What to expect
You're collected from your Paris hotel at 7 am for the Gare de Lyon run. The TGV whisks you to Burgundy in under 90 minutes. A local guide meets you at 9:30 am for the Hospices de Beaune—a striking Gothic courtyard and working museum of wine history. Lunch follows at midday. The afternoon splits across three separate estates: you'll taste your way through their cellars, learning how terroir shapes these prized bottles. Expect frank talk about production methods and honest comparisons between vintages. By 5 pm you're back on the train to Paris, arriving around 7:30 pm.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes; estate visits involve cellar walks and standing tastings. Wine tastings are generous—spit if you need to stay sharp. The day suits moderate fitness levels; not ideal for pregnant travellers or those with heart concerns. Drinks beyond tastings cost extra. Train times are fixed; late hotel pickup means a missed departure.
