For those whose evenings are woefully incomplete without a well selected vintage, Burgundy is hallowed ground. This region has been whetting its palate since the Roman era, and is mouthwatering proof that practice makes perfect. So naturally, it’s B&R’s first love—and second home. Stay in our pied-a-terre in historic Beaune and try our signature pairings: like cycling through verdant Cote de Nuits + dining at the Michelin-starred Le Montrachet, garden picnics + Butterfield’s own wine, or biodynamic wines + ecstatic moans.
All of our scheduled trips can be booked as private trips (your dates, your group).

“I can’t say I really ‘work out,’ but I’m in good shape and am relatively active.”
“I enjoy a good walk or ride, and feel comfortable while on the move.”
“I get moving at least once a week, and don’t mind a little sweat.”
“I get moving a few times per week and enjoy some exertion.”
“I want to feel invigorated each day and going hard is how I like to do that.”
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
We craft extraordinary experiences, tailor made to meet your every need,
with every stitch of every day crafted just the way you want it.
