Burgundy to Champagne 5-Day Tour

About This Program

A five-day immersion through two of France's greatest wine regions — from the chalk cellars of Reims and the sun-drenched vineyards of Épernay to the medieval ramparts of Beaune and the Grand Cru slopes of Burgundy.

This carefully crafted five-day journey traces the ancient Route des Vins from the Champagne capital of Reims south through the rolling Côte d'Or to the gastronomic heart of Burgundy. Beginning with two nights in Reims — where Gothic cathedrals and labyrinthine chalk cellars set the tone — the itinerary moves through the village of Hautvillers, birthplace of Dom Pérignon, and the prestigious Avenue de Champagne in Épernay before crossing into Burgundy via the Cistercian splendour of Fontenay Abbey. Two nights in Beaune allow for deep exploration of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune appellations, private cellar visits with négociants and domaines, and evenings at Michelin-starred restaurants serving the region's legendary cuisine. The tour concludes with a half-day in Dijon — the historic capital of the Dukes of Burgundy — before departure by TGV.
