A Half-Day Immersive Experience in the Côte de Nuits
Discover the heart and soul of Burgundy on our flexible half-day wine tour to the Côte de Nuits. Departing from Dijon, this small-group experience is available in the morning and takes you into one of the most prestigious Pinot Noir regions in the world.
Depart from Dijon and Follow the Route des Grands Crus
Your tour begins in central Dijon, where you meet your English-speaking wine expert guide and board a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. Soon you’ll be driving along the iconic Route des Grands Crus, a legendary wine trail that links Dijon to the vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, and Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Along the way, enjoy breathtaking vistas of rolling vineyards, stone-walled plots (clos), and picturesque wine villages that form part of Burgundy’s UNESCO-listed climats.
Learn the Secrets of Burgundy Terroir
As you travel through the Côte de Nuits, your guide explains how geology, slope, exposure, and climate combine to create Burgundy’s famous mosaic of terroirs. Learn the difference between regional, village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru wines, and how centuries of history have shaped today’s appellations and classifications.
Visit Two Carefully Selected Wineries
Immerse yourself in the world of Pinot Noir with visits to two carefully chosen wineries in the Côte de Nuits wine area, such as around Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-Georges or the Hautes Côtes de Nuits. At each estate, you’ll discover the winemaking process from vine to bottle and enjoy a guided tasting in the cellar.
Sample a range of reds (and possibly a white Bourgogne) that showcase the elegance, structure, and complexity of Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir. Your guide will walk you through tasting techniques, flavor profiles, and how vintage and terroir influence each wine.
Capture the Essence of Burgundy
Photo stops are planned along the Route des Grands Crus so you can capture classic Burgundy landscapes: neatly aligned vines, historic stone walls, and village church spires rising above tiled roofs. This is an ideal opportunity for memorable photos and deeper appreciation of the vineyards you are tasting from.
Return to Dijon with New Insights
Our half-day tour is designed to maximize your time and enjoyment, offering a concentrated introduction to Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Return to Dijon with a newfound understanding of Burgundy’s terroir, appellations, and Pinot Noir, as well as a collection of unforgettable memories from one of France’s great wine regions.

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.
