Quick gourmet biking escape in Burgundy Tour

Package Overview

World-class wine, gentle countryside, gastronomic pleasures – it’s only in Burgundy where all 3 are combined in such a majestic manor. In this long weekend away, you will be able to ride some of the most scenic roads in the world, sip fine coffee in the mornings, sampling amazing Pinot Noir wines in the afternoon, and savour mouth-watering and sumptuous regional food throughout the day!

The pairing of food with wine; a beautiful table, and delicious three successive courses, namely a starter, fish or meat with vegetables, cheese or dessert.

Some of the chefs will probably experiment a new style of cuisine in which they explore new culinary possibilities in the kitchen by embracing sensory and food science, borrowing tools from the science lab and ingredients from the food industry and concocting you the best surprise ever!

There’s no better way to see Burgundy up close than from the saddle of a bike. This cycling experience is the perfect combination for a quick escape.
