What to expect
Your day begins in Beaune, moving between three tasting locations as your guide navigates the nuances of Burgundy's complex appellation hierarchy. Each stop involves entering working cellars or tasting rooms where you'll taste directly from the domaine, learning how soil, exposure, and winemaking choices shape the final bottle. The Château de Vougeot visit breaks up tastings with a scenic vineyard drive. Expect to walk moderate distances at each location and spend roughly 45 minutes to an hour tasting and discussing wines per stop. Your guide contextualises each wine within Burgundy's strict classification system. Lunch is your own choice at a restaurant the guide recommends.
