What is a Vinotour?
Enjoy wine in the vineyard where it was produced!
Vinotour offers a unique self-guided wine and cycling experience in the Beaune region.
The tour includes three scheduled rendezvous for wine tastings directly in the production vineyards along the vineyard's cylcling track. At each stop, you'll enjoy some wine while the guide explains the vineyard work and the differences between terroirs.
Between these tastings, you're free to explore and enjoy the scenic beauty at your own pace, taking as much time as you need to soak in the surroundings.
Enjoy the perfect blend of freedom and guided expertise with Vinotour.
Hello wine enthusiast!
​
Hello, I'm Pierre, and I've spent the last 15 years immersed in the world of Burgundy wines. From France to the landscapes of Australia New-Zealand and South Africa, my journey in viticulture has been nothing short of extraordinary. It all began with my studies at the renowned Lycée Viticole de Beaune, where my passion for wine turned into a lifelong pursuit.
​
During my two-year stint in the Southern Hemisphere, I gained knowledge into winemaking techniques and global wine markets, further enriching my expertise. Now, I'm thrilled to bring my wealth of experience to you through Vinotour Bourgogne.
