Our three and four day Hidden Gem breaks at Château de Cîteaux are based in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards, in the picturesque village of Meursault, in an opulent French Château. On this break, you will have the opportunity to make the most of the Château’s superb facilities including the gastronomic restaurant and the spa (with many Fruitithérapie treatments), as well as discover the world-famous Burgundy vineyards and their iconic wines.
Upon arrival in Meursault, check into your Superior room at the 4* La Cueillette Hôtel & Spa – Château de Cîteaux. The remainder of the day will be free for you to do as you please. In the evening, a five course gastronomic dinner will be served in the hotel’s gourmet restaurant. Please note that drinks have not been included as part of the package, and can be ordered and paid for locally.
On the morning of day two, bicycles will be waiting for you at the Château. Today, you will cycle through the charming vineyards of the Côte de Beaune. You will firstly cycle to the famous village of Puligny-Montrachet, where you will be welcomed as the guests at one of the biggest names in the village. The experience will include an hour spent in the vineyards, learning all about the work undertaken here, before returning to the winery, where you will enjoy a tour of their estate and cellars. Following the tour, you will be invited into their tasting room, where a broad tasting of six wines from the Côte de Beaune will be offered alongside a delightful three course lunch. The owners and staff are very gracious hosts and the wine tastings and meal always prove both enjoyable and enlightening.
In the afternoon, cycle to the magnificent Château de Chassagne-Montrachet. Here, you will enjoy a full tour of the Château’s beautiful cellars dating back to the 11th and 14th Centuries, and your tour will conclude with tastings of five wines from across the region. We would be delighted to suggest a restaurant and reserve you a table for dinner this evening if required.
On the morning of day three, you will be met at the Châteaul by a pre-booked and pre-paid taxi, which will take you to the charming town of Beaune. Here, you will be welcomed at the estate of a famous producer. As well as having a full tour of the winery, you will taste six wines from vineyards located in different Burgundy villages.
After the tour, your taxi will return to take you to Aloxe-Corton. You will be welcomed as the guests of the authentic family-owned Domaine Comte Sénard, where you will enjoy a visit of the vineyard, Les Clos des Meix, as well as the 13th Century cellars. The visit will conclude with a three course traditional lunch, during which you will have the unique opportunity to taste six different wines, complemented further by comments from one the estate’s sommeliers.
You will then be taken to Vosne-Romanée, where you will end your day in style with a VIP tour of a premium winery, which will include a visit of the cellars, explanation of the wine-making process and tastings of five different wines produced at the estate. You will be taken back to your hotel at the end of the day. As always, we would be pleased to reserve you a table for dinner if required.
After a leisurely breakfast, on day four check out of the hotel.

I recently went on a Grape Escapes wine tasting tour of the Burgundy vineyards with my son. Both he and I live and work outside the UK, and our opportunities to meet up are rare. It was great to spend time with him experiencing some of the world’s great wines in fantastic settings like Aloxe Corton and Gevrey Chambertin. We had previously visited Champagne together, and will definitely be travelling with Grape Escapes again in the future.

We got back last night from our Burgundy escapade, and I am happy to tell you that it was all a great success. Your choices of stops proved very well-judged, each different from the next and each full of interest. What came through with amazing force was the absolute passion of everyone who took us round for what they were doing, their profound knowledge of their terroirs, and the dedication of everyone involved.
