What to expect
Your guide will meet you and outline the day's route based on your interests and energy level. You'll drive through the Côte de Nuits in a comfortable minivan, stopping at carefully chosen producers. Each tasting introduces you to different expressions of Pinot Noir and the terroir concept that defines Burgundy. The guide talks you through what's in your glass—structure, age, vineyard position—rather than deliver lectures. Around midday you'll sit down in a village restaurant for lunch (budget 25–40€). Tastings resume in the afternoon. Bring an appetite for detail and honest conversation about wine; expect to sample real work, not showpieces.
