Corsican Gastronomy & Artisan Market: Private Gourmet Half-Day

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.
