Pin It

Since the 11th century AD, the Burgundy region of France has been synonymous with great wine.

It has also been synonymous with breathtaking scenery, with steep limestone hills carpeted in vineyards winding along the Saône River. On this fascinating itinerary, you’ll enjoy both, as you cycle the Route des Grands Crus and enjoy a wine tasting as our guest. You’ll also visit the Gothic Hospice de Beaunes … explore the capital of Burgundy, charming Dijon … roll along a picturesque canal … and taste the region’s delicious cuisine in a private home and at a cooking school. It’s a VBT experience par excellence!
