From aged Namur cheese and artisan charcuterie to abbey ales and the region's finest dark chocolate, a private local food expert curates a tasting journey through Wallonia's proudest culinary traditions — the most delicious way to know a city.
What to expect
Your guide steers you through the covered market and specialist shops of the old town, introducing you to the fromager who ages Namur's pungent Maquée, the chocolatier working single-origin Belgo-Congo cacao, and the cave-aged charcuterie that pairs perfectly with a tulip glass of Trappist Rochefort 10. Sit down in a traditional estaminet for a curated tasting plate of Walloon classics — boudin, fromage de Herve, speculoos — matched to three regional craft beers chosen for the season. End with a private tasting of Crémant de Wallonie at a specialist wine merchant.
Good to know
The circuit starts and ends in the Grand Place area — no transport required. Comfortable shoes recommended; the cobblestones are charming but uneven. Contact Namur Tourisme directly to arrange a bespoke private food circuit; minimum 48 hours' notice. Confirm all-aboard time — 3 hours is the sweet spot.
