What to expect
Your guide will drive you through the rolling slopes of Côte de Beaune, stopping at several estates where you'll taste directly from producers. Expect to learn how microclimate differences shape flavour profiles and why Burgundy's classification system differs from other wine regions. You'll walk modest distances between vineyard parcels and spend time in cellar or tasting rooms. Mid-day, you'll sit down to a proper French lunch in a village setting.
