Christian tradition, the advent calendar originally revealed pious images to little children. Just as Christmas has first and foremost become a commercial celebration, this preliminary calendar has become widely used and diversified with all types of products. Among these, there are also gourmet and local versions and here is a 100% Bordeaux and Gironde selection. Choices from Yannick Revel, author of the blog Bon sud Bon genre.

Who says advent calendar says chocolate. For Hasnaa Chocolats, her passion is boxed into not one, but two different calendars; one gourmet who will bring together young and old, and the other more traveler for cocoa lovers. More traditional but just as delicious, the work of the Saunion house also lends itself to the game of boxes. An offer declined in two proposals, to feast on the pleasures resulting from this chocolate factory classified as Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV), delighting the people of Bordeaux since 1893. Alongside these premium suggestions, we can find another less expensive proposal at the Lalere chocolate factory who has concocted an enticing assortment of ganaches and pralines.

For lovers of dairy treasures, there is the box of the cheese maker in Floirac, delivery in two stages. And this is not the only one on this concept since on the Talence side, Les Fromages de Manon selects 24 portions to come and collect twice in the store. Result: 24 days of discovery with no less than 1.2kg of cheese in total.
Need to warm up? The Bordeaux tea house Chris’Teas has put in its calendar a selection of teas and infusions, 24 emblematic blends of its work, perfect for the season.
Lovers of hopped pleasures will turn to a calendar composed with the creations of local craft breweries. There are foams brewed by Bordeaux Beer Factory, La p’tite Martial (Bordeaux), Gasconha (Pessac), There’s a witch in my beer (La Réole), the Microbrasserie Béglaise, La Louve Grise (Vayres), Mad ‘Occ (Macau) and La Canaulaise (Lacanau).
