Day 1 Arrival in Beaune

Arrival in Beaune in the morning (we can offer you an extra transport service from your city/region)
Depending on your arrival time, you can leave your luggage in the luggage room or go directly to your room.

Beaune, the capital of Burgundy wines, is world famous for its Hospice wine sale in autumn. The treasure of the city is without context its Hôtel-Dieu.
Founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Dukes of Burgundy, it is emblematic of the region's hospital heritage: a veritable palace for the poor, it is the most eloquent example of Burgundian Flemish art. Its polychrome roofs are famous.
The polyptych of the Last Judgement, commissioned from the painter Rogier van der Weyden, remains the jewel in the crown of the collections.

Day 2 Day dedicated to the great wines of Burgundy

After breakfast at the hotel, departure with your coach.
We organise for you an unforgettable experience in the heart of Burgundy's wine industry.
In an estate near Beaune, you will first be welcomed by a vineyard professional who will take you for a walk in the vineyards of his estate. He will explain the terroir and the climats of Burgundy, listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site, the classification of wines as well as the work of the vine and the winegrower.
Your visit will continue in the cellars of the estate. The tasting will also be an opportunity to explain the harvest, fermentation, barrel ageing and bottling.
The winegrower sommelier will be able to answer any questions you may have!

You will then sit down for a tasting lunch at the estate's table d'hôtes.
This will be an opportunity to taste the food and wine pairings.
Example of menus subject to change:
Bavarois tomatoes, fresh goat's cheese, basil and its tapenade crouton
Leg of duck confit with vegetable wok
Selection of regional cheeses
Morello cherry clafoutis

The wines served are those of the Domaine and are presented by the sommelier during lunch.
You will return to our coach and discover the villages with names evocative of delicious beverages along the route des grands crus. Puligny Montrachet, Meursault, Pommard, Pernand-Vergelesses, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin...

You will visit the famous Clos de Vougeot castle.
This castle is today the emblem of the wine coast for all the visitors and wine lovers of the world; it is indeed in the middle of the vines that the monks of the Abbey of Citeaux built in the 12th century a vat house and a cellar.

You will then return to Beaune.
