Burgundy Wine Tour: Montrachet Grand Cru & Family Winery

Taste three estates in one afternoon, from UNESCO vineyard to family cellar

A full-day activity from Beaune through Burgundy's Côte d'Or, visiting Montrachet Grand Cru and a family-run winery with tastings at each stop, plus a gourmet lunch of local charcuterie and cheese paired with wine. A local English-speaking guide leads groups of at least two in an air-conditioned minivan. Children from age 4 are welcome.

Step-by-step itinerary

Explore Burgundy vineyards and tastings

• Enjoy charcuterie and cheese platter
• Learn about Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard
• Visit family-run winery and taste wines

The experience

Five and a half hours takes you through three distinct stops, each one built around wine and food. You start at an estate where charcuterie and artisanal cheeses meet local wines. The pairing is the point, not just the tasting. Then you move into the Montrachet Grand Cru, a UNESCO-designated vineyard that produces some of the world's most sought-after white wines. Your guide walks you through the terroir and explains what makes this particular slope legendary. The vineyard itself is the classroom.

The day closes at a family-run winery where winemaking has passed down through generations. Here you see the process from vine to glass and taste directly from their selection. The winemakers themselves are part of the experience. These are people who live the work, not staff reciting talking points. Transport between stops happens in an air-conditioned minivan, and lunch is built into the itinerary so you're not hunting for a table mid-afternoon.

The group stays small by design: a minimum of two people means you're never in a crowd, and the maximum keeps the pace intimate. English-speaking guides lead every departure. If you have dietary needs (vegetarian, allergies, preferences), mention them at booking and they'll adjust the lunch accordingly.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (4 to 11 years). Children under 4 can't be included in the booking.

What exactly is Montrachet Grand Cru and why does it matter?

Montrachet is a UNESCO World Heritage vineyard in Burgundy's Côte d'Or, classified for producing some of the world's finest white wines. The tour includes a guided walk through the vineyard itself, where your guide explains the terroir and the winemaking secrets that make this slope exceptional.

How much wine tasting happens during the day?

You taste at two separate stops: first at the estate with the charcuterie and cheese lunch, then again at the family winery at the end of the day. Each tasting is paired with food or built into the winemaking tour, so you're tasting in context, not just sampling.

Is lunch included, and what if I have dietary restrictions?

Lunch is included as a gourmet charcuterie and cheese platter paired with local wines at the first estate. Tell the operator about any dietary requirements (vegetarian, allergies, preferences) when you book and they'll adjust the menu.

Do I need to arrange my own way to the starting point?

The tour departs from Beaune and uses an air-conditioned minivan for all transport between stops. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you'll need to make your own way to the meeting point. Public transportation options are available nearby.
