Yes. Your driver is a licensed VTC private driver (voiture de transport avec chauffeur) and works on advance booking only. Booking online takes about two minutes. #### How do we pay? Your driver confirms your booking by e-mail, with a secure link to pay a 30% deposit by card. You pay the balance on the day, by card or in cash. #### Are prices per person? No, every price is per vehicle, for up to four guests. Tolls, parking and any waiting caused by delays are included. #### Should we tip the driver, or at the tastings? No, tipping is not expected. The price per car is all you owe us, and in France service is included by law in the prices of restaurants and cafés, so a tip is only ever a personal thank-you, entirely up to you. At the domaines you pay the tasting fee and nobody expects a tip; where a small estate receives you free of charge, buying a bottle or two of the wines you liked is the usual way to say thank you, but you never have to buy. #### What is your cancellation policy? Free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup: your deposit is refunded in full. Later, or if you do not turn up, we keep the deposit and ask for nothing more. ### Tours and tastings #### Are tastings included in the price? No. Tastings are paid directly to each domaine, and fees vary from house to house. We suggest domaines and make the reservations for you, free of charge. #### Can you take us to a specific domaine? Yes. Tell us when you book and we will request the visit. Some famous houses only receive the wine trade, and in that case we will suggest good alternatives. #### Which wine tours do you offer? The half-day wine tour is 4 hours for €290 (up to 60 km) and the full-day wine tour 8 hours for €560 (up to 150 km). The long-day wine tour, 12 hours for €880, takes you to Chablis and the Auxerrois; the Mâconnais, closer, is our full-day wine tour plus two hours, €700. Each extra hour on a wine tour is €70. #### Is the driver also a guide? Your driver is not a licensed guide-conférencier, but knows the villages well and will gladly tell you about them along the way. #### How do we bring our wine home? Cases of wine fit in the boot. Many domaines also ship abroad, so just ask when you buy. #### How much wine can we take home? Within the EU there is no fixed limit on wine you carry yourself for your own use, and the usual guide level is 90 litres, of which up to 60 litres sparkling. Outside the EU, allowances differ from country to country, so please check with your customs authority before you buy. #### What are the rules for the UK, the US, Switzerland and China? Without paying duty, travellers aged 17 or over arriving in Great Britain can bring 18 litres of wine, still or sparkling (24 bottles), and US residents aged 21 or over 1 litre, more if they pay duty and tax and the state where they arrive allows it. Switzerland allows 5 litres of drinks up to 18% alcohol per person and per day from age 17, but Swiss VAT is due if everything you bring is worth more than CHF 150. Mainland China allows travellers aged 18 or over 1.5 litres of drinks of 12% alcohol or more, or 0.75 litres if they arrive from Hong Kong or Macao; above that, declare the wine at customs and pay the duty. Rules can change, so please check gov.uk, cbp.gov, bazg.admin.ch or customs.gov.cn before you travel. ### Transfers #### How much does a transfer cost? Dijon station €120, Le Creusot TGV station €165, Dijon-Bourgogne airport €140, Dole-Jura airport €165, Lyon airport or Part-Dieu €410, Geneva Airport (French sector) €570, and Paris CDG, Orly or the city €750. Prices are per vehicle and include tolls, parking and waiting caused by delays. #### What if my flight or train is late? We track your flight or train, so we know when you really arrive. Waiting caused by delays is included in the price. #### Where do we meet the driver? Your driver meets you at arrivals with a name board and walks you to the car. #### Is an electric car fine for long transfers? Yes. Charging is planned around your trips, so it never delays you, even on the way to Paris or Geneva. ### Getting around #### Is there Uber in Beaune? Uber lists Beaune in its app, but few drivers work around the town and the wine villages, so do not count on one between tastings or late in the evening. Uber has operated in the Dijon area since November 2023 and itself warns that pickups in Beaune may take longer than in larger cities. Book a taxi or a private driver in advance instead. #### Can I get a taxi at Beaune station? Sometimes, but not reliably: Beaune has only a few taxi companies and their cars are often out on bookings, especially in the evening and on Sundays, so call one ahead of your arrival. We are not a taxi but a licensed VTC private driver: we meet you at the station by prior reservation only, from €60 per car to a hotel