Private Burgundy wine tasting in Saint Bris Le Vineux

Taste Burgundy wines the way the Félix family has made them since 1690

A private wine tasting at the Félix family estate in Saint Bris Le Vineux, where a guide leads you into the cellar to sample white, rosé and red wines while explaining the region's winemaking heritage and the minerality that defines Saint-Bris wines. The tasting lasts about an hour and includes a cellar visit. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

Saint Bris Le Vineux sits 180 kilometers south of Paris in Burgundy's wine country, and the Félix family has been rooted here since 1690. You'll be welcomed into their estate and guided down into the cellar itself (not a tasting room, but the working heart of the operation), where you taste their white, rosé and red wines in the setting where they're made. The guide walks you through what you're tasting: the minerality that marks Saint-Bris wines, the citrus and peach notes on the nose, the way the region's young appellations like Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre are reshaping Burgundy's reputation.

The tasting is private, so the pace and the questions are yours. A guide fluent in English or French leads the experience, and because the group is just your party, you're not waiting for others to catch up or holding back your curiosity. The cellar visit and the tasting together take about an hour, leaving the rest of your afternoon free to explore the village or move on to another stop in the region.
