A first visit, to understand the reds and the whites before choosing your own domaines. Travellers arriving by TGV at Dijon or by plane at Lyon. Anyone who prefers a calm plan with free time to a tasting marathon (light). ### Is three days enough for a first trip? Yes. It is time for the reds of the Côte de Nuits, the whites of Meursault and the town of the Hospices itself, and the light plan leaves most of it free. ### Do we need to book the tastings? Yes: most domaines in Burgundy receive visitors by appointment. On wine tour days your driver helps you choose and book them; you pay each tasting to the domaine. ### Can we change the plan? Yes. The trip opens on the booking page with every service filled in: change a date, a time or a place, remove a service or add one before you send the request. ## Other trips - [A day trip to the Burgundy vineyards from Lyon](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages/wine-day-from-lyon): 1 day · First wine trip · from €290 per car - [Five days on the Côte d’Or](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages/five-days-on-the-cote-dor): 5 days · First wine trip · from €695 per car - [A slow week in Beaune](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages/a-slow-week-in-beaune): 7 days · First wine trip · from €850 per car - [All multi-day trips](https://www.cote-privee.com/packages) --- Canonical page:
