The Côte de Beaune, which stretches down 25km of countryside, is a great all-round wine region. The reds are light and perfumed whilst the whites- especially those of Meursault and Montrachet – are amongst some of the best in the world. This is your chance to get to know all of them.

Highlights

• Enjoy a guided tour of the Hospices of Beaune, one of the most striking and remarkable works of architecture in the whole of France.
• Tour and taste at two estates – one in Santenay and one in Meursault – with lunch at the former.
• Taste at least 12 wines through the course of the day, from the Pinot Noirs of Beaune to the Chardonnays of Meursault.

Tour Gallery

Day 1

You’ll begin the morning in Beaune, where you’ll receive a guided tour around the Hospices of Beaune – famous for its colourful, polychromatic tile roof and spectacular triptych paintings and tapestries. Afterward, you’ll depart to a local domain in Santenay for a tour of the winery and a tasting of the wines, before lunch (with accompanying wines, of course). You’ll then journey across the roads of the Grand Crus through Montrachet to a second domain in Meursault, with cellars dating back to the 15th century and some of the most prestigious wines in Burgundy. Here, there’ll be another tour – and more tastings – before being driven back to Beaune or Dijon.
