From Burgundy to the Rhone Valley: world-famous French wines and villages | wine tour

Share/like this post:

Our tour begins in Burgundy, a region renowned for its exceptional wines, beautiful vineyards, and world-famous villages, including Gevrey-Chambertin, Meursault, and Vosne-Romanée.

We’ll stay for four nights in Beaune, a town with a cosy, small-town vibe yet a global reputation thanks to its celebrated wines. Just a short stroll from the town centre, you are surrounded by vines.

From Burgundy, we head south to the Rhône Valley, ending in Avignon. We make a stop in the village of Tain l’Hermitage for a Northern Rhône experience, and then we continue down to the Southern Rhône, which is nowadays an exciting place, buzzing with energy.

Once known for simple, affordable wines, the region now boasts stars whose bottles fetch high prices, though great value can still be found. If you are into grenache, syrah, or cinsault, this is the place. Along the way, we will meet passionate producers, savour Provençal cuisine, explore the Papal Palace, and soak in the stunning scenery.

Come on this exceptional tour to two of the world’s most respected wine regions with BKWine, one of the world’s leading wine tour operators (*).