in Beaune or a nearby village. #### What is a VTC, and how is it different from a taxi? A VTC, voiture de transport avec chauffeur, is a licensed private car with a driver, booked in advance on terms agreed before the ride (French Code des transports, article L3122-1). Unlike a taxi, a VTC may not be hailed in the street or wait for passengers at a taxi rank: it may only pick up passengers who have booked in advance (article L3120-2), while a taxi holds a licence to wait for clients on the public road and charges by the meter, at fares capped by the State. We are a VTC: you book online, and your driver meets you at the time and place you chose, at a fixed price per car. #### How much is a pickup at Beaune station? From €60 per car to a hotel in Beaune, for up to four guests, booked in advance: your driver meets you at the station and drives you to your door. To a nearby village it costs €65 to Meursault or €85 to Nuits-Saint-Georges, and every village page shows its own price. #### Can you drive us to dinner at a starred restaurant and back? Yes. The return trip from your hotel in Beaune costs €110 per car for the starred tables in Beaune, Pommard and Levernois, €120 for Le Charlemagne in Pernand-Vergelesses, €155 for Ed.Em in Chassagne-Montrachet and €165 for Maison Lameloise in Chagny, for up to four guests. Your driver waits nearby while you dine, up to 3 hours, so nobody has to drive. Book your table with the restaurant, then the car for the same evening; each restaurant page shows its own price. #### Can you drive us to a golf course? Yes. The nearest is the Golf de Beaune-Levernois, 2 km from the centre of Beaune, with an 18-hole and a 9-hole course; the 18-hole course of the Château de Chailly, about 45 minutes away, is open to non-residents of its hotel, and the Golf Dijon Bourgogne lies at Norges-la-Ville, north of Dijon. Book the driver by the hour, €75 per hour (3 hours minimum): your driver waits during your round or comes back for you. Reserve your tee time with the club. #### Can you pick us up from a river cruise boat or a hotel barge? Yes. Your driver can meet you at the quay where your boat is moored, on the Saône, whose main ports of call in Burgundy are Saint-Jean-de-Losne, Chalon-sur-Saône and Mâcon, or along the canals, and drive you back to the boat after your visits. It is booked and priced like any other trip with us: give the mooring as your pickup address and tell us when the boat sails. #### Do you drive at night and on Sundays? Yes, booked in advance like every ride, any day of the week. Airport and station transfers can be booked for any hour, night included; a wine day starts between 07:00 and 18:00, and a driver by the hour picks you up between 06:00 and 22:00. There is no night, Sunday or public holiday surcharge. ### Driver and car #### Which languages does the driver speak? English, French, Mandarin Chinese and Arabic. #### Do you speak Chinese or Arabic? Yes. Your driver speaks Mandarin Chinese and Arabic as well as French and English, so you can book, plan the day and talk on the road in your own language, with help to follow the explanations at the domaines. #### Does the driver speak German? No. Your driver speaks French, English, Mandarin Chinese and Arabic, but not German. This website and the booking are available in German, and on the day you can talk with your driver in English or French. #### What car will we travel in? A Polestar 2, 100% electric, quiet and comfortable for up to four guests. Water and phone chargers are on board. On request, a Mercedes E-Class (4 guests) or V-Class (up to 7 guests) is also available, for €160 or €230 more per day of service. #### How much luggage fits in the car? The Polestar 2 has 407 litres of luggage space in the boot with the rear seats up, including a 43-litre compartment under the floor, and another 41 litres in the front trunk, according to Polestar. The boot floor is about 1 m long and 1 m wide, with 45 cm of height under the parcel shelf. With four guests the rear seats stay up, so tell us how many suitcases you have when you book. #### We are a group of five or more: can you drive us? Yes. For 5 to 7 guests we offer a Mercedes V-Class, on request: €230 more per day of service on top of your price, confirmed with your booking once its availability is checked. Just choose it under “Your car” when you book. For a larger group, please ask us on WhatsApp or by e-mail before you book: we will tell you what is possible on your date. #### Can you drive guests at a wedding, a celebration or a company event? Yes. Our car, a Polestar 2, seats four, which suits the couple, family members or a small team, booked by the hour at €75 per hour (3 hours minimum) or for set trips. A Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 guests, on request. For a larger group, please ask