Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide. It was just the two of us on the tour, so we had the guide all to ourselves. He was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the area and its history – and of course about wine. We drove through beautiful landscapes and tasted great wines at two wineries. A perfect tour. Highly recommended!

They gave us a tour introducing the vineyard and its terroir, with detailed explanations that were truly enriching. We tasted five Grand Cru wines, and they even offered us an extra Premier Cru to compare — an experience you wouldn’t get at a regular tasting. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the cote de Beaune tour. Our tour guide Adam was very knowledgeable and the tastings included interesting wines which helped build knowledge. Be prepared to want to take at least a couple of bottles home!
