the experience
Two regions, a world of nuances
Between Beaujolais and southern Burgundy, a short distance reveals a remarkable change in landscape and wine character. Vineyard slopes and medieval stone tell the stories of two neighbouring regions, each with its own traditions and identity. With your private guide, discover the connections and contrasts that make them so rewarding to explore together.
A château discovery with wine tasting, alongside visits and tastings at two local estates, brings these nuances to life. Gamay and Chardonnay offer different expressions of place, while cellars and conversations give a closer understanding of the craft behind them. A leisurely lunch break in Mâcon leaves time to enjoy the town’s atmosphere, completing a day rich in flavour and discovery.
Why choose this tour
Taste Beaujolais Gamay and Burgundy Chardonnay at local estates, exploring how nearby vineyards give rise to wines with distinct aromas, textures and character.
Explore the medieval Château de Pierreclos, from its historic interiors to its courtyard, then taste the estate’s wines for a closer connection to the heritage of southern Burgundy.
Enjoy free time for lunch in Mâcon, choosing a local restaurant and exploring the town centre at your own pace, with a relaxed pause between vineyard discoveries.
