The Burgundy & Champagne Grand Tour

September 23 – October 1

This nine-day Grand Tour Burgundy-Champagne offers an exclusive exploration of two of France’s most prestigious terroirs. Beginning in the historic heart of Burgundy, you’ll spend four nights in Beaune, traversing the Côte d’Or to sample world-class pinot noir and chardonnay from legendary Grand Cru vineyards (yes, you could call it a deep dive in Burgundy!). You will not only taste and drink the wines but also walk in the vineyards and feel the magic soil.

The journey then moves north to Champagne, after a quick visit to Chablis, for four nights in Reims. From the chalky cellars of world-famous houses to the confidential estates of boutique “grower’s champagne” producers, you’ll experience the full spectrum of sparkling wine.

The focus is the small growers, so difficult to find but so outstanding. With expert-led tastings and daily gastronomic lunches at private estates or regional restaurants, this extended itinerary perfectly blends luxury with enjoyment with with deep viticultural insight. What else would you expect from people who have written 13 wine books?
