On the morning of day two, bicycles will be delivered to you at the hotel. A picturesque 20 minute ride will first take you to a family-run estate in a neighbouring Côte de Nuits village, where you will enjoy a tour followed by a tasting of their Pinot Noir red wines. For lunch, you will be welcomed as the guests of the authentic family-owned Domaine Comte Sénard, in Aloxe-Corton, 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 take a leisurely cycle back 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 cellar, explanation of the wine-making process and tastings of five different wines produced at the estate with a Burgundy truffle. If you would prefer to have pre-booked and pre-paid taxi transfers as opposed to cycling, we would be more than happy to arrange these for you. A supplement of £38 per person would apply (based on two people travelling).
