How to Reach Wine Tasting Experiences in Burgundy

Wine tasting tours in Burgundy are easily accessible by different means of transportation.

By Air

Burgundy wine region is located in the central-east part of France and the two closest airports, if you are willing to start your wine tastings and tours in the north part, are Paris Orly (ORY), which is 170/200km away, or Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) that is 200/250km away.
If you want to start your visit in Mâcon to discover wine tastings and tours in Burgundy, you can lend at the Saint Exupéry Airport in Lyon (LYS) which is more or less 100km away, or at the Geneva International Airport (GVA) in Switzerland, 150/170km from the south-eastern appellations.
To start discovering wine tastings and tours in the Burgundy wine region, it's better if you rent a car once you arrive at the airport or take a train to a station closer to the region.

By Car

If you decide to do wine tastings and tours in Burgundy, you can drive along the Burgundy Wine Trail, a 220km route that starts in Chablis and ends in Mâcon (or vice versa). Midway, you will arrive in Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy.


  • Here is some very detailed information about how to reach Beaune and take part in wine tastings and tours in Burgundy: A6, A31 direction Dijon and then Lille or Nancy; A38 towards Besançon or Basel.

  • If you take the motorway A6 : exit numbers are 24.0 (Savigny-Lès-Beaune / Beaune-Saint-Nicolas) or n° 24.1 (Beaune-Centre / Beaune-Hospices).

  • Chablis is 177km from Paris Orly airport and 220km from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, so if you decide to rent a car there, you need to drive southways following the roads that lead to Dijon or Mâcon.

  • If you arrive at the Geneva International Airport or in Saint Exupéry Airport in Lyon, drive towards Mâcon and then start discovering wine tastings and tours in Burgundy.

By Train

The easiest way to get to the heart of Burgundy, and participate in wine tastings and tours, by train is to arrive in Dijon with a TGV from Paris, Mulhouse or Lyon.
From Dijon central station, you can choose to get to four small stations in the Burgundy wine region: Beaune, Meusault (check for TER), Chagny or Santenay.

Another possibility is to take a train to Mâcon and then drive on the Wine Trail and look for wine tastings and tours in Burgundy.

Guided tour and tasting We had the chance to visit the winery and taste some of their wines. Our host has been very thorough during the experience, covering all aspects of their work (the territory, the classification of the wines, the winemaking process, and more). Too bad we couldn't visit the actual vineyard. Guided tasting of good white and red wines.

great tour and tasting The host was really nice and she spent time to explain all the wonderful things about Bourgogne. The wines tasted good as well and we ended up buying few boxes unfortunately this year they only allowed one box per person per appellation because there is not enough supply.

Wonderful tour & tasting A really personal tour and story of Maison Chanzy and their approach to wine-making across the three Burgundy regions, but focusing mostly on the Cote Chalonnaise - very informative for all of us, even the one who knows a lot about wine-making in Burgundy. It was followed by some excellent wines and much appreciated by all of us (except our teenager who is too young!), so thank you for your time and hospitality.

A fantastic experience! We had an excellent time at Jaffelin wines in Beaune! The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about the winery, the vinification processes and the wines! She was very friendly as well! The wines were all very delicious and we ended up purchasing a premier cru Pinot noir, which was beautiful on the palllette! I highly recommend a visit to this winery if you are in the Beaune area!
