Burgundy wine tasting​

Discover the essence of French winemaking with our exclusive Burgundy wine tasting tours. At Viavinum, we design bespoke experiences through some of the most iconic vineyards and cellars in the region, offering an authentic and refined journey into Burgundy’s legendary terroir.

Renowned worldwide for its exceptional wines, Burgundy offers a unique terroir and centuries-old winemaking tradition. At Viavinum, we organize exclusive Burgundy wine tasting experiences tailored to each traveler — couples, families, or small groups — always accompanied by expert local guides.

Located in the northeast of France, Burgundy is a mosaic of microclimates and soils that shape the character of each wine. Its geological diversity results in a wide spectrum of wine profiles, from crisp Chardonnays to elegant Pinot Noirs.

The region’s challenging climate — with cold winters, spring frosts, and mild summers — has driven winemakers to refine techniques that preserve grape quality and express the full potential of the land.

With Viavinum, you don’t just visit Burgundy — you immerse yourself in it. We design your wine journey with care and precision, introducing you to the most authentic elements of its wine culture, without losing comfort, depth or flexibility.

Chablis

Produced near the city of Auxerre, Chablis is a variety in the Geographical Indication of the “Yonne Wines” belonging to the Burgundy region. They produce exclusively white wines with the grape varieties of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The wines of the region are characterized by increased acidity and an abundance of mineral notes due to the limestone and a rich in marine fossil soil, singularly tiny shells. These characteristics produce strong, yet elegant wines.

Côte d´Or

This is an area where we can find the most famous and expensive wines in the Burgundy territory, which is justified because of the small size of the territory, spanning forty kilometers in length and two in width, and low production. The most famous wines of the region (Grand Cru) are usually cultivated in the elevated foothills of the terrain, where the vineyards are exposed to more hours of sunlight.

When it comes to choosing the best wine region in Burgundy, many connoisseurs point to the Côte d’Or, which is divided into two sub-regions: Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. These areas are home to the most prestigious vineyards and appellations, producing iconic wines that have earned global recognition. From the refined Pinot Noir of Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin to the expressive Chardonnays of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, this part of Burgundy is truly the heart of excellence.

 

The ideal season for a Burgundy wine tasting experience depends on what kind of journey you’re seeking. However, most wine lovers agree that the best time to visit Burgundy is from May to October. During these months, the vineyards are alive with activity, the weather is pleasant, and the region offers its most vibrant and picturesque landscape.

At Viavinum, we tailor each tour to the season, ensuring you get the most from your visit. Whether you want to stroll through sunlit vineyards or sip a Grand Cru by a fireplace, each season offers its own unique charm for a Burgundy wine tasting adventure.

Burgundy wine retains its iconic name across the world, though in French it is referred to as “vin de Bourgogne.” There has been no official renaming of Burgundy wine; rather, the terminology may vary depending on language or labeling preferences. However, the wines themselves, their reputation, and their classifications remain consistent and protected under French and European wine laws.

 

The terms Bourgogne and Burgundy refer to the same wine region the only difference is linguistic. “Bourgogne” is the French name, used locally and on official labels within France and the EU. “Burgundy” is the English translation and is more common in international discussions, tourism, and exports.
