What to expect
Your guide picks you up in an air-conditioned car and navigates the quiet roads linking Burgundy's most prestigious villages. Expect leisurely stops at two or three working domains where you'll taste directly with producers—they'll explain soil composition, aging techniques, and what distinguishes a village wine from a grand cru. In Beaune, you'll walk down into cool stone vaults where bottles rest in darkness, understanding how cellars maintain perfect conditions. The Dijon leg covers its old town on foot, revealing Renaissance facades and the region's gastronomic roots. Tastings involve actual sips, not just sniffs—bring an appetite.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for cellar and town exploration. Morning tours often work better for tasting clarity. Designate a non-drinker or use the driver option if you want to taste freely. Most domains request at least a week's notice; your guide typically arranges this. Burgundy can be cool even in summer.
