Our guide, Ava, was delightful! She was very passionate about the region, soil, and the wine. We knew very little about Burgundy, but left feeling comfortable enough to pick out the proper wine in any store! She went over the different terroirs and made frequent use of maps to highlight different plots and ratings. The lunch and tastings were splendid!

We are travelling from Australia and have previously visited other countries prior to to France which had amazing service and friendlyness. However 5minutes in France we found them to be rude 10minutes in and they were pushing us, 30minutes and pickpocketed. My advice when you get off the train is get back on and try a different country. Try Ireland, England or even Amsterdam. We are counting down the minutes to get out of this thieving, smelly, rude, dirty country Cheers

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

We had booked a trip with alexia Papin specifically to visit vineyards in Beaune area as we own a vineyard in Coghills creek Victoria Australia. The places she took us to were amazingly helpful & did not hold back on explaining every aspect of growing grapes, maintaining their vines to achieve the best results & the process they go through in producing wine. Alexia’s interaction with the wineries showed how highly they regarded her. Also on our tour we were taken to the many interesting sites in Beaune.

Best food AND service EVER at the Peacock restaurant!!! Ryder attended to our every need with courtesy. I appreciated his attention without being a nuisance and was on hand whenever we had questions about Prescott, the Inn, music, events, etc. I so enjoyed the old historical charm and details throughout the Inn, rooms, restaurant, bar, lounge, and even window settees for taking in the views, just sitting for a short read, or you if don’t want to be in the room. I’ve added pics for your viewing.

I would highly recommend this tour. Nick did a wonderful job of selecting the best wineries in the area for tastings and an education on French wines. Each wine maker shared the winery’s history and a bit on their wine making process. We started in the quaint town of Auxerre and made our way to the lovely town of Tonnerre with an excellent lunch on the way. The wine was great-easy to purchase along the way. Very manageable trip from Paris by train.