us on WhatsApp or by e-mail before you plan, and we will tell you what is possible on your date. #### Do you have child seats? Yes, on request. Just tell us the children's ages when you book. #### Can we drink in the car? No, drinking alcohol in the car is not allowed. The bottles you buy travel closed in the boot. #### Can we bring our pet? Guide and assistance dogs are always welcome, free of charge. Other small pets can come on request, in a closed carrier. #### Is the car wheelchair accessible? There is no wheelchair ramp, but a folding wheelchair travels in the boot. The passenger moves to a seat with the driver’s help: please tell us when you book. ## When to visit Burgundy The best time to visit the Burgundy vineyards is May to June or September to October: highs of 21 to 25 °C in spring and 16 to 22 °C in autumn, the harvest (dates set each year, now often from late August) and golden vines after it.

Spend the morning in town and the afternoon in the vineyards of Pommard, Volnay and Meursault, 5 to 10 km away. - The Hôtel-Dieu opens every day; from 1 April to 15 November 2026 it is open from 9.00 to 19.30, and the ticket office closes an hour before the site. - Beaune's main market is on Saturday morning until 13.00; a smaller market of about 25 traders runs on Wednesday from 7.00 to 12.30. - The ramparts walk is about 2.5 km with 17 signed stops; allow 1 to 2 hours. - The Marché aux Vins, opposite the Hôtel-Dieu, opens daily; most other wine houses in the old town take bookings for cellar visits. - Pommard is 5 km and Meursault 9 km from Beaune, so a 4-hour afternoon allows two or three tastings. ### Beaune or Dijon: where to stay for Burgundy’s wine villages - Type: Getting here and around - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/beaune-or-dijon-where-to-stay Stay in Beaune if the wine villages are the reason for your trip: Pommard is 5 km away, Meursault 9 km and Nuits-Saint-Georges 18 km, and on 1 January 2026 this town of 20,352 people had 38 hotels with 1,692 rooms. Choose Dijon, eight times larger, for city evenings and six MICHELIN-starred restaurants, or to explore the Côte de Nuits, which starts at its southern edge with Gevrey-Chambertin 13 km away. The two towns are about 45 km apart and 18 to 30 minutes by TER, so you can sleep in one and spend a day in the other. - From Beaune, Pommard is 5 km away, Meursault 9 km, Nuits-Saint-Georges 18 km and Gevrey-Chambertin 30 km; from Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin is 13 km away, Nuits-Saint-Georges 27 km and Meursault 53 km. - On 1 January 2026, INSEE counted 38 hotels and 1,692 rooms in Beaune, for 20,352 inhabitants, and 44 hotels and 2,623 rooms in Dijon, for 161,830. - The 2026 MICHELIN Guide lists six starred restaurants in Dijon and two in Beaune, with three more within 10 km of Beaune. - About 44 TER trains a day run from Dijon to Beaune in 18 to 30 minutes; the last ones leave Dijon at about 22.10 and Beaune at about 22.00. - Our wine days start from your hotel in Beaune or a nearby village: €290 for 4 hours, €560 for 8 hours, per car for up to four guests. ### Bringing Burgundy wine home: shipping, customs allowances and packing - Type: Getting here and around - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/bringing-burgundy-wine-home How much Burgundy wine you can bring home duty free depends on where you land: in 2026 the allowance is 18 litres of wine for Great Britain, 1 litre of alcohol for the United States, 1.5 litres for mainland China, 5 litres for Switzerland, 1.5 litres of wine for Canada and 2.25 litres for Australia, while between EU countries there is no fixed limit for your own use. Above the allowance you declare the wine and pay duty and taxes. Wine travels without restriction in checked baggage, and shops and domaines can ship larger purchases: at the 2026 rates of one Beaune house, 7 to 12 bottles cost €48 to Germany, tax included, and €205 to the United States before insurance and the wine tax. - Duty-free wine in 2026: 18 litres into Great Britain, 1 litre into the US, 1.5 litres into mainland China, 5 litres into Switzerland, 1.5 litres into Canada and 2.25 litres into Australia. - Between EU countries there is no fixed limit on wine for your own use; 90 litres is a guide level. - Over the allowance, Great Britain and Australia tax all your wine, while the US and China tax only the excess. - Wine is not restricted in checked baggage, but EU airport security limits cabin liquids to containers of 100 ml. - At the Marché aux Vins's 2026 rates, shipping 7 to 12 bottles from Beaune costs €48 to Germany, tax included, and €205 to the US before insurance and the wine tax. ### A day trip to Burgundy from Paris: TGV to Dijon, a driver for the wine day and the way back - Type: Itineraries - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-day-trip-from-paris