How to Reach Wineries in Burgundy
Wineries in Burgundy are easily accessible by different means of transportation.
The Burgundy wine region is located in the central-east part of France. The two closest airports to the northern part of Burgundy are Paris Orly (ORY), which is 170/200km away from most wineries, and Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) that is 200/250km away.
If you want to start exploring wineries in Burgundy starting from Mâcon, 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 first wineries.
To reach most wineries it’s better to rent a car once you arrive at the airport or get a train closer to the Burgundy wine region.
If you decide to visit wineries 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 wineries 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 southwards 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 wineries in Burgundy.
The easiest way to travel to the wineries in Burgundy by train is to arrive in Dijon with a TGV from Paris, Mulhouse, or Lyon.
