You’ve been to Bordeaux. You’ve been to Champagne. What’s next? Why, Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, of course!
Burgundy and the Rhône valley in combination is what we offer you on the Grand French Wine Tour in 2025. It is actually amazing how different these four wine regions are, and we’re still in the same country. Bordeaux with its grand chateaux and famous wines. Champagne with big houses and small, independent “growers” and lots of glamour and glitter.
Burgundy, on the other hand is rural. It is real French countryside. But today, thanks to their world-famous wines, a very thriving countryside. Small villages, narrow country roads, a bakery at the corner on the square offering fresh baguettes. With magnificent grand cru (and other) wines.
And then we go south. Having passed Lyon (or, if you prefer, Lyons) we’re leaving butter country approaching olive oil country. Steep slopes along the Rhône River progressively give way to apricots and lavender. Thyme and rosemary in the air. And everywhere, there’s vineyards. From the Dense and dark syrah wines in the north to the opulent Châteauneufs in Provence in the south. This will give you an entirely different picture of France than what you’ve seen before.
