meet someone equally interesting in sharing the countryside and lesser known parts of France with clients. Laure is originally from near Pau, in the Pyrennes Atlantiques department of South-West France. While she works between Paris…
What is a Maison des Vins?
Some Maison du Vin will offer classes or picnics if booked in advance, like in Podensac. They often have some bottles open for free tastings, or for small fees of around 5-10 EURO.

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. Learn what was coming through this major port for the last two thousand years. Discover what has been fished for centuries from the river Garonne which passes through the Port de la Lune? For the majority of human history, the overseas expeditions have been searches for foods. Pepper, vanilla, and, of course, wine are just a few goods which would have funneled through Bordeaux. We will go down the rabbit hole together and explore the recipes that define the region.
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!