The simplest Burgundy wine day from Paris is the TGV from Paris Gare de Lyon to Dijon-Ville, 1 h 35 to 1 h 40, then a licensed private driver (French VTC) for a half day of 4 hours at €290 or a full day of 8 hours at €560 per car, for one to four guests, plus train tickets. Going by car is the harder choice: Beaune is about 310 km and 3 h 15 from central Paris, so a same-day round trip is about 6 h 30 on the road, and a private transfer is €750 per car one way; if you can, stay a night in Beaune. - Paris to Dijon-Ville by TGV takes about 1 h 35 to 1 h 40; with the TER on to Beaune, the best journeys take 2 h 06 to 2 h 20 and the average is just over 3 hours. - By road Beaune is about 310 km and 3 h 15 from central Paris, so a same-day round trip is about 6 h 30 at the wheel. - Train plus driver: €290 (4 hours) or €560 (8 hours) per car from Beaune station, plus train tickets; or your driver meets the TGV at Dijon-Ville for €120 each way. - A private transfer from Paris is €750 per car one way, for one to four guests, tolls included. - Check the train times for your date on SNCF Connect: timetables change each December. ### The grand crus of Burgundy: all 33, with village, colour and size - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-grand-crus Burgundy has 33 grand cru appellations: 24 in the Côte de Nuits, 8 in the Côte de Beaune and Chablis Grand Cru, which is divided into seven climats. Together they cover about 555 hectares in production and give about 1% of Burgundy's wine, from La Romanée at 0.85 hectares to Chablis Grand Cru at about 101. This guide lists all of them with their villages, colours and sizes, using the Burgundy wine board's figures for 2022. - There are 33 grand cru AOCs: 24 in the Côte de Nuits, 8 in the Côte de Beaune and Chablis Grand Cru. - Gevrey-Chambertin has the most, with nine; Vosne-Romanée has six. - Every Côte de Nuits grand cru is red except Musigny, which also makes a little white; Corton is the only red grand cru of the Côte de Beaune. - Sizes run from 0.85 ha for La Romanée to about 49 ha for the Clos de Vougeot, 91 ha for Corton and 101 ha for Chablis Grand Cru (BIVB, 2022). - Grands crus give about 1% of Burgundy's wine by volume (BIVB). - The vineyards are private: look from roads and tracks, and never walk between the rows. ### Burgundy’s grape varieties: what grows where, and what each one gives - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-grape-varieties Burgundy is built on two grapes: Chardonnay covers 57% of the vineyard and Pinot Noir 34%, according to the Burgundy wine board (BIVB). Aligoté adds 6%, and the last 3% is shared by Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Gris (known locally as Beurot) and a few rarities, each limited by the appellation rules to particular places and wines. - Chardonnay 57%, Pinot Noir 34%, Aligoté 6% and all other varieties 3% of the vineyard (BIVB, 2024). - Village, premier cru and grand cru wines are almost always a single variety: Pinot Noir for reds and Chardonnay for whites. - Aligoté has a regional appellation, Bourgogne Aligoté, and one village appellation of its own, Bouzeron. - Gamay goes into Passe-tout-grains, Coteaux Bourguignons, Crémant and the reds of the Mâconnais, not into Côte d'Or village wines. - Sauvignon is allowed only at Saint-Bris; César only in the Yonne, notably at Irancy, where it and Pinot Gris may make up 10% together. - Crémant de Bourgogne, an AOC since 1975, is about 12% of Burgundy's production. ### Harvest and truffle season in Burgundy: dates, what you can see and what you can join - Type: Itineraries - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-harvest-and-truffle-season In 2026 Burgundy's harvest began on 8 August with grapes for Crémant de Bourgogne, still wines followed from 16 August, and the last grapes reached the vat houses just before mid-September, the earliest harvest the region has known; in most years it falls between late August and late September. You can watch the pickers from the lanes, taste at the houses that open every day, and join the picking through an experience sold by the Beaune tourist office or as a paid seasonal worker. The Burgundy truffle, Tuber uncinatum, is gathered from mid-September to the end of January, and three autumn fêtes celebrate it: Is-sur-Tille on 17 October 2026, Châtillon-sur-Seine on the last Saturday of October and Noyers-sur-Serein on a Sunday its brotherhood sets each autumn. - In 2026 the harvest began on 8 August for Crémant de Bourgogne and on 16 August for still wines, and the last grapes came in just before mid-September, according to the BIVB. - In most years Burgundy picks between late August and late September; each domaine chooses its own start, and grapes usually ripen 90 to 100 days after flowering. - Visitors