Three Days in Burgundy Tour 

Day 1: Chablis & Northern Burgundy

Your private driver-guide collects you from your accommodation (Paris, Dijon, or Burgundy) for a scenic drive to Chablis. 

As you cross the Serein River and approach the Grand Cru hillside, your guide introduces the geology and history that make Chablis one of the most expressive whites in the world.

Grand Cru Vineyard Walk With Your Vigneron

Meet a local winemaker for an intimate walk through the steep Chablis Grand Cru slopes, Les Clos, Vaudésir, Valmur, where you’ll examine the fossil-rich Kimmeridgian limestone that gives Chablis its signature flinty profile. 

Learn pruning methods, harvest decisions, and how climate influences each vintage.

Private Cellar Tour & Vertical Tasting in a Grand Cru Domaine

Descend into atmospheric stone cellars that have sheltered Chablis wines for generations. 

Your sommelier introduces you to the nuances of the region, beginning with the bright freshness of Petit Chablis and moving into the more structured, mineral expressions of Chablis Village, each glass revealing how soil, slope, and sunlight shape Burgundy’s most distinctive Chardonnay. 

Grand Cru (Les Clos or Valmur) verticals

Your expert host will guide you through ageing techniques, oak vs stainless fermentation, and the evolution of Chablis over time.

Wine-Country Lunch in the Old Town of Chablis

Relax at a traditional bistro or at a Michelin-recommended table, featuring dishes designed to pair with northern Burgundy whites, pike quenelles, gougères, creamy sauces, and local cheeses.

Afternoon in the Medieval Town of Auxerre

A short drive brings you to Auxerre, a riverside town filled with timber-framed buildings and Gothic spires. Enjoy a gentle private walking tour including:

• St. Étienne Cathedral
• The Clock Tower
• Vine-covered riverfront streets

Return to your boutique hotel in the heart of Burgundy for a relaxed evening at leisure.

Our group of 2 couples recently used Luxury France Tours for a 15 day trip to Provence and Reims/Champagne. Our experience with Luxury France Tours was excellent from start to finish. The Travel and Design team helped us customize our itinerary based on our interests and their in depth knowledge of the areas. They patiently helped us work through a number of options. They didn't try to force us into a set itinerary. Before our trip we had an online video call with the Booking and Operations team and went over the itinerary in detail covering all our questions and received an online version that was constantly updated during our trip to provide specific information on our drivers/guides with their contact numbers. All of the drivers and guides were prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. Several times we texted the Operations Team with questions about where we could find certain kinds of shops and restaurants and they were quick to respond with great suggestions. As older travelers, it was also reassuring that they had a 24 hour / 7 day contact number in case we had needed assistance in an emergency. Finally, several times during the booking and travel process, the owner/founder of Luxury France Tours, Debbie, responded to several of our emails. They clearly have a great culture of customer service and responsiveness. All in all, we would highly recommend Luxury France Tours to help plan and book your trip.

Day 2: Côte de Nuits: Pinot Noir’s Spiritual Home

Your morning begins with a private drive along Burgundy’s legendary Route des Grands Crus. 

Private Domaine Visit in Gevrey-Chambertin

Explore a family-run domaine in the village often called the “Kingdom of Pinot Noir.”

Tour the vineyards and barrel rooms before a guided tasting featuring:

• Gevrey-Chambertin Village
• Premier Cru examples
• A rare Grand Cru pour such as Chambertin or Clos de Bèze (subject to availability)

Vosne-Romanée: Burgundy’s Most Sacred Soil

Stroll the vineyards that produce the world’s most coveted Pinot Noirs, La Tâche, Richebourg, and Romanée-Conti (view from exterior). 

Your guide narrates the legends, scandals, and painstaking craftsmanship behind wines that age for generations.

Lunch in Nuits-Saint-Georges

Enjoy a refined lunch at a traditional Côte de Nuits restaurant, where regional dishes spotlight the alliance between terroir and cuisine.

Tasting at a Nuits-Saint-Georges Winery

Step inside one of Nuits-Saint-Georges’ most respected domaines for an in-depth, sommelier-guided exploration of Pinot Noir at its most expressive.

Depending on the season, you may taste directly from the barrel before comparing several Premier Cru wines side by side, an illuminating way to understand the subtleties of terroir. Discussions on ageing potential, oak influence, and ideal food pairings round out this immersive session, offering a masterclass-level understanding of Burgundy’s iconic reds.

Beaune Evening Stroll

End the day with a relaxed guided walk through Beaune’s illuminated streets, Hospices de Beaune, medieval ramparts, and wine-merchant courtyards, before returning to your luxury accommodation.

Luxury France Tours is the perfect name for this company. During our 8 day visit to Paris, Giverny, and Versailles, we felt like royalty. We asked for a Monet experience. Their personalized itinerary gave us that and much more. Since this was our first visit to France, the itinerary was tailored to our interests and abilities. We knew exactly what to expect before we went, and they updated us daily during our visit. The expert private driver got us where we were going quickly, safely, and in style. The knowledgeable, two on one, private guides brought the places we visited to life. Both driver and guides were indispensable, and made the trip a lot easier and much more fun. Thank you Luxury France Tours for enabling us to savor the food, the wine, and the wonder of Paris, Giverny, and Versailles. It was worth every penny.

Day 3: Côte de Beaune: Chardonnay Majesty & Historic Beaune

You begin in Meursault, famous for its rich, nutty, honeyed whites. At an exclusive domaine, your private experience may include:

• A tour of vaulted cellars
• Barrel tastings with the winemaker
• Comparisons of climats such as Les Charmes, Perrières, and Genevrières

Puligny-Montrachet – The Pinnacle of Chardonnay

Continue to Puligny-Montrachet for a technical tasting highlighting the subtleties between village, 1er Cru, and Grand Cru expressions, such as:

• Chevalier-Montrachet
• Bâtard-Montrachet
• Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet

You’ll explore why these vineyards produce the world’s most revered Chardonnay and what makes each parcel distinct.

Historic Beaune & Hospices de Beaune Private Tour

Dive into the 600-year story of the Hôtel-Dieu, Burgundy’s most iconic monument, known for its flamboyant tiled roof and centuries-old wine auctions. 

Your guide shares rare details about the sisters who once ran this charitable hospital and how its vineyards sustained its mission.

Final Tasting in Pommard or Volnay

Bring your Burgundy journey to a graceful close with a final tasting in either Pommard or Volnay, two neighbouring villages whose wines could not feel more distinct. In a quiet, characterful tasting room, your host guides you through a curated selection that highlights the essence of each terroir.

If the visit takes place in Pommard, expect deeply coloured wines with firm structure and impressive longevity—Pinot Noir at its most muscular and earthy. Should you end in Volnay, the experience shifts toward finesse: aromatic, supple, and almost perfumed expressions that seem to glide across the palate.

Whichever village you choose, this final tasting offers a reflective moment to savour the diversity of Burgundy and appreciate how dramatically a few kilometres can reshape a wine’s soul.

Your private driver returns you to Paris, Dijon, Lyon, or your next destination in comfort.
