About this tour
This private 8-hour day in Dijon has been designed as a complete immersion in Burgundy’s history, gastronomy, and art of living.
Accompanied by a state-certified tour guide, you will discover Dijon not as a city to simply visit, but as a historic capital to decode. From the façades of the Palace of the Dukes to the flavors of mustard, gingerbread, or Burgundy wines, throughout the day, heritage and gastronomy complement one another.
The tour is structured around three main highlights: discovering Dijon’s historic center, a gourmet introduction to emblematic Burgundian products, then lunch and a tasting at the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin.
This experience can be enhanced with an optional private chauffeur service, for your round-trip transfers or for added comfort during the day.

Discovering Dijon: heritage, gastronomy, and Burgundy wines
Organizing a discovery of Dijon means entering one of the richest cities in Burgundy, at the crossroads of history, architecture, gastronomy, and wine. Capital of the Dukes of Burgundy, Dijon boasts exceptional urban heritage, with a remarkably preserved historic center, iconic monuments, and a cultural identity strongly shaped by Burgundian refinement.
A private visit to Dijon truly comes into its own when accompanied by a tour guide. The city is not just a succession of façades or famous monuments: it tells a complex political, religious, and artistic story, linked to the rise of the dukes, trade, the parliament, and gastronomy. The Palace of the Dukes, Notre-Dame Church, private mansions, and old streets form a whole that is best understood when placed in context.
Dijon is also a major gastronomic destination. The city is associated with emblematic products such as mustard, gingerbread, nonnettes, ham with parsley, and certain renowned Burgundian cheeses. A gourmet discovery of Dijon makes it possible to connect these specialties to their history, their production methods, and their place in regional identity.
The opening of the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin has strengthened this dimension. This venue now makes it possible to anchor Dijon even more firmly in the story of the French gastronomic meal and in the transmission of know-how linked to taste. Combining a visit to the historic center with lunch and a tasting at the Cité offers a particularly coherent experience, where heritage and the pleasures of the table complement one another.
Wine at the heart of the Dijon experience
Wine also plays an essential role. Even if Dijon is not a wine-growing village in the strict sense, the city plays a fundamental part in the culture of Burgundy vineyards. It is a natural gateway to understanding the Climats of Burgundy, their UNESCO listing, and the historical organization of the wine-growing region. The tasting in the Cité cellar extends this reading of the terroir through wine.
A day in Dijon can thus bring together several complementary dimensions: architecture, ducal history, craft traditions, gastronomy, wine culture, and the Burgundian art of living. This is what makes the city such a compelling destination for both French and international visitors.
A private and elegant discovery
Choosing a private gastronomic and heritage discovery of Dijon finally allows you to enjoy a more flexible pace, a more in-depth commentary, and a higher-quality experience than a standard visit. It is a richer and more elegant way to discover the Burgundian capital.
