We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers

Antoine is super ‘sympa’, explained it all very well, he really knows his wines, history and surroundings! As we arrived in harvesting season we were able to see the wine making process first hand in both wine houses we visited which made it all a lot more tangible. Bourgundy can be rather complex when it comes to its wines but we can now navigate already a lot better through everything the region has to offer. Wondurful tour & dégustations, we would 100% recommend to schedule your plans around this tour!

We were staying in a vacation rental north of Lyon while attending the Women’s World Cup and had initially wanted to take a Beaujolais Wine Tour on one of the off-days. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a tour or private tour guide that wasn’t already booked. As a result, we moved further North and started looking at Burgundy wine tours. Luckily by-chance, we booked The Wines of Burgundy Day Tour with Pieter Smits. We had a wonderful tour with Pieter as we visited several villages, chateaus, and wineries. Not only were we able to sample some fine wines but Pieter also selected a restaurant where we had a great lunch. Pieter is very engaging and knowledgeable which helped make the tour very enjoyable. It's an experience I will always remember.

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 were supposed to have a tour to Beaune, and because we were 3 we got huge chances to got it cancelled. But, they offered us instead an excursion to côte de nuits... it was better than expected! Emmanuel was a super guide! He explained us everything about the wine making process, took us to 2 places for wine tasting and to the vineyards... I just know how to better enjoy wine thanks to him. This excursion made our experience at Dijon unforgettable even in Corona times! Def if I come back I will go for another excursion with them :)
