What to expect
Your guide, a Côte de Nuits native, collects you for a leisurely drive through rolling vineyards. You'll stop at carefully curated estates to taste their wines, learning why specific parcels earn Premier Cru status and how microclimates shape each bottle's character. Expect detailed conversation about soil, aspect, and production rather than rushed tastings. Mid-tour, you'll eat lunch at a village restaurant—budget €25–€40 per person for a proper French menu. The pace is unhurried; plan to spend two to three hours simply talking wine and sipping.
