| Description |
We’ve been biking en Bourgogne for almost forever, but each ride feels as great as the first time. This is French wine’s ancestral home, where Grand Cru vineyards are our most trusted landmarks. On this Burgundy bike tour, you’ll bike to the top of the gorgeous Hautes Côtes, sip vintages in the fields where they grew up, and with the help of our local guide, explore the unhurried pleasures of Beaune, our adopted hometown, and its unique relationship with wine. To Burgundian locals, time is measured by the season. For us, it’s calculated by the kilometre, the meal and the vintage, the yardsticks of greatness. |
Crisscrossing three countries, this whirlwind tour between two of Europe’s most celebrated capitals squeezes unique culture, delectable food and drink, stunning scenery, wild nightlife, and centuries of thrilling history into seven days without ever feeling rushed. Browse the galleries and museums of Paris and gape at the Swiss Alps' natural beauty, all for less than you’d ever dreamed possible. |

Day 2
Ride the red wine route through the Cote de Nuits to a memorable and private picnic prepared in a local home a few feet away from medieval Beaune.
