Burgundy Tours: 15 Worth Clearing a Day For

1.Burgundy Bike Tour with Wine Tasting from Beaune

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 674 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $253Our pick

Guides such as Eric, Valentine, Theo, and Paul bring strong local wine knowledge.

“The forecast was for 30 C (almost 90 F) and we worried that it would be brutally hot. But in fact it was fine: our guide Eric recommended an e-bike, which was great advice because it turns all the potentially really hot uphills into a literal breeze. Plus, they start the tour at the highest elevations in the region so you wend your way mostly downwards. In addition, our guide, Eric, was very good at finding shady spots when he wanted to give us information about Burgundy. He was an excellent teacher and great ambassador for Burgundy wine. The bike tour with Eric was the highlight of our trip to…”

“Very good and had a great time. Not too long but tasted many great wines. In my opinion it was more of a tour with wine instead of a wine tour, which is still great, just a little different. The first stop is more of scenic view with wine, the second is to a small town within the region and the third is at a winery where you can drink wine and discuss the vineyards with the owner, very cool. Delicious wine and would recommend! The tour lasted from 9am-1pm so there is still a considerable portion of the day left to do other things, and I was not overly…”

We had to wait a few minutes for the restaurant we chose to open at noon. The food was great, but we were only allowed one hour for lunch; however, my wife and I, and another couple, took 90 minutes. This put us behind schedule for the rest of the tour, especially at our last stop to taste sparkling wine. Not enough time to do justice to the tasting. You could say it was our fault, but…”
