Wonderful wine tour in Burgundy

Trek11341927933, Dec 2024

My friends and I did a two day tour with Stephen and I couldn't recommend it more. All of the transportation, wine tastings, and tours were arranged for us and Stephen also arranged for lunch and dinner reservations along the way. We loved the wineries that Stephen chose to take us to - the people were friendly and informative and the wine was excellent. This was a wonderful way to experience Burgundy in a short amount of time!

Unique and Spectacular Experience!

JulieT746, Dec 2024

Stephen led such an amazing tour for our group. The wineries we visited felt special and like unique experiences we wouldn't have been able to do on our own. He's extremely friendly and well-informed on the wine and the area. I would definitely do a tour with him again!

No empty glasses here!

Our guide was Robert Pygott of Burgundy Discovery, a veteran sommelier and Burgundy expert whose knowledge, expertise, and engaging personality made this tour a fantastic experience. It exceeded all of my lofty expectations. We sampled 18 wines directly at 3 different vigneron, including premier and grand cru! Lunch in Beaune was fabulous, and Robert drove us through numerous famous villages and vineyards, explaining and pointing out interesting aspects along the way. The AC LandRover was comfortable, and water and excellent maps, info and tasting sheets were provided. Altogether I can’t praise and recommend this tour highly enough, well worth the price especially if you’re interested in wine and Burgundy. This tour leaves no stone unturned, and wine glass empty!

Perfect private tour!

Perfect Burgundy tour. Saw a nice range of wineries and tastings. Definitely let them know your preferences ahead of time and they will tailor your experience. Very friendly, nice car and perfect for private tour.

Great private tour

JonathanBUSA, Dec 2024

We had a great day on a private tour with Stephane. The private tour experience was exceptional, easily one of our favorite days in a 10 day trip to France. Having the guide all to ourselves was very helpful. We had great food at lunch, and it was very interesting to learn about the history of Burgundian wine. Stephane’s life experiences give him some added perspective that my wife and I both found very valuable. We were completely lost the first time we walked into a wine store in Beaune, but after our trip we felt like pros, debating the merits of Grand Crus vs Premiere Crus vs Village wines from the various regions. We highly recommend.
