Arrival in Dijon. You will meet our representative who will give you your travel documents. Before leaving this beautiful city, discover Dijon's treasures, such as Notre Dame Church and the Tomb of the Dukes of Burgundy. In medieval Burgundy, the Dukes were more powerful than the King of France. The influence of the Dukes of Burgundy was well-known, and they were particularly close to the English crown. Barely out of Dijon, you will already find yourself in the vineyards of Marsannay-la-Côte. Don't miss the Aloxe-Corton wine estate with its magnificent glazed tile roof and the 12th-century Château du Clos de Vougeot, which was once owned by the Cîteaux Abbey for centuries. You will then pass through Nuits-Saint-Georges, named after the famous appellation wine produced there for centuries, and enjoy a tasting of these precious wines. Finally, you will arrive in Beaune and stay in the heart of Burgundy's wine capital.