can pick for a morning or a day through harvest experiences sold by the Beaune tourist office; working as a picker means a seasonal contract of up to one month. - The Burgundy truffle, Tuber uncinatum, is gathered with trained dogs from mid-September to the end of January. - Truffle fêtes: Is-sur-Tille on Saturday 17 October 2026, Châtillon-sur-Seine on the last Saturday of October, and Noyers on an autumn Sunday set by its brotherhood. ### How much does a private wine tour in Burgundy cost in 2026? - Type: Getting here and around - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-private-wine-tour-cost In 2026 a private wine tour in Burgundy costs from €290 per car for a half day with a driver, tastings paid separately, while operators who put the tastings in the price charge about €380 to €620 for a private half day and €650 to €870 for a full day, for two to four people. A standard tasting at the domaines costs about €15 to €35 per person, and premium tastings far more. Whether a price is per car or per person matters more than the headline figure: for four people, a per-car price usually comes out cheaper. - Our wine days cost €290 for 4 hours, €560 for 8 hours and €880 for 12 hours, per car for one to four guests; tastings are paid to the domaines. - Private tours with tastings in the price cost about €380 to €620 for a half day and €650 to €870 for a full day, for two to four people. - Shared minibus tours cost €49 to €65 per person from Beaune and €110 to €165 from Dijon. - A standard tasting at a Beaune house or château costs about €15 to €35 per person; premium tastings run from €49 to €175. - For two people, all-in tours and a driver plus tastings cost about the same; for four, the per-car price stays level with an all-in tour and below tours priced per person. - Tastings, lunch and entrance tickets are the extras to check in any quote. ### Burgundy wine classification explained: regional, village, premier cru and grand cru - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-wine-classification Burgundy classifies places, not producers: its 84 appellations sit on four levels, from regional wines through village and premier cru to 33 grands crus. According to the Burgundy wine board (BIVB), regional appellations make up 53% of production, village and premier cru wines 46% and grands crus just 1%. Once you see that the name on the label is a map reference, the whole system falls into place. - Burgundy has 84 AOCs: 7 regional, 44 village and 33 grand cru appellations (BIVB). - Premier cru is not a separate AOC but a named climat inside a village appellation; BIVB counts 662 of them. - By volume, regional wines are 53% of production, village and premier cru 46% and grand cru 1% (BIVB, 2019 to 2023 average). - A climat is a precisely bounded vineyard plot known by its name for centuries; a lieu-dit is simply a named place on the land register. - On a grand cru label the vineyard name stands alone; on a premier cru label the village name comes first. - Burgundy has 3,489 wine estates, 316 négociant houses and 16 cooperative cellars (BIVB, 2024). ### A Burgundy wine day from Lyon: by train and driver, or door to door - Type: Itineraries - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-wine-day-from-lyon The simplest Burgundy wine day from Lyon is a direct TER from Lyon Part-Dieu to Beaune, 1 h 36 to 1 h 40 with a train about every hour, and a private driver waiting at Beaune station: a full day of 8 hours in the vineyards costs €560 per car for one to four guests, plus train tickets from about €19 each way. If you would rather not take the train, a driver can collect you in Lyon and bring you back the same evening: €740 per car for a return trip to one village such as Pommard, with the driver waiting there up to 3 hours, or €1,380 per car for a full day with several domaines, the €410 transfer each way plus the €560 wine day. Either way, leave early: with about 3 h 30 of travel in the day, eight hours among the domaines is a realistic maximum. - Direct TER trains leave Lyon Part-Dieu for Beaune about once an hour on weekdays, taking 1 h 36 to 1 h 40, with fares from about €19 one way. - The 7.16 from Part-Dieu reaches Beaune at 8.52; on weekdays the last direct train back leaves Beaune at 21.09. - Train plus driver: €560 per car for 8 hours from Beaune station, plus train tickets, is the cheapest private option. - Driver from Lyon and back: €740 per car for one village such as Pommard, the driver waiting up to 3 hours, or €1,380 per car for a full wine day with several domaines (€410 each way plus the €560 day), for up to four guests and their wine. - Tastings are paid directly to the domaines, usually €15 to €35 per person each. - A night in Beaune turns 3 h 30 of travel into a relaxed two-day trip. ### Burgundy wine tour itineraries