EVENT DETAILS:

Classic Cellar Tour      ~     1st to 7th September 2008 
A luxury, personalised and up close view of Burgundy’s vineyards

f you are passionate about great wine, simply enjoy good wine or want to broaden your interest in wine, particularly the wines of Burgundy, thenthis is a tour you will love. The cellars we visit are amongst the best in Burgundy. Some rarely open their doors to visitors but we will be lucky enough to get an insider view, visiting their vineyards, tasting wines from bottle and barrel and talking to the winemakers.

Our private tour will take us through the most famous wine villages of the Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune and Chablis and will include tastings with growers in Cote Chalonnaise producing some award winning wines.
Enjoy the sights, aromas, and flavours of Burgundy as you increase your knowledge of wines. Discover regional cuisine in local wine village restaurants and bistros offering typically Burgundian fare. Witness artisan barrel making in a small village off the Route des Grands Crus and enjoy a tour of the Chateau de Clos Vougeot in the heart of the vineyards of the Cote de Nuits.

Our own Burgundy resident and wine expert will accompany the tour. Having spent eleven years working in a well known vineyard in Vosne Romanee, she will be able to give us an insiders perspective. You can ask her advice on wine, choosing, exporting and just drinking it!

You will also have your Burgundy On A Plate host, guide and organiser present during the tour
