About this activity
Meet your guide in the morning near the train station in Dijon and take a seat in your air-conditioned minivan. Then, head off into rural Burgundy — where lush vineyards line the rolling hillsides. Along the way, admire sweeping views over the Corton Grand Cru region in beautiful Côte de Beaune.
First, explore the pretty town of Beaune as your guide sheds light on the region’s winemaking traditions and history. Stroll along winding, cobbled streets where life ticks past at a relaxing pace, and soak up the atmosphere in this impossibly beautiful corner of central France.
Next, visit the cellars of a local boutique winery, where a variety of vintages lie slowly maturing in gigantic oak barrels. Sample some of the delicate Premier Cru and Grand Cru red and white wines in production at the winery, and gain insight into the complex flavors in your glass.
Explore Beaune further at your leisure during free time, and maybe try other local produce such as blackcurrant liquor, spiced honey cake or aniseed candy. Perhaps visit La Moutarderie Fallot (own expense) — where delicious Burgundy mustard is made — and sample some of the diverse mustards in production. Then, return to your starting point in Dijon to conclude your tour.

I had the pleasure of having Mario who is among the best guides I've ever had, passionate and knowledgeable about wine, caring to make sure that we understand. There is large amount of detailed information that he mentioned during the tour, so I am sure that everyone can learn something from him. He is also a very kind person, sharing croissantes and providing bottled water for us, giving us recommendations on where to have lunch etc. Bonne continuation et à bientôt j’espère!
This tour led by Jeremy was a fantastic experience. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this region of Burgundy and its wine culture. Of course we all know the pedigree of its wines, but to have Jeremy explain the soil and geology, the history, the people involved and the vines was enlightening. The wines we got to taste were wonderful and we also enjoyed the break in a wine where we had a beautiful lunch at a really that Jeremy recommended. Thank you for the great experience.
It was a perfect day, 9.45 am she pick us up in the midle of dijon. Then she was drive us true the vineyards and explain us much of the geologie and vine. First tasting - lunch (in beaun by oure selfs) - second tasting all was perfect! thx from marc, marco, marcel, maro and marcel :-)
The trip includes 2 wineries and plenty of free time in Beaune for lunch and shopping or sightseeing. Our guide Ann was very knowledgeable about the area and the wines. She also was very obliging when we wanted to take some photos. We came back from the tour with good knowledge of the different wines of Burgundy. Thoroughly recommended
Thank you Thomas! You've heightened our sense to appreciate wine with your in-depth knowledge. Great tour with an even greater guide.
Very personal experience. Excellent guide was informative and entertaining. Got to see vineyards, wine cellars, and the beautiful city of Beaune up close and personal. Interacted with growers and towns people. Fun filled day of learning and social enjoyment.
Very educational, whether you know a lot about wine or only a little. I give it four stars instead of five because a I would've liked one more tasting three rather than just two, and b our guide, though knowledgable and delightful, spent a bit too much time flirting with the full-of-themselves young ladies from Singapore. You can't choose your fellow tourers of course, but this was a little off-putting. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the price.
This a great way to get real good info and access to wineries. And of course to taste wines. The guide was excellent- very knowledgeable, humorous, and a good commuicator (a Frenchman who spoke perfect English). If you’re visiting the area I recommend doing this tour!
