Burgundy wine villages and routes for your first itinerary
Choose my Burgundy routePrivate & bespoke wine tours since 1999Use the villages and wine areas as a way to organise your questions, rather than as a checklist to complete. A private route can show how places connect with wines while leaving time to understand each stop.
Côte de Nuits for a route through celebrated Pinot Noir places
Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée feature in the published Côte de Nuits route. They provide starting points for exploring different places and asking about their wines.
A stop near a well-known parcel is a landscape experience unless an estate visit is expressly confirmed. Keep the route description and the actual appointments distinct.
Côte de Beaune for red and white wine interests
Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet appear among the places presented for this route. Discuss which interests deserve the most attention rather than expecting every village to have the same role in a day.
Your tasting brief can give more room to Chardonnay, include Pinot Noir or approach the region with both. The programme will establish the wines actually selected.
Chablis and the Grand Auxerrois for another northern itinerary
Bourgogne Gold Tour also presents a route with Chablis, Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, Irancy and other places in the Grand Auxerrois. This is a separate programme, with its own distances and appointments.
It can be considered for a dedicated day or a longer stay. Adding Chablis to an existing itinerary requires proper travel planning rather than an assumption that it is simply another nearby stop.
Southern Burgundy for a different part of the region
The southern route includes places such as Rully, Mercurey, Givry, Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran. Ask what this itinerary would add to your interests and how it fits your starting point.
When sending a request, list the places that matter most and explain why. That gives the team a useful basis for an achievable route instead of an overly long wish list.
They are distinct choices. A programme attempting every area would not offer the same time for visits and tasting.
No. Estate access and appointments must be confirmed separately.
Begin with time, departure point, wine interests and experience. Discuss those together before deciding on a list of stops.
