Tour Options

During the booking process, you can opt for the following options:

Cruise + Glass of Wine & Canalé 

At the scheduled time, we’ll depart from the Ponton d’Honneur pier to begin a relaxing cruise along the Garonne River. This tour is focused on Bordeaux's culture. You’re sure to love it!

As we sail through Bordeaux, we’ll admire the city’s beautiful architecture from the boat’s panoramic decks, closely linked to its long-standing wine tradition. Throughout the journey, we’ll share interesting stories about the close relationship between Bordeaux and the Garonne River. Along the way, we’ll also take in iconic landmarks such as the buildings of Place de la Bourse, the Stone Bridge, and the Aquitaine Bridge.

During the cruise, you’ll enjoy a glass of Bordeaux wine or a soft drink, depending on your preference. To accompany it, you’ll savor a delicious Baillardran canelé, one of Bordeaux’s most famous sweet treats. As we pass by landmarks such as the Chaban-Delmas Bridge, the Cité du Vin, and some of the city’s most beautiful façades, we’ll indulge our sweet tooth. Could there be a better way to experience Bordeaux?

After 1.5-hours on the water, we’ll end the cruise by returning to the same pier where we began.

Cruise + 2 Glasses of Wine, Canalé, & Apéritif

In this case, we'll follow the same itinerary previously described. The difference is that this route will be more focused on Bordeaux's cuisine

Throughout the cruise, a specialized sommelier will accompany us on board, and we'll enjoy 2 glasses of Bordeaux wine, a canalé, and an apéro, a delicious apéritif that includes a selection of local cured meats and other products.
