Our guide, Ava, was delightful! She was very passionate about the region, soil, and the wine. We knew very little about Burgundy, but left feeling comfortable enough to pick out the proper wine in any store! She went over the different terroirs and made frequent use of maps to highlight different plots and ratings. The lunch and tastings were splendid!

We had booked a trip with alexia Papin specifically to visit vineyards in Beaune area as we own a vineyard in Coghills creek Victoria Australia. The places she took us to were amazingly helpful & did not hold back on explaining every aspect of growing grapes, maintaining their vines to achieve the best results & the process they go through in producing wine. Alexia’s interaction with the wineries showed how highly they regarded her. Also on our tour we were taken to the many interesting sites in Beaune.

We booked a tour from Beaune and added the option of an E bike as it was something we were considering investing in and also because we'd not cycled in more than 3 years. We were a small group of 6, plus Theo our guide and we departed by minibus to the top of the road overlooking St Romain and from here we cycled mostly downhill on small tarmac tracks with almost no other traffic. Theo was an excellent guide explaining the classification of Bourgogne wines and after a brief stop for a taste of Aligote wine courtesy of Theo we stopped at Chateau Rochepot for an explanation and then on to a tasting at Montrachet vineyard and a visit of the cellar. Lunch was included at a very nice restaurant in Montrachet and then back to cycling, finishing up at Pommard for another tasting. This concluded our cycling, but not for Theo who had to cycle back to collect the minibus and then return to collect our bikes and us! We had such a great time that we booked another tour the next day to the north of Beaune around the Nuit St Georges area which included tastings of Grand Cru's, fantastic lunch and less cycling than the day before, but again no hills, and again with the excellent Theo!!

We booked a trip for a Montgolfière trip over Chenonceau and the Cher. GETYOURGIDE mentions that the maximum of participants is 10 persons for each ride. Upon arrival to our surprise we were 14... our surprise grew when hearing that we had to embark in two Jeeps to go to the departure ( 7+the driver per car ! = packed one against another ) When mentioning that this didn’t respect current measures for Covid, we got the answer that also in the gondola we would be stuffed one against another as well. And that therefor we had to wear a mask as desinfect our hands. Unsure if the montgolfière had been desinfected ( we could’nt see anyone doing this, the cars weren’t in any case . When telling that GETYOURGUIDE mentioned that the trips were limited to 10 participants, Mister France Montgolfière told us not without arrogance that the could write what they wanted but that it was not the problem of France Montgolfière ...When asking if we could take our own car for transfert ; that was impossible. Common sense would limit the number to 8 participants and foresee a transfer in mini-bus. We have been following strict hygienic rules by keeping distance at all times : the lack from the side of France Montgolfières is unacceptable and we didn’t want to participate under these circumstances. We asked full refund from Getyourguide... and we are fully entitled to get one.

We recently spent two delightful days with Tracy Thurling of Burgundy by Request. If you’re looking for the opportunity to tour the fabulous Côte-d’Or with an insider that has relationships with wonderful people who make wine in the region, go no further. For English speakers in particular, she offers great perspective on the culture, the language, the history and the terrior of this relatively small area that produces many of the most beautiful wines produced in the world. She brings context to the discussion by taking you to the places where you can feel and touch the history and to the plots where these legendary grapes are grown. As an added bonus, you will enjoy French cuisine and wine as a local would. Not only did my wife and I feel having Tracy as a resource was invaluable, we will no doubt spend more time with her the next time we travel to Burgundy. Highest recommendation! Amusez-vous bien!

I didn't have a rental car, didn't find a bike rental in Beaune, and walked to Pommard. Unlike the unfortunate ones who flew past me in the Peugeot and Renault, I enjoyed the famous fields of the Cote du Bon, looked at the vine, breathed in the air of Burgundy. Unfortunately, I didn't get to the main Pommard castle. Here only by appointment. The guard at the entrance explained to me how bad and stupid I was not registering in advance for the tour.
