The Wine Tour, a fantastic journey

By jeep or limousine, with friends, as a couple or a business seminar, a Wine Tour is first and foremost a wonderful journey through Burgundy's wine-growing country and heritage. A great escape, combining an introduction to wine, rambles and tastings... From complete beginners to well-informed wine-lovers, everyone can become familiar with Burgundy's finest wines on this journey of discovery.

What exactly is a Wine Tour?

Introduction to vines, wine and tasting, professionally accompanied tour of an estate, round trip with or without accommodation... From simplest option to totally customised trip, a Wine Tour leaves nothing to chance. You are free to concentrate on essentials and let others guide you through the Burgundy wine-growing area!

Chauffer-driven 2CV

Free and easy ride through the Auxerrois hills in one of France's best known and loved cars! The Chablisien, Jovinien, Irancy, Crémants de Bourgogne... a day trip during which your chauffeur introduces you to the wide range of appellations in northern Burgundy. During this super excursion you stop off for tastings and gourmet meals at some of the best places in the Yonne.

By jeep or limousine

In a squad of one to eight jeeps, the roads running through southern Burgundy's vineyards can also be the setting for a nostalgic journey. Lower the windscreen and take the wheel yourself, if you want! From Savigny-les-Beaune to Mâcon, by way of châteaux in the Tournugeois, there are over 7 country routes successfully combining history, wine and heritage.

Or you can choose an excursion in a luxury car – sit back and enjoy the scenery in total comfort. Commented tours of Dijon, Beaune, Nevers or Cluny are the perfect prelude to wine tasting sessions.

Customised options

Why not opt for total, tailor-made sophistication? Choose your own destination, the appellations and towns which you wish to explore: a specialist agency will organise your visits and help you choose the best restaurants. You are assured of first class service, including chauffeur-driven car, top quality accommodation and visits.
