Burgundy - at the heart of the natural beauty of this fascinating cruising area are the golden slopes of the Côte d’Or. It has always been a wealthy and important region fought over by empires and kingdoms since Roman times. As the Cistercian order was founded here, there are many abbeys and churches and the vast empire of the Ducs de Bourgogne produced the chateaux and palaces.

Vineyards of the côte d’Or– a tour of some of the most famous vineyards in the world and lunch at one of the leading Domains in Puligny Montrachet. What could be nicer than a gentle walk through the terroirs of Chassagne Montrachet, Chevaliers and Les Charmes followed by a drive through the villages of Mersault, Volnay and Pommard.

Route des Grands Crus - a drive from Dijon to Beaune through Chenôve, with the Cuverie des Ducs de Bourgogne, Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey St Denis, Nuits St Georges and Pernand-Vergelesses.


Beaune - the wine capital of Burgundy, is a medieval town of stunning Burgundian/Flemish architecture. The Hotel Dieu is a 15th century hospice and wine museum. You can taste more than 25 vintages in the Marché aux Vins in a former 13th century church.

Vosne-Romanée – home of the most distinguished vineyard estate on the Côte d’Or, the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

Vougeot – the chateau within the famous vineyard of the Clos de Vougeot is the home of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin - Brotherhood of the knights of Wine Tasting. Built by the Cistercian monks from Cîteaux, the wine cellars date back to the 12th century.

Aloxe Corton – the appellation which boasts both white and red Grand Crus. Charlemagne had a vineyard here and the terroir still produces the Corton-Charlemagne.


Châteauneuf - the chateau and old fortified market town with narrow streets and houses built by the rich Burgundian merchants.