from Beaune: half a day, one day, two days and three days - Type: Itineraries - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-wine-tour-itineraries From Beaune, half a day allows two or three tastings in the Côte de Beaune villages, and a full day covers the Côte d'Or from Gevrey-Chambertin to Puligny-Montrachet in about 90 to 100 km of driving. Two days let you give the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune a day each, and a third day reaches Chablis, about 1 h 30 away, or the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais to the south. - Plan 2 or 3 tastings per half day and 3 or 4, at most 5, in a full day; each cellar visit usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. - The Route des Grands Crus runs about 60 km from Dijon to Santenay, with Beaune roughly in the middle. - Côte de Beaune loops from Beaune cover 25 to 35 km; a Côte de Nuits loop that includes Gevrey-Chambertin is about 70 km. - Chablis is about 135 km and 1 h 30 from Beaune; Pouilly-Fuissé is about 95 km and 1 h 10. - Family domaines receive visitors by appointment, so book ahead, especially from May to mid-October. - Book lunch as well: village restaurants fill quickly in season. ### Visiting Burgundy wineries without a car: trains, bikes, tours, taxis and private drivers - Type: Getting here and around - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-wineries-without-a-car You can visit Burgundy's wineries without a car: TER regional trains stop at Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Meursault and Santenay, the Voie des Vignes cycle route runs 22 km from Beaune to Santenay, and shared minibus tours leave Beaune every day from €49 per person. What is hard to find is door-to-door flexibility between domaines: Uber drivers are rare around Beaune and taxis need booking, so for several villages in one day a private driver, from €290 per car for four hours, is the simplest answer. - TER trains stop at Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Meursault, 5 to 21 minutes from Beaune, roughly once an hour on weekdays and less often on Sundays. - Tickets for these short hops cost a few euros, but the stations at Gevrey-Chambertin and Meursault are about 2 km from the village centres. - La Voie des Vignes is a 22 km cycle route from Beaune to Santenay; electric bikes rent in Beaune for about €40 to €45 a day, and bikes ride free on TER trains when there is room. - Shared minibus tours from Beaune cost €49 to €65 per person, with one or two tastings in the price. - Uber lists Beaune in its app but warns that pickups take longer than in big cities: do not rely on it, or on finding a taxi, between tastings. - A private driver costs €290 per car for four hours or €560 for eight, for one to four guests, with tastings paid to the domaines. ### Burgundy with children, or without wine: a family day from Beaune - Type: Itineraries - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-with-children For a family day from Beaune, pair the Château de Châteauneuf, a walled medieval fortress that is free for children under 12, with the moated Château de Commarin and the sweet factory Les Anis de Flavigny, where visits and tastings are free: allow about 8 hours with a driver, €600 per car for up to four guests at €75 per hour. Dijon, 40 minutes away, makes an easier day with its owl trail, a 316-step tower and a gingerbread factory, and from April to early November the Chantier médiéval de Guédelon, where a 13th-century castle is being built by hand, is worth a long day. - The Château de Châteauneuf opens all year except on Mondays and is free for children under 12; its investigation booklet, in French, suits ages 7 and up. - Guédelon opens from 2 April to 1 November 2026, 10.00 to 17.30, closed on some Tuesdays and Wednesdays: allow at least 4 hours on site and about 2 h 30 each way from Beaune. - Les Anis de Flavigny (free visits and tasting), Le Cassissium (syrups for children) and the Moutarderie Edmond Fallot (make your own mustard) are food stops that children enjoy. - A driver by the hour costs €75 per hour per car for up to four guests, children included: €450 for 6 hours in Dijon, €600 for 8 hours of castles. ### A Chablis day trip from Beaune: grands crus, the Serein valley, Noyers, Irancy and Saint-Bris - Type: Itineraries - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/chablis-day-trip-from-beaune Chablis is about 135 km north-west of Beaune, roughly 1 h 30 each way and almost all of it on the A6 motorway, so it makes a full day rather than a detour. Plan two or three tastings in and around the town, a look at the seven grands crus on their single hillside across the Serein, lunch in Chablis, and one extra stop such as Noyers-sur-Serein, Irancy and Saint-Bris, or Auxerre. - Beaune to Chablis: about 135 km and 1 h 