Descend into centuries-old Burgundy cellars and walk among the world's most revered Grand Cru vines with a private expert guide. Seurre sits at the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune — this is the ultimate wine pilgrimage.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you dockside and whisks you north along the D974 — the legendary Route des Grands Crus — pausing at storied appellations: Pommard, Volnay, Meursault. A pre-arranged visit to a Beaune négociant unlocks 16th-century chalk cellars housing millions of bottles ageing in cathedral-like silence. The morning closes with a seated vertical tasting of Premier and Grand Cru Burgundy paired with local Époisses and pain d'épices. Beaune's medieval Hôtel-Dieu is right outside for a final architectural flourish before you're returned to the ship.
Good to know
Beaune is 35 km north of Seurre — roughly 40 minutes by car. Pre-book at least 3 weeks ahead; domaine visits require prior arrangement. Allow 5–6 hours total; confirm all-aboard time and build in a 1-hour buffer.
