7 Days Burgundy Walking Adventure Tour Package
Duaration: 7 Days / 6 Nights Priced From: $7,295 pp dbl. occ. Dates: Jun, Aug, Sep Start/Finish: Dijon / Lyon


There’s no place we know better than Burgundy – in fact, we’ve been here so long we’re considered locals. Our friends in this region are more like family now and that makes every trip here, well, a homecoming. So while our travellers inevitably rave about the great wine, the tranquil trails, idyllic villages and fabulous hotels, we believe Burgundy, like its world-class wine, is most memorable for being experienced in good company. Whether you’re clinking glasses in a medieval monastery, a subterranean wine cellar, or a 13thC castle with towers, moats and drawbridge, you may be surprised at how quickly you’ll come to feel at home.
Trip Highlights
•Stroll past the domaines of the world’s most famous vintners

•Stay in hotels as historic as they are grand, including the new and exclusive Abbaye de la Bussière
•Dine on superb Michelin-starred creations while looking out over the hills of the Beaujolais
Tour Accommodations
Abbaye de la Bussière, La Bussière-sur-Ouche Relais & Châteaux Purchased by the Cummings family in 2005, this “new” boutique hotel is in fact a medieval castle that was once a Cistercian monastery and later a hunting lodge. Now the country-house hotel offers luxurious accommodations within an 18-acre park. The château was entirely refurbished prior to its opening, and joined Relais & Châteaux in 2007--the same year Olivier Elzer, the young talented chef of the property’s restaurant, earned his first Michelin star.
Hôtel Le Cep, Beaune Small Luxury Hotels of the World
A collection of noble townhouses dating from the Middle Ages, Hôtel Le Cep is ideally located within steps of the shops and restaurants in the historic centre of Beaune. The courtyard is a great spot to unwind over a glass of wine, and the tower staircase leads to an incredible view over the city’s medieval rooftops. Le Cep also has earned the distinction of being the hotel with which B&R has worked the longest.
Château de Bagnols, Bagnols Rocco Forte Hotels This exquisite 13thC château is one of France’s great historic monuments, complete with romantic towers, moats and a drawbridge. Recently restored to its former glory, the château displays Renaissance architecture and rooms decorated with rare antiques, soft velvets and shimmering silks.
