Château Santenay
Visit & Wine Tasting Château de Santenay is one of Burgundy's largest wine domaines with 90 hectares of prestigious vineyards. Take a guided tour of the magnificent 9th-century vaulted cellars and learn about winemaking "from the terroir to the cellars and from the vine to the glass."

Vineyard Stops
Grand Cru Villages Stop in the vineyards to understand Burgundy's unique terroir and winemaking heritage.

Multiple photo stops and storytelling along scenic countryside roads.
Lunch
Traditional Lunch in Beaune Beaune is the unofficial capital of Burgundy wine and one of France's top wine destinations. Enjoy a traditional Burgundian lunch at a local restaurant, or bring sandwiches to eat in the van — your choice on the day. Free time to explore the charming medieval streets.
Hospice de Beaune
UNESCO Gothic Masterpiece The Hôtel-Dieu, founded in 1443, is famous for its stunning multicoloured tile roofs and Gothic architecture. Inside, discover the barrel-vaulted Grande Salle, 18th-century pharmacy, and the unmissable Polyptych of the Last Judgement by 15th-century Flemish master Rogier van der Weyden — a glorious technicolour depiction of Judgment Day.
Château de Pommard
Visit & Wine Tasting Château de Pommard (originally Le Clos-Marey-Monge) is the largest private Clos in Burgundy. This place where grand architecture and passionate winemaking converge has been protected for nearly three centuries. Today, biodynamic viticulture ensures the vineyard's future. Various tasting experiences available — best arranged in advance.
Châteauneuf-en-Auxois
Medieval Fortress Village This "most beautiful village of France" unfolds around a medieval fortress on a rocky outcrop. The castle is a superb example of 14th-century military architecture, proudly dominating the Burgundy canal. Untouched by mass tourism, it offers stunning views and timeless charm.
