South-east of Paris, Burgundy is a patchwork of legendary climats — Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Meursault. With a private chauffeur you drive the Route des Grands Crus at your own pace, taste without watching the clock or the wheel, and return relaxed. We collect you in Paris and arrange the cellar visits in advance.

Burgundy Chauffeur FAQ

How far is Burgundy from Paris?

The heart of the Burgundy vineyards around Beaune is about 315 km south-east of Paris — roughly 3 hours by car. It works as a long full day or, ideally, an overnight stay.

What does a Burgundy wine tour include?

Driving the Route des Grands Crus through the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, the town of Beaune and its Hospices, and cellar visits with tastings that we arrange in advance — all with a chauffeur so you can taste freely.

Can you arrange the tastings?

Yes — we book cellar visits and tastings with the estates to match your taste and budget, from village domaines to prestigious grand cru houses.

Day trip or overnight?

Both are possible. A full day is doable with an early start; an overnight in Beaune is more relaxed and lets you enjoy the region's gastronomy. We tailor the itinerary and quote to you.

What a Burgundy wine day really looks like

Burgundy rewards those who slow down. The Côte de Nuits, running south from Dijon, is the cradle of the world's most sought-after pinot noir — Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges — while the Côte de Beaune adds both silky reds at Pommard and Volnay and the legendary chardonnay whites of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. At its heart, the walled town of Beaune and its glazed-tile Hospices make the perfect midday base. With a driver at the wheel you can compare a village appellation against a premier cru side by side, then move on without a second thought for the road. If you would rather keep a car and driver on call for part of the day, our hourly chauffeur service covers that too.

We shape each itinerary around your palate and your appetite: a morning of grand cru cellars, a Burgundian lunch of jambon persillé and a glass of something local, then an afternoon among the vines with a winemaker who has time to talk. Groups mix easily in our Business Van, and non-drinkers simply enjoy the scenery. Booking a private chauffeur to Burgundy turns a region famous for its confusing patchwork of tiny climats into an effortless, unhurried day — and if the tasting runs long, no one is counting the minutes to the last train.

What grape varieties define Burgundy?

Burgundy is built on two grapes: pinot noir for the great reds of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, and chardonnay for the celebrated whites of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chablis. Your chauffeur can tailor the day to reds, whites or both.

How many wineries can we visit in a day?

Two or three cellar visits is a comfortable pace for a full day, leaving time to drive the Route des Grands Crus, walk Beaune and enjoy a proper Burgundian lunch. We book each appointment in advance around your preferences.

Is Burgundy suitable in winter?

Yes. Many domaines welcome visitors year-round and the vineyards are atmospheric in every season, while your chauffeur handles cold or wet roads. Harvest in September is popular, so we book well ahead for autumn visits.

The chauffeur's view

We roll out of Paris at seven on the A6, and the reward comes three hours later, just past the Beaune exit: the moment the motorway becomes the D974 and the first vine rows climb the slope, village names carved on stone gateposts — Aloxe, Savigny, Pommard. In late October the whole hillside turns copper for about two weeks; if you can choose your dates, choose those. We book the first cellar for 10:30 so the drive down the Route des Grands Crus happens in soft morning light, and we always keep twenty minutes for a coffee on place Carnot in Beaune — Saturdays, the market alone is worth it. Then the part our passengers value most: everyone tastes, every glass, the cases ride home in the boot, and the A6 back to Paris is someone else's problem. Ours.
