Overview

  • Our favourite way to fall for Burgundy: two family cellars, the Château du Clos de Vougeot and a three-course Burgundian lunch, shared with up to six fellow wine lovers. Everything a first visit needs, in one relaxed day.

    • Burgundy, from the inside: we are a family business based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, hosting English-speaking travellers since 2004. You arrive as our guests, not as a booking number.

    • The families behind the bottle: cellar visits and tastings with the families who make the wine, in small domaines that rarely open their doors to the public. 10 to 12 wines, ending on a Grand Cru.

    • The cradle of Pinot Noir: the 12th-century Château du Clos de Vougeot, built by Cistercian monks, with entry included.

    • A real Burgundian lunch: three courses and two Burgundy wines in a village bistro, included in the price.

    • Small group, guaranteed departure: 7 guests maximum in our air-conditioned minivan, with a local specialist guide who knows every winemaker by name.

Activity itinerary

Monthelie

  • 1h 30m
Meet your specialist guide in Beaune at 9:30am and head into the vineyards for the first family winery of the day. Tour the cellars with the family who makes the wine, hear the story behind their labels and taste a selection of Burgundy reds and whites, from Village to Premier Cru. Winery shown as an example: estates vary with availability and are always replaced by an estate of equal standing.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

  • 1h 30m
Sit down to a three-course Burgundian lunch in a village bistro, with two Burgundy wines, shared with your small group. Lunch is included in the tour price. At lunch the conversation never stops: a table of people who came for the same reason as you.

Chateau du Clos de Vougeot

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Visit the Château du Clos de Vougeot, built by Cistercian monks in the 12th century: the cradle of Burgundy Pinot Noir. Walk through the great hall and the monks' giant wine presses while your guide tells the story of how Burgundy's vineyards came to be. Entry is included.

Vosne-Romanee

  • 1h 30m
Drive the Route des Grands Crus to a second family winery in the Côte de Nuits. A cellar visit and tasting with the family, ending the day on a Grand Cru: the perfect way to compare the reds and whites of the morning with the great Pinot Noir villages. Winery shown as an example: estates vary with availability and are always replaced by an estate of equal standing.

Beaune

  • 30m
Return to Beaune along the Route des Grands Crus, arriving around 5:30pm, with your roadbook of the day's wines to take home. This is a sample itinerary: the route and the wineries visited may vary depending on grower availability, while the level of the day stays the same.
