Our tour starts in Burgundy, in the region of Côte d’Or. This is where you will find the most famous and magnificent Burgundy wines. Burgundy is a region where the winemakers’ sense of terroir reaches its absolute peak. Here, the slight differences between different vineyards are taken advantage of like nowhere else. We may not always feel the same difference as the winegrower himself between each plot, but it is still impressive. This gives winemakers a great understanding of the land they cultivate.
During our tour, we will spend time in the Côte d’Or, where some of the world’s most famous and sought-after Burgundy wines are produced. We will mainly visit small growers but also some of the renowned wine houses with their magnificent old cellars.
We will stay four nights in Beaune, a pretty, medieval town. It is small but lively, as many wine enthusiasts are drawn to Beaune and its surrounding vineyards.
Our days in Burgundy will take you behind the scenes of some small (and some slightly larger) producers. You will taste some fantastic wines, including many grand cru.
Our lunches will include both Burgundian specialities, not least delicious cheeses, and fine gastronomic cuisine.
After Burgundy, we continue south to the Rhône Valley.
We will spend one night in the small village of Tain l’Hermitage, right in the middle of the Hermitage and Crozes-Hermitage appellations. We will then continue to the southern part of the Rhône Valley, a region rich in history and with a stunning landscape. The most famous wine here is Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and we will, of course, visit some producers here and admire what is left of the Papal summer chateau in the picturesque village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
