Dijon: Côte de Nuits & Beaune Wine Tasting Small Group

Two vineyard regions, five wines, one morning in Burgundy's wine capital

You visit two of Burgundy's most famous vineyard regions in a single day, taste Premier Cru wines at a working cellar with a bilingual expert, and spend free time exploring Beaune's historic center on your own. The group caps at eight people, which means personal attention and no crowding at the tastings. Hotel pickup and return are included. Lunch in Beaune is on you.

The experience

The minivan picks you up in Dijon and heads straight into the Côte de Nuits, where the vines start almost immediately. Your guide (bilingual, trained in Burgundy's winemaking) walks you through what you're looking at: the slope, the soil, why this particular hillside produces what it does. You'll stop at a local winery's cellar, taste through five to seven wines (Premier Cru included in both tastings), and actually understand the difference between what's happening in the glass instead of just nodding along. The guide doesn't rush it.

After the morning tasting, you move south into the Côte de Beaune, another stop, another set of wines. By then you've started to notice the patterns: how the terroir shifts, how the winemaker's hand shows up in the bottle. Around midday the group rolls into Beaune itself, the actual heart of Burgundy wine country, and you get two hours loose in the old town. Lunch isn't included, which means you're not herded into a set restaurant. You can eat where you want, sit where you want, or just walk the medieval streets and grab something small. The guide stays available if you have questions, but the time is yours.

The group stays under eight people, which changes how the day feels. You're not standing in a crowd at the cellar. You're close enough to ask the winemaker a real question. The minivan is air-conditioned, the water is provided, and the driver knows the roads. It's a full day (you're moving between two regions and tasting seriously), but it's paced so you're not exhausted by the time you're back in Dijon.

What’s included