30; motorway tolls for a car are about €10 to €15 each way, according to APRR's 2026 tariffs. - Chablis is white only, from Chardonnay, in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru. - The seven grands crus cover 99 hectares on one slope on the right bank of the Serein and make about 1.5% of Chablis wine. - There are 40 premier cru climats, 17 of them main names, on about 770 hectares on both banks of the river. - La Chablisienne, the growers' cooperative founded in 1923, has a tasting cellar in town open seven days a week. - From Chablis, Noyers-sur-Serein is about 25 minutes away, Saint-Bris about 20, Irancy about 30 and Vézelay about 50. ### The Climats of Burgundy: what UNESCO listed in 2015, and how to see it - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/climats-of-burgundy-unesco The Climats of Burgundy were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List on 4 July 2015. The listing covers 1,247 precisely delimited vineyard plots, or climats, on the slopes of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, together with the town of Beaune and the historic centre of Dijon: 13,219 hectares in all, within a buffer zone of 50,011 hectares. It recognises a system in which wine has been tied to its exact plot of origin since the Middle Ages. - Official name: The Climats, terroirs of Burgundy, inscribed on 4 July 2015 at the 39th session of the World Heritage Committee in Bonn. - UNESCO counts 1,247 climats on the slopes that run about 50 km south of Dijon to the Maranges. - The property has two parts: the vineyards, wine villages and town of Beaune (13,118 ha) and the historic centre of Dijon (101 ha), with a 50,011 ha buffer zone. - It was listed under criteria (iii) and (v), as the living archetype of terroir winegrowing shaped by monks, dukes, towns and growers. - Chablis, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais are not part of the listed site. - Good places to understand it: the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne and the free Maison des Climats in Beaune, the Château du Clos de Vougeot and the Route des Grands Crus. ### Côte de Nuits vs Côte de Beaune: how Burgundy’s two great slopes differ - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/cote-de-nuits-vs-cote-de-beaune The Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune are the two halves of the Côte d'Or, the escarpment that runs south from Dijon to the Maranges. The Côte de Nuits is narrower, almost entirely red and holds 24 of Burgundy's 33 grands crus; the Côte de Beaune has about twice the vineyard area, makes great reds as well as Burgundy's most famous whites, and has 8 grands crus. Beaune sits between them, and every village on either côte is within about 35 minutes' drive. - Both are about 20 km long (BIVB): the Côte de Nuits from Dijon to Corgoloin, the Côte de Beaune from Ladoix-Serrigny to the Maranges. - Village, premier cru and grand cru vineyards cover about 6% of Burgundy's area in the Côte de Nuits and 13% in the Côte de Beaune (BIVB, 2024). - The Côte de Nuits is about 95% red by area; the Côte de Beaune about 60% red and 40% white (our sum of BIVB's 2022 appellation figures). - Grands crus: 24 in the Côte de Nuits, all red except Musigny; 8 in the Côte de Beaune, all white except Corton. - Harder, older limestones dominate the Côte de Nuits; between Ladoix and Meursault the Côte de Beaune exposes younger, marlier rock (BIVB). - Plan one côte in a half day, or both in a full day with two or three tastings. ### Which famous Burgundy domaines can you visit? Romanée-Conti, the grand names and the houses that receive you - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/famous-burgundy-domaines-you-can-visit You cannot book a visit at the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti: its website offers no tours, tastings or bookings, and what visitors see is the edge of its vineyard of about 1.8 hectares above Vosne-Romanée, marked by a stone cross. Several other famous estates say they have little time for visitors or take visit requests from the wine trade only. The Château du Clos de Vougeot and several great houses around Beaune, by contrast, open every day, and names such as Maison Joseph Drouhin, Domaine Chanson, Faiveley and the Château de Pommard receive visitors by appointment. - The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti offers no visits; its vineyard of about 1.8 hectares is seen from the lane beside a stone cross, in a stop of 15 to 30 minutes. - The Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair and Domaine Méo-Camuzet say they have little time for visitors, and Maison Louis Latour takes visit requests from the wine trade only. - The Château du Clos de Vougeot opens every day; its guided tours, in English at 11.30 and 15.30 or in French at 10.30 and 14.30, cost €15 in 2026. - In Beaune the Marché aux Vins and Maison Patriarche Père et Fils open every day, with standard tastings at €25 in 2026. - Maison Joseph Drouhin, Domaine Chanson, Faiveley and the Château de Pommard receive visitors by appointment, so book ahead, especially for weekends. ### How to get to Beaune from Paris, Lyon, Geneva and Dijon: trains, driving and private transfers - Type: Getting here and around - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/getting-to-beaune The quickest way from Paris to Beaune is a TGV to Dijon and a regional TER onward, about 2 h 10 at best, while Lyon Part-Dieu has direct TER trains taking about 1 h 40 and Dijon is only 18 to 30 minutes away.

