Burgundy Bike Tour with Wine Tasting from Beaune

About this tour

Cycle through Burgundy's Côte de Beaune on this seven-hour guided tour, starting from Beaune with a minivan transfer to higher elevation. You'll descend through vineyard-dotted villages including Pommard, Volnay, and Meursault, stopping at a medieval castle or Chassagne estate for wine education and tastings. A local winery visit in Pommard rounds out the afternoon, followed by lunch at a village restaurant and return transport to Beaune. E-bikes available.

What to expect

You'll start with a minivan ride to the tour's highest point for a safety briefing, then spend most of the day on two wheels. The route follows largely downhill paths through working vineyards and quiet village lanes—expect uneven surfaces and moderate exertion, though e-bikes reduce physical demand. Two structured wine tastings bracket your day: the first at a castle or estate focusing on regional varieties and soil nuances, the second at a working Pommard cellar. Lunch happens mid-afternoon at a casual spot where locals eat. Weather rarely stops this tour; come prepared for rain or cold.
