This one-day Beaujolais wine tour will take you into the idyllic countryside of the Beaujolais where the landscapes are described as the « Tuscany of France ». Here you will marvel at a timeless countryside with rolling hills and vineyards, stunning golden-stoned villages and striking châteaux. You day out with us will also be your opportunity to learn all about the Beaujolais wines, which just keep getting better and better !
Our one-day Sancerre wine tour is the perfect one-day excursion for guests staying in Paris and who are looking for a full day in the heart of the French countryside where they can experience the charm and beauty of rural France, drink their favourite wines and meet the local people.
This 1-day Chablis wine tasting tour will introduce you to one of the world’s most famous wines, as well the nearby but lesser-known wine-growing districts of the Auxerrois where you will discover some superb red and white wines.
We specialise in unique tailor-made French wine tours in Burgundy 'Chablis & northern Burgundy' as well as 'Beaune and the Route of the Grands Crus', and the Central Loire Valley (Sancerre & Pouilly-Fumé). We also provide a Beaujolais wine tour, a wine region just south of Burgundy.
The Chablis & northern Burgundy wine tour is suited for guests staying in Paris or Beaune as the region is easily accessible by train. We therefore send the most convenient train schedules and we then pick up the guests from the nearby train station and drop them off at the end of their excursion.
The Pouilly-Fumé & Sancerre wine tour is also highly suited to guests looking for a one-day wine tour from Paris. Of course, if clients plan to stay in the region for longer, we can suggest a wide range of great accommodation, and then pick them up from their designated hotel or B&B.
For our Route Des Grands Crus & Beaune wine tour and our Beaujolais wine tour, we always arrange to pick up guests from their accommodation.
Should guests wish to visit several different regions for a prolonged stay, we can put together a special itinerary in order to meet their specific requirements. A great combination for a 2 day trip is the Northern Burgundy & Chablis wine tour combined with Pouilly-Fumé & Sancerre wine tour. The Routes Des Grands & Beaune wine tour is best combined with the Northern Burgundy & Chablis wine tour or the Beaujolais wine tour.
For any other tailor-made French wine tours, we invite you to get in touch with us so that you can benefit from our long experience in organising & running wine tours in France.
Hope to see you soon on one of our unique French wine tours.
Nick was an amazing wine guide on our tour through Burgundy! His eloquence, knowledge of wine and humor made it a very fun and engaging dialogue over our days together in Burgundy. Thanks again for everything...we really had an unforgettable and amazing trip with you. We look forward to receiving your recommendations and wine order of the excellent Burgundy 2015 vintage div
Nick, can’t emphasise enough how much we enjoyed our time with you in France! Your knowledge of wine is so expansive. Your ability to tailor the trip to our interests was very customer oriented. You planned and scheduled tastings to exclusive vineyards as well as stopping at unknown wineries in a small village to secure a tasting while driving down the road. Your vast familiarity with the lay of the land, so to speak, as we visited Regional to Grand Cru plots was so appreciated. Your lunch and dinner reservations were one of the highlights of our trip! This was our second time touring with you and we look forward to another visit as you always provide new adventures! Thanks so much,
“Nick’s knowledge of the Burgundy region, its history and its wine, is unsurpassed. It is a pleasure to travel with a guide who makes everything so easy and so special. From the close-up experience of the Clos de Vougeot and the famous Chevaliers de Tastevin to the cellars of Drouhin, Nick’s personable manner, relationships and experience in the wine trade made our trip outstanding.”
These unique French wine tours are the fruit of over 20 years spent working in both tourism and the wine trade here in France. It is this extensive experience and knowledge which enables us to put together and manage both ready-made and customized French wine tours in Burgundy, Loire as well as Sancerre and the Beaujolais. Our aim is to share with you our deep passion for France and its extraordinary wines, great cuisine, stunning countryside and rich history.
Regardless of the French wine tour you decide on, we will liaise directly with you in order to take into account your specific requirements.
First and foremost we believe that you should have fun on your wine tour, as after all, you are very likely to be on vacation ! But we also understand that whether you are booking a Chablis, Beaune, Sancerre, or Beaujolais wine tour with us, you will have a desire to learn about French wines and wine-making. Over the course of many years, we have built some very special relationships with the local wine-growers and during the course of your stay, they will delight in sharing their knowledge, whether it is in the cellar discussing the climatic effects on the different vintages or their philosophy on oak aging, or in the vines learning about vineyards techniques such as pruning practices and yield management, or their treatments to protect the vines from different predators. Furthermore, you will also learn a lot more about the fascinating and vast topic of organic, biodynamic and natural wines.
Although these French wine tours are designed for serious wine-lovers, we do understand that some groups enjoy a few less visits to wineries and more time enjoying the sights such as historical monuments, markets, and even the odd afternoon spent shopping ! We therefore offer a more « relaxed » version of each trip and you just have to choose from the different options proposed.
Our long experience of the regions, and our love of great food enables us to take you to some fantastic places for lunch where you can delight in the great local cuisine, wines and atmosphere. From rustic French bistros to more sophisticated restaurants, your trip with us will be a gastronomic feast !
We work on a « first-come, first served » basis.
We remain flexible regarding start dates especially if you have other projects in France.
We look forward to you joining us on one of our French wine tours.
Santé!
