Excellent tour, small group, lots of special attention. Really enjoyed this!

Please know that we both enjoyed yesterday's wine tour through the Burgundy region. The contrast between your region and that of Bordeaux was particularly fascinating for anyone ( like us ) who is interested in winemaking. So easy, to be met at the station, then taken in comfort and with a friendly local guide through such a picturesque array of villages and finally dropped back at the station. For any travellers who are interested in wine but do not have the time for a multiple-day tour, a day trip from Paris using the TGV and your tour is an ideal solution. We highly recommend it. Thanks.

Many thanks for the wonderful tour this morning. My wife and I had an excellent time and our guide was entertaining and fantastically knowledgeable. I increased my (admittedly small) knowledge of wine tenfold.
The Clos de Vougeot castle is the former wine making location for the monks of Citeaux (Cistercian order)
The Clos de Vougeot grand cru field is the largest grand cru in all of Burgundy – with the largest number of owners
Castle wineries are not as common in Burgundy as in Bordeaux, however, the examples here are a great site to see!
