Carbon Neutral Trip
Some trips take you through a wine region. This one takes you into it. Six nights—not five—because Burgundy rewards those who linger. Private cellars, ancient châteaux, family domaines and hidden picnic spots that never appear on any map. From the grand crus of the Côte de Nuits to the rolling hills of the Côte Chalonnaise, with a depth of access that only comes from knowing these roads—and these people—for decades.
From Les Sources de Vougeot to the meticulously restored farm estate of Domaine de Rymska, every property is chosen for its deep sense of place.
With private cellars and family domaines, each day brings a new introduction to Burgundy's celebrated appellations, guided by experts who've spent their lives among these vines.
Quiet vineyard roads, medieval villages, rolling hills and hidden valleys—the cycling here isn't the backdrop to the wine experience. It is the experience.

Good to know
Wine
Famous for Pinot Noir, yes — but Burgundy's Chardonnays and Crémant de Bourgogne are reason enough to keep the glass full all week.
Arrivals & Departures
Direct TGV trains connect Dijon from Paris, Lyon and Geneva — making arrival simple no matter where you're coming from.
Exceptional new hotels
New to this itinerary is Les Sources de Vougeot, a stunning Caudalie château hotel nestled among the grand crus of the Côte de Nuits. It sets the tone for everything that follows.
More Time in Burgundy
Most B&R European trips run five nights. This one runs six. That extra day means private cellar visits that can't be rushed, a deeper ride into the Côte Chalonnaise, and more space experience Burgundy the way it deserves.
