Excellent Burgundy Wine Tasting Tours - Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, the tour was well organized, and we visited excellent wineries with a wide offering of both reds and whites from the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits. We were lucky enough to meet with the winemaker at one of the stops who conducted the tasting in a wine cellar built in the 1600s. As the harvest had just concluded, we had the amazing experience of tasting the free run juice just pressed from the grapes. Great wine and a great education about a very complex wine growing region. Tours are intimate (mine had only 5 people including me) and a delicious lunch stop was included. Highly recommended.

Exceeded all expectations, simply the BEST! - Burgundy Discovery was simply awesome. The hosts were incredibly knowledgeable, multi-lingual, funny, and took us to many famous and lesser known beautiful spots. It was obvious that they were known and respected by the local winemakers which made us feel great. By the end of the tour, my wife and I agreed that it was one of the best tours we'd ever been on in our lives. If I ever return to the region, I'll absolutely be booking with them again - highly recommended!

Fantastic Experience - Our tour with Stephen was absolutely fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better day. My fiancée and I absolutely loved how much we learned (and tasted) during our full-day experience with a great lunch in the middle of the day.
Stephen was such a joy to be around, giving us a tremendous history of the are and the wines we were tasting. 10/10 would recommend.

Wine with the winemakers - Wow, we could not have asked for a better way to experience the Burgundy wine region. Our guide, Stephen, was so knowledgeable and gave us an incredible education about the history, classifications, and cultivation of the grapes as we drove through stunning countryside. All of our tastings were amazing, and because Stephen has worked in the wine industry for so long, he was able to get us tours and tastings with the winemakers themselves. Hearing about how a 1er Cru wine you're tasting was made from the person who made it is such an exceptional treat. Stephen even helped to coordinate shipping to the US for bottles we purchased, making it a seamless experience. It goes without saying that the wines were amazing, but this was truly an unforgettable experience and the highlight of our entire trip to France. Would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to the region, and would recommend traveling to the region just for this tour!
