Local Flavor
Prepare your taste buds for an almost indescribable experience. As we make our way through Burgundy’s most precious terroirs, educate your palate on the subtleties of reds and whites grown and bottled in some of the prettiest wine villages you’ve ever come across. But there’s more to this journey than magnificent wine—and excellent food. There are also a powerful Benedictine abbey and churches and remnants of Romans as we go. End in Lyon, where gastronomy is king, and the history is thick.
Winding Through the Best of Burgundy.
This is an eight-day sample itinerary. Remember that R. Crusoe can create a Burgundy journey of any length to meet your exact specifications.
Burgundy is a patchwork of tiny vineyards that give the wine its world-famous nuances.
From Paris, we're off to Auxerre for a guided tour of the old town. Taste Chablis (lucky you). Home is elegant Le Cep in Beaune, a top hotel the heart of Burgundy. It's a city we absolutely adore.
Have a tasting in Vougeot before make the trip to Dijon. Delight in this town's charm on a walking tour. We especially love the medieval Duke's Palace.
Then walk (and taste your way along) the Route des Grands Crus, birthplace of the world's finest reds. Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St.-Denis, Vosne-Romanée...
After a bit more of Beaune, we alight in Pommard for tastes of excellent whites— Mersault, Puligny-Montrachet...
After more tasting at Vignobles Nathalie Theulot in Mercurey and then an excursion to Cluny's historic abbey, we turn our attention to Beaujolais. Pay heed to the 10 Beaujolais Crus villages for sips and some
serious poking around.
Wind up in Lyon, where food is king. There's also nearby Notre Dame de Fourvière Cathedral, fine museums, antiques, perhaps a glass of wine...
