What to expect
You'll depart your Paris hotel at 07:00 and travel by TGV, arriving in Beaune by mid-morning. After a guided walk around the Hospice's distinctive polychrome roof and courtyards, you'll settle in for lunch. The bulk of your day—roughly three hours—is spent at three working family estates, where owners or their representatives walk you through their cellars and pour current releases. Expect casual, hands-on conversation rather than formal presentations. By 17:15 you're heading back to the station; the return train lands you home by 19:30.
Good to know
Train times are fixed, so punctuality matters. Wine tastings are generous but beverages aren't included in the price—budget for purchases if you wish to take bottles home. The route involves moderate walking on uneven cellar floors and staircases; strollers and wheelchairs are accommodated but may face tight spaces.
