Among the wines of the Bordeaux region, there are three distinctive areas: Médoc, famous for its fine red wines, the left of the Garonne with Graves and Sauternes, Saint-Emilion and its surroundings, Entre-Deux-Mers, and Côtes de Blaye. Most of the Châteaux, especially in Médoc, make sure that an informed representative is available to greet visitors, take them on a tour of the cellars, explain the processes involved in making the wine, and invite them to taste the most recent harvest; tours generally include visits to the cellars only, not the Châteaux themselves. In the Médoc area three wine museums are also worth a visit. The Maison du Vin also offers tastings of the region's wine on weekdays.

The most celebrated regional specialty is foie gras, specially prepared livers of geese and ducks, seasoned and stuffed with regional truffles. Confits (preserved goose and duck) are a key ingredient in a number of dishies. Fish and seafood, like carp stuffed with foie gras, mullet in red wine are also common. Oysters are served with Entre-deux-Mers wine, with tiny sausages or crepinettes. Meals are accompanied by the many fine wines of the region such as Médoc red wines, Graves dry whites or Sauterne sweet white wines and concluded with the region's Armagnac.
