A Taste of Burgundy - 5 Days

Paris is the closest international airport, with direct trains to Dijon taking approximately 1.5 hours. Alternatively, we can arrange a private transfer to your hotel. The walk concludes in Meursault, with a transfer to Beaune included on the final morning, from where trains run directly back to Paris.

This walk is available from 1 March to 30 November. Spring and autumn are particularly rewarding — May and June bring the vineyards to life, while September and October coincide with the Burgundy harvest season, when the vines turn gold and the cellars are at their most active. Midsummer is warm and pleasant, though the most atmospheric walking is found in the shoulder months on either side.

Several pre-bookable experiences are available to enhance your time in Burgundy.

Château Clos de Vougeot (Day 2): A guided tour of the château followed by a four-course Burgundy-inspired lunch and tasting of six wines, delivered in English. Available Tuesday to Sunday from April to October, and Thursday to Sunday in March and November. Starts at 11:30am.

Château de Meursault (Day 4): A guided tour of the cellars followed by a tasting of eight wines. Available daily between 10am and 12pm and 2pm to 6pm from April to October, and Wednesday to Sunday mornings in March and November.

Dinner at Clos Saint Jacques (Day 4): A four-course dinner of starter, main, cheese and dessert, paired with one white and two red wines.

You must hold adequate travel insurance for your trip, including cover for personal liability and accidental injury and illness. For all trips involving international travel, your policy must also include emergency medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation cover. We strongly recommend your policy also covers trip cancellation and curtailment, and loss of or damage to luggage.

A cancellation fee usually applies if you cancel after your booking is confirmed. Travel insurance with cancellation cover will generally cover this fee, so it's worth arranging your policy at the time of booking.

Full insurance requirements are set out in our booking terms and conditions.

A detailed information pack and itinerary will be sent to you around six weeks before departure, covering everything you need to know for a seamless experience. In the meantime, our team is always on hand to answer any questions.

Your main luggage is transferred between accommodations each day, so you only need to carry a daypack on the trail. One bag per person is included in the transfer service, with a maximum weight of 20kg. Leave your clearly labelled bag at reception on check-out and it will be waiting for you at your next accommodation.
