What a fantastic tour with two wine tastings. Truly enjoyed the intimate experience in Fixin and again in Vougeot. Our guide was so nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The vans are spotless and the AC works great! Easy to find the meeting spot in Dijon. We had a wonderful time! Highly recommended!

The chosen visit sites were great. With Adam as our guide, along with the hosts, we learned different things about Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at each stop. The wines chosen-regional, village or premier crus-were different at each stop as well, for a good tasting variety. The photo stops along the Route de Vin were breathtaking with the golden leaves of the vines still intact. I highly recommend this tour, which is a good value.

We had an absolutely wonderful time!
Importantly, your tour guide in Dijon, Leonie, was incredible and knowledgeable. She made the whole trip very special and gave us the most thorough service and attention. Please do pass on our best to her. She is also helping us coordinate a wine purchase for shipment to the United States.
