About this tour
A 13-hour private tour from Paris into Burgundy's wine country, driven by a knowledgeable guide through rolling vineyards and medieval villages. You'll explore Beaune's architecture and its legendary hospital, then venture into the classified appellations—Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet—stopping at working estates like Château Pommard or Santenay. This is countryside wine culture on your own schedule, not a coach full of tourists.
Highlights
- Beaune's Hospice with its distinctive tile roof and wine legacy
- Private transport through Burgundy's classified vineyard zones
- Access to producer estates; tastings available on the day
- Villages built around centuries of winemaking tradition
- Hotel collection and return, no group waiting
What to expect
Your guide collects you early and drives you south into Burgundy proper. Expect winding roads through ordered rows of vines, stops in small villages where the cellar doors belong to families, not corporations. In Beaune, you'll walk the old town and see the Hospice—its history tied directly to the wine sold beneath its arches. The actual estate visits depend on what's open that day; your guide arranges this in real time. Tastings are additional and paid on-site. This is observation and explanation rather than rushed tourism—time to absorb how geography, tradition and soil translate into what's in your glass.
Good to know
Entrance to the Hospice, meals, and winery tastings cost extra (roughly €10–20 each). Wear weather-appropriate clothing; the tour runs regardless. The vehicle and all stops are wheelchair accessible. Bring comfortable shoes for village walking.
