Frequently Asked Questions

How many days do I need for a private Burgundy wine tour?

Three days is a practical minimum for a private Burgundy wine tour, covering the Côte de Nuits in the north and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Five days allows a more leisurely pace and additional domaine visits across both côtes.

What wines will I taste on a private Burgundy wine tour?

Burgundy produces some of the world’s finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Tastings typically span village-level wines, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru appellations, revealing how the same grape variety expresses differently across individual vineyard plots known as “climats.”

What makes Burgundy wines unique compared to other French wines?

Burgundy is unique in its focus on single-vineyard “climat” wines, where the precise plot of land defines the wine’s character more than the producer. The region’s limestone soils and continental climate produce wines of exceptional elegance, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay the sole permitted varieties.

What is the Côte de Nuits known for in Burgundy?

The Côte de Nuits is Burgundy’s red wine heartland, home to villages including Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne-Romanée — the latter containing some of the most sought-after vineyards in the world.

Can I visit Premier Cru and Grand Cru domaines in Burgundy?

Yes. Heritage Wine Tours has relationships with domaines across both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, including access to Premier Cru and Grand Cru producers for private tastings not open to general visitors.
