Dive deep into the captivating world of Burgundy, France’s premier wine region, on this full-day adventure from Paris. Departing before 8 a.m., our high-speed rail option whisks you away to Dijon in about an hour and 35 minutes. Your Burgundy Day Tour guide meets you at the Saint-Bénigne church, a block and a half from the station, for a day of unparalleled exploration.
The short version
- Our Burgundy Day Tour meets you at the Saint-Bénigne church, a block and a half from Dijon station, off the early TGV: a tasting workshop, a grand house, lunch at a winery, the Romanée-Conti vineyard and a family domaine, at least seven tastings and all fees included, $300 per person before rail.
- The day runs Tuesday to Saturday from April through November, eight guests maximum, with winter dates on request; the train leaves Paris before 8:00 and the day runs about 12 hours.
- Dijon is 1 hour 35 from Gare de Lyon by direct TGV, and Beaune is 20 minutes further by local train; the vineyard villages between them have no bus worth planning a day around.
- In Beaune itself, the Hôtel-Dieu is open every day, €12.50 with the handset, and the Hospices wine auction runs November 13 to 15, 2026.
- Any of our tours can be made private; ask us for a date, and add rail at booking, $466 in 2nd class or $516 in 1st.

Beaune and the Côte
The Route des Grands Crus runs south from Dijon through the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges, villages a few minutes apart with the vineyard walls between them, and on to Beaune, the wine capital, 20 minutes from Dijon by local train. The Romanée-Conti stop is a low stone wall and a cross; the point is standing in front of it.
In Beaune, the Hôtel-Dieu is open every day, €12.50 with the handset, and its glazed roof is the image of Burgundy; the Hospices wine auction runs November 13 to 15 in 2026. The Clos de Vougeot, the Cistercian château among the vines, charges €12.
Our Burgundy Day Tour covers the Côte with a guide and a van, all tastings included, Tuesday to Saturday from April through November; anyone staying two nights in Beaune can add the Côte de Beaune villages south of town, Pommard, Volnay and Meursault, on the second day.
