Unusual exploration of the terroirs of Burgundy in 2CV - from 6 people

About this tour

Spend eight hours rattling through Burgundy's vineyard-studded landscape in a lovingly restored 2CV, guided by a wine specialist who'll decode what makes each terroir distinct. You'll taste across the hierarchy—Village, Premier Cru, Grand Cru—directly from growers, learn to read a wine's nose and its label, then picnic amongst the vines with local bottles and proper food. A sensory deep-dive into why this corner of France matters so much to wine.

Highlights

• Navigate Burgundy backroads in restored, colourful 2CVs with convertible roofs
• Taste three tiers of Burgundy wines straight from vineyard producers
• Olfactory workshop decoding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay aromatics
• Picnic in vineyards with regional wines and freshly sourced provisions

What to expect

You'll meet at the start point and climb into your assigned 2CV—expect wind in your hair and narrow country roads rather than motorways. The morning unfolds as a blend of driving and stops: your guide will pull over to explain plot history, soil composition, and why adjacent parcels taste completely different. By mid-morning you'll enter a working vineyard for the first tasting, tasting three distinct bottles whilst standing where the grapes grew. After a historic monument visit (Hospices or Château), you'll settle into your picnic spot—blankets, local charcuterie, cheese, bread, water—with a second vineyard tasting nearby or back at the vineyard itself. The afternoon includes a structured olfactory session, learning to identify primary scents in young wines.
