Full-Day Burgundy Wine & Gastonomy: Tastings & Gourmet Lunch
Description
- The "Bistronomy" Experience: Unlike standard tours with quick snacks, we enjoy a refined 3-course meal in the heart of the vineyards, perfectly paired with local wines. - A Rare Bridge: We don't just visit big names. We provide privileged access to "Rising Star" winemakers and private family domains often closed to the general public. - Educational Mastery: We simplify the complex "Climats" of Burgundy. Whether it’s Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, you’ll leave with the confidence of a true connoisseur. - Comfort & Intimacy: Travel the legendary Route des Grands Crus in our premium 7/8 seater van. Small groups mean personal attention and a convivial atmosphere where strangers become friends.

Highly recommend booking this if you want the best experience going to incredible wineries on your visit to Burgundy. We visited 3 incredible wineries and learned so much about the regional wine. The wonderful lunch and air conditioned car during the summer heat were bonuses!
Spent the day with our guide in a clean, large, air conditioned suv. He was exceptionally well versed in the wine making process and the history of the region. He drove us through some vineyards and some wine producing towns. We got to stop several times to take pictures of the beautiful vineyards. It was interesting to also hear about the economics of wineries and the closing of vineyards in Bordeaux. I found that most fascinating. Our guide was very well versed and passionate about the information he presented. We eventually stopped at a winery tasting room and tasted several wines. After driving through some more beautiful vineyards we stopped for lunch at a modern restaurant that had many locals there having a nice upscale lunch. After lunch we went to what looked like someone's garage in a neighborhood Once inside it was a treat! We met the most friendly delightful sister in the family owned winery. Her enthusiasm and warmth was truly compelling. We saw the steel tanks and some barrels, Their wines were delicious and we all bought some wine. Lastly we drove to another town right near Beaune, a large tasting and sales room. The rep was sweet, enthusiastic and we tasted several high end delicious white and ted Burgundy. wines , from the less complex village to the highest classification wines of Montrachet. I enjoyed pretty much all of them and purchased several to ship home. We were dropped off as promised back in Beaune around 5:30. I was lucky there was only one couple with me on the tour, very congenial. It was an excellent Burgundy wine education and I came away knowing much more about their wines, the history and economics. much rsch eind an
Great experience! The guide Dylan was extremely attentive, polite, explained a lot about the wines, vineyards and winegrowers of the region of Burgundy. We visited Domaine Moillard > Meursault, Domaine Jean Fery > Echevronne, Domaine Bertagna > Vougeot, where we tasted high quality wines. Our tour was private and in Van of new and high standard finish. In short, everything exceeded our expectations!

We spent 1 1/2 days with Burgundy Discovery on May 26 and 27, from our hotel in Beaune. Thomas was our guide for the whole time. The overall experience was superb and Thomas was excellent! We spent time at 5 different wineries across the Cote D'Or across 2 days. Thomas was incredibly friendly and personable, and his knowledge of Burgundy wines is exhaustive. The staff at these wineries (including several of the actual winemakers) were all very friendly and engaging. In addition to the winery experience, Thomas was very informative as to the overall region, both in terms of geography, interesting places to see and recommended restaurants.
Jeffrey, What a joy to read about your magical days with us! We are thrilled you enjoyed your 1.5-day discovery of the Côte d'Or from Beaune. Thomas truly embodies our passion for Burgundy, and we're delighted his extensive knowledge and friendly approach made your visits to five wineries so memorable, especially meeting the winemakers. It sounds like a perfect immersion. We hope to welcome you back to Burgundy very soon! Burgundy Discovery Team
We had a great time and Tom was the best. Very knowledgeable and funny. We learned a lot about the region and tasting wine and had so many delicious tastings. Tom really took care of us. Thank you!
Amazing day. Our guide Thomas was incredibly knowledgeable and also very entertaining. This is our first trip to the Burgundy region and we tasted some exceptional wines, had a great lunch and I now FINALLY understand enough about the region and their unique rules to find a wine to our tastes on the massive wine lists that all the great restaurants have.
AusJillinTahoe, What a delight to read your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely thrilled you had such an amazing day discovering Burgundy with us. It's fantastic to hear that Thomas made your first trip to the region so memorable, combining his deep knowledge with great entertainment – I will be sure to pass on your kind words to him. We are so pleased you enjoyed the exceptional wines and a delicious lunch, and especially glad that you now feel confident navigating Burgundy's unique appellations. Burgundy Discovery Team
Thomas was not only a lot of fun but gave us a wonderful introduction into the region and its outstanding wines!
Johan was a phenomenal guide. He was intensely knowledgeable and he perfectly balanced sharing technical wine information with sharing local facts and stories. The wineries chosen were intentional and a strong variety from small family owned domaines to larger producers. Additionally, lunch was fantastic and in a quaint restaurant.
Excellent value-for-money winery experience, three authentic and unique Burgundy wineries (around 5 wines to taste at each winery) as well as a delicious, premium three-course lunch and wine. Our guide, Thom, was knowledgeable, warm, entertaining, fun and inclusive. I recommend for fellow Burgundy wine enthusiasts who want to learn more about the very special wine region of Burgundy and have fun along the way (and enjoy a delicious lunch in the process). 5/5
Our guide was serious about wine. We went to three places for tasting, all v cool. Lunch was at a bustling local eatery. Multi course and delicious.
