Private Burgundy Wine Tour From Paris

Both halves of the Côte d’Or in one private day: the powerful Pinot Noirs of the Côte de Nuits in the morning, the great whites of the Côte de Beaune in the afternoon, with your own driver-guide who knows the slopes and the families who farm them. Three estate tastings, a cellar visit, and a proper Burgundian restaurant lunch included — from Paris in a day, or from your Beaune hotel door.

The Facts

What You Visit

• The Côte de Nuits — through Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, with stops at iconic vineyard plots
• The Côte de Beaune — the home of the world’s finest white Burgundies
• Three guided tastings at carefully selected estates, plus a cellar visit to see how Burgundy is aged and bottled
• In-vineyard lessons — terroirs, climats, and the classification system, explained standing in the rows they describe
• Lunch at a traditional Burgundy restaurant — included, with a Michelin-starred upgrade available

The Day, In Order

Coming from Paris, the before-7 a.m. TGV puts you in Dijon for a 9:00 a.m. start; staying in Burgundy, your guide simply collects you at your hotel. The morning belongs to the Côte de Nuits — the run of villages that reads like a wine list’s greatest hits — with the first tastings and the vineyard-side explanations that make Burgundy’s famously intricate map click into sense.

Lunch is a sit-down at a traditional Burgundian restaurant, included (beverages and menu supplements on site — and if you’d rather make it a Michelin-starred meal, say so when booking). The afternoon crosses to the Côte de Beaune and finishes at a smaller family-run estate, where the tasting comes with the people who made it.

As evening approaches you’re returned to the Dijon station for the TGV home — or to your hotel, if Burgundy has you for the night.

Why Private, Why Us

• Both Côtes in one day — our small-group tour covers Burgundy’s highlights; this covers its geography
• Your pace, your questions, your bottle list — maximum 7, just your party
• Works two ways: a 12-hour Paris day trip, or an 8-hour day from your Beaune or Dijon hotel
• Guides who know the region’s slopes and the families who farm them — running since 2002

The Honest Notes

• Two-person minimum on the private rate
• Vineyard paths and cellar stairs — comfortable shoes; the Côte is open country, so dress for the day’s weather
• Lunch beverages and menu supplements are paid on site — the meal itself is included
• Tuesday–Saturday in season; December–March runs by request around the domaines’ winter schedules
• The famous plots are working farmland — some legendary names are photo stops, not pouring rooms, and your guide explains why

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from your small-group Burgundy day tour?

The group tour ($295) runs a set route with up to eight guests; this is your own guide and vehicle, both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, three estate tastings plus the cellar visit, a restaurant lunch instead of the winery table — and pickup at your Burgundy hotel if you’re staying down there. Deeper, quieter, and entirely yours.

Can this really be done from Paris in a day?

Yes — the TGV covers Paris–Dijon in about 1 hour 40 minutes. Morning train down, vineyards 9 to 5, evening train back. With rail included it’s $796 in 2nd Class, $856 in 1st.

Where does the day start and end?

Wherever suits you: the Dijon TGV station if you’re coming from Paris, or your hotel in or around Beaune if you’re staying in the region.

Côte de Nuits or Côte de Beaune — what’s the difference?

The Côte de Nuits, to the north, makes the powerful, age-worthy Pinot Noir reds; the Côte de Beaune, to the south, makes the world’s finest whites. This tour is built on tasting both sides of that divide in one day.

What about staying overnight?

The best version of Burgundy, honestly — we offer a one-night and a two-night trip, and this private day slots perfectly into either. Call or text 424-386-5222 for longer or custom itineraries.
