Taste your way through the island's soul — chestnut honey, wild boar charcuterie, aged brocciu cheese, and Corsican AOC wines — on a private gourmet tour of Ajaccio's market and artisan producers with a passionate local food guide.
What to expect
The morning begins at the Marché du Cours Napoléon, Ajaccio's vibrant covered market, where your guide navigates the stalls — selecting the finest lonzu (smoked loin), prisuttu (cured ham), and brocciu frais. You move to a specialist wine merchant for a guided tasting of Patrimonio and Ajaccio AOC whites and reds, learning why Corsican terroir produces flavours found nowhere else in France. The tour concludes with a sit-down dégustation at a trusted address on Rue Cardinal Fesch — Corsican cheese board, fig preserve, and a glass of Cap Corse aperitif.
Good to know
Market is most vibrant 8am–1pm — ideal for morning port calls. The entire experience is within easy walking distance of the cruise pier. Confirm your private itinerary with your Guydeez guide in advance so tastings are pre-arranged. A cooler bag for purchases is recommended.
