Your Burgundy Wine Tour Starting Point

Your Southern Burgundy wine tour typically begins in Lyon. We’ll provide train tickets (included) for a fast and comfortable ride to the region, or you can select a private transfer option at checkout.

What to Expect on Your Burgundy Food & Wine Tour

Enjoy a half-day adventure through Southern Burgundy,  where white wine is an art of life cultivated by passionate producers, led by a knowledgeable local Insider.

You’ll explore a hand-picked winery and a traditional wine cellar, where you’ll savor exceptional crus that reflect the soul of the region. Along the way, you'll uncover the stories, techniques, and passion that make Burgundy wines so unique.

One of the highlights of your tour is a visit to the remarkable home of Philip — a former winemaker with an impressive private wine collection and a fascinating role as a modern-day druid.

Weather permitting, the tour includes a chic outdoor tasting in the vineyards, where you’ll enjoy wines paired with local treats, surrounded by stunning views.

To enrich your experience, we offer personalized cultural and historical stops based on your interests. Whether you're drawn to centuries-old traditions, regional history, or the scenic beauty of the terroir, we'll tailor the tour to make it unforgettable.


At the end of the day, you’ll return to Lyon — by train or private car, depending on the option you selected.
