★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $275

Meet at 61 Cours Pasteur in central Bordeaux for a private pastry workshop taught in English, French, or Spanish. You may work on local favorites such as cannelés and Dunes blanches, with choux pastry also featured in past classes. The session lasts about two hours and ends where it begins.

“My boyfriend and I were traveling to Bordeaux for the first time and decided to sign up for a pastry masterclass. We love to cook/bake and thought this would be fun! We absolutely loved our teacher, Sandra. We made choux pastries. They’re such a delicate dessert, and Sandra made us both feel so confident and encouraged to take on the challenge. She guided us through all the steps and made the process of making those pastries so easy. She’s also such a great conversationalist and a wonderful teacher. Would definitely recommend this to anyone, whether you have cooking experience or not.”
