Day 1: Arrive in Beaune
Arrive in Beaune at the time of your choice. The earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to drink in—figuratively and literally—the magical allure of Burgundy’s wine capital. Its cobblestone streets offer world-class attractions including the 15th century Notre-Dame Basilica, the Hôtel-Dieu, with its famous multi-colored tile roof, and the Wine Museum. There are also numerous wine ‘caves’ (wine cellars), perfect for sharpening your toast-making skills for the days ahead.

Day 2: Ride through Côtes-de-Nuits (approx. 45 km or 27 miles)
From Beaune, you will ride through the Alex Corton vineyards and reach the Côte de Nuits, home of much celebrated red wines, where you are invited to a wine-tasting. Also on today's itinerary is the Cassissium in Nuits St. Georges, a unique museum devoted to cassis (black currant) that is of great interest to curious minds. The "Grands Crus" wine road will take you to Gevrey Chambertin for a visit/wine tasting of a domain. Another great visit is Clos Vougeot, renaissance castle and home to the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Burgundy Wine Brotherhood). After admiring the Romanee-Conti vineyard, a quiet road in bucolic surroundings will take you safely back to Beaune.

Day 3: Ride through the Hautes Côtes de Beaune (approx. 40 km or 24 miles)
Today’s ride takes you through the Hautes Côtes de Beaune area and past Auxey Duresses, where vineyards dominate the town and wine tasting is possible…yet again! Quaint roads, superb scenery, and breathtaking views will be absorbed, photographed, and admired! And like magic, La Rochepot, a fairytale medieval castle dating from the 13th century, will appear…and, also like magic……after knocking 3 times on the drawbridge, you may enter and have a look round! The way back will take you to Beaune through Meursault.

Day 4: Optional ride and departure
After a leisurely breakfast, you may choose to do an optional ride around Beaune (includes new sites) or you may opt for taking a stroll through the magnificent town itself and doing some worthy sightseeing (we will provide you with tourist information, suggested visits, etc…). The choice is yours to make the most of your time in this lovely area. Departure at the time of your choice.
