What to expect
Your guide collects you in a climate-controlled Mercedes for a structured journey through Burgundy's vineyard landscape. You'll visit working cellars where the wines are made, tasting directly from producers rather than in a tasting room. Conversation focuses on terroir, production methods and the character of each wine, pitched to whether you're starting out or already collecting. Mid-tour, you'll eat the traditional mâchon—think cured meats, local cheeses, fresh bread—either sitting in a vineyard or at a modest local table. The day moves at a steady pace, with time to absorb what you're learning between stops.
Good to know
Book ahead; small groups fill quickly. Wear comfortable shoes for vineyard walks and bring a light layer—cellars stay cool year-round. The pace suits all fitness levels. Prams and service animals are welcome. Public transport links are nearby if needed.
