Burgundy Gastronomy & Wine Tour

This cycling tour is the perfect combination of Burgundy's most important treasured assets: wine and cuisine - or more artfully referred to as Gastronomy!

Starting in Dijon, a beaufiful city with sites, history, and gateway to vine country, you will make your way across the vineyards of the most famous vignobles. As great wine requires great cooking, you will have many gastronomical experiences in the restaurants we include, but you can also venture out on your own to explore the many excellent choices available in both Dijon and Beaune. The cycling is moderate and is the perfect way to enhance your appetite for the best of Burgundy! This tour is a deluxe program of luxury for those interested in the best of the best!

Bicycle touring in the wine country of Burgundy is one of the most rewarding means of discovering the wine of the internationally renowned Burgundy name.
