Renowned oenophiles, Allan and Ally Bulley, will lead you on a tour of their favorite haunts in beautiful Burgundy. The trip will include visits to some of the most noteworthy sites and cathedrals in the region, of which the Bulleys are knowledgeable enthusiasts, along with standout culinary experiences. Hôtel Le Cep, your home base for the weekend, is legendary for its hospitality and warmth and has been run by the Bernard family for several generations.

Depart from Paris to Beaune by private van to begin the adventure. Enjoy lunch en route at Hostellerie des Clos in Chablis. Dinner will be enjoyed at Eric Pras' famed three-star restaurant, Maison Lameloise.

A classic bistro dinner will be held back in Beaune at either Ma Cuisine or Le Caveau des Arches.

After a morning walk to Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils, enjoy a wine tasting and garden tour of Bouchard's enchanting Château de Beaune followed by a delightful private luncheon in the Château's Orangerie.

In the afternoon, tour the famous, not to be missed Hospices de Beaune, the former charitable alms house founded in 1443 as a hospital for the poor.

The capstone of the trip will be a black tie affair at Clos de Vougeot for the Châpitre d'Automne.

The trip is rounded out with a visit and tasting at Maison Louis Jadot, and a dinner at the famed Couvent des Jacobins. Since 1859, Jadot has been producing wines from the heartland of Pinot Noir, the French region of Burgundy. Dinner will feature one wine from the 1911 vintage.
