Greetings!
No other region in France typifies the concept of terroir more than Burgundy.
Rich in terroir, history, and diversity-and yet only producing 2 grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This region deserves attention and guidance to truly appreciate its wines.
What better way to do so than on a wine tour, where you can stand amongst the vineyards and view the patchwork of soils and the "climats" or parcels of land so precisely divided. And of course, nothing beats the culinary specialties of this famed region paired with the sublime wines! (for example, Julia Child and her famous Boeuf Bourgignon recipe)
Remember, wine tastes better with a story behind it. Let's help you craft your story via a wine
tour! We'll help you get started with this newsletter, new tour options, reduced pricing, and a savings event (see below)-don't miss out!
A bientot,
