Planning the perfect Burgundy Wine Tour for novices
If you’re new to the world of wine tourism and want to discover the pleasures of Burgundy’s great wines, planning a suitable Wine Tour can be a rewarding experience. With Heritour Voyage, we can help you create a wine tour that combines tastings of renowned wines with exploration of the region’s picturesque landscapes. Here are our tips for organising your first wine adventure with complete peace of mind.
Understanding the basics of Burgundy wines
Burgundy is world-renowned for its exceptional wines, particularly those made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Before starting your wine tour, it’s useful to understand the basics:
– The five main wine-growing regions: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais.
– The appellations: from the regional appellation to the Grands Crus, each level offers unique characteristics.
– The terroirs: soil, climate and winemaking techniques play an essential role in the creation of these refined wines.
Our guides at Heritour Voyage will work with you to simplify these concepts and make your experience fun and accessible.
Planning your route: step by step
For a novice, a well-balanced itinerary is essential. Here are some key steps to consider:
– Choose your destinations: For a first experience, opt for accessible and welcoming estates such as those on the Côte de Beaune or Côte de Nuits.
– Plan guided tastings: Novices will appreciate the winemakers’ explanations of the differences between cuvées and the evolution of aromas.
– Incorporate local activities: Enrich your tour with a visit to historic villages, a gourmet lunch or a walk among the vines.
– Allow time for relaxation: Burgundy’s peaceful landscapes invite you to relax, so plan breaks to savour the moment.
