From Burgundy to the Rhone Valley: the French wine tour

Share/like this post:

Wine tours are a lot about the experience. You will perhaps remember the wines you taste, or at least some of them. But you will most remember the people you meet.

Our Burgundy and Rhône Valley tour is our longest European wine tour. It means you will have a lot of experiences and meet many interesting people. You will, for instance, meet Christine, who will serve us a very typical home-made Burgundian lunch at her winery in the famous village of Gevrey-Chambertin, together with some exceptional premier cru and grand cru wines.

In Châteauneuf-du-Pape, we have lunch at one of the few real chateaux in the region, Château Maucoil. Bernard Duseigneur bought this then neglected property a few years ago and is bringing it up to top level. He is a skilled winemaker with vineyards on both sides of the Rhône River. Bernard, that we know since many years, has asked a friend of his, a star-chef, to come and prepare a meal just for us in one of the château’s private salons (yet to be fully renovated…).

Our visits with Christine and Bernard — and many others — are guaranteed to be something you will remember from these two regions, well known for their memorable and magnificent wines, food, and scenery.

This tour is currently fully booked. Why not join us on our new five-day Bordeaux tour that we have just added due to the high demand?