Beaune has only a few taxi companies, often out on bookings in the evening and on Sundays, so book a taxi or a licensed private driver (French VTC) in advance. A private driver's price is per car, not per person: from €60 from Beaune station to a hotel in Beaune, or €290 for a 4-hour wine tour and €560 for 8 hours, for up to four guests. - Uber lists Beaune in its app but few drivers work around the town and the wine villages: do not count on one between tastings or late in the evening. - Uber has operated in the Dijon area since November 2023 and says pickups in Beaune may take longer than in larger cities. - Beaune has only a few taxi companies, often out on bookings in the evening and on Sundays: call one ahead of your arrival. - A private driver (VTC) works on advance booking only, at a fixed price per car for up to four guests: from €60 from the station to a Beaune hotel, €290 for 4 hours, €560 for 8 hours. - With a driver nobody has to drive, so everyone can taste; the French drink-drive limit is 0.5 g of alcohol per litre of blood. ### Wine tasting in Burgundy on a Sunday or a Monday: what is open - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/wine-tasting-burgundy-sunday-monday You can taste wine in Beaune on a Sunday: the Marché aux Vins, Maison Patriarche Père et Fils and Bouchard Aîné & Fils open every day, as do the Château de Pommard and the Château de Meursault, which from mid-November opens on Sundays in the morning only, while Maison Joseph Drouhin, Domaine Chanson and most family domaines close. Monday is easier: the large houses reopen, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Beaune closes on Tuesday, not Monday. Several houses change their days in winter, so check before you go. - Open every day in Beaune: the Marché aux Vins, from €25 for five wines, Maison Patriarche Père et Fils, €25 for six, Bouchard Aîné & Fils and the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne. - Closed on Sundays: Maison Joseph Drouhin, Domaine Chanson and most family domaines in the villages. - The Château de Pommard and the Château du Clos de Vougeot open every day; the Château de Meursault does too until mid-November, then closes on Sunday afternoons, Mondays and Tuesdays until March. - The Hôtel-Dieu opens every day in 2026, but Beaune's markets are on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, not on Sunday. - On Sundays the Mobigo 113 coach runs only twice each way between Beaune and Dijon, and taxis are scarce, so book a car before the weekend. ### How wine tasting works in Burgundy: booking, costs, etiquette, opening days and taking wine home - Type: Understanding the wine - URL: https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/wine-tasting-in-burgundy Most Burgundy domaines receive visitors by appointment only, so book tastings ahead, while tasting venues and several large houses in Beaune open daily and charge about €15 to €30 per person for a standard visit in 2026. Expect about an hour, four to seven wines and a spittoon, with no obligation to buy. Taking wine home is easy within the EU, but duty-free allowances elsewhere are small: 18 litres of wine into Great Britain, 1 litre into the US and 1.5 litres into mainland China. - Burgundy has about 3,489 wine estates, 316 négociant houses and 16 cooperative cellars, according to the BIVB; the average estate farms about 8.5 hectares. - Book family domaines ahead; tasting venues and several large houses in Beaune open every day. - Standard visits in Beaune cost about €15 to €30 per person in 2026; tastings of premiers and grands crus cost more. - Spitting is normal and expected, and buying is welcome but not compulsory. - The French drink-drive limit is 0.5 g of alcohol per litre of blood, and 0.2 g for drivers on a probationary licence. - Duty-free wine allowances: 18 litres of wine into Great Britain, 1 litre into the US, 5 litres into Switzerland, 1.5 litres into mainland China; between EU countries, 90 litres per person is only a guide level. ## Multi-day trips (22) Your driver meets you on day one, drives you to your visits and to your train at the end.
