Our favourite activities on the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne

Would you like to experience the Burgundy Grands Crus Route in a different way? Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, curious about new experiences or just looking for a good time to share, the Côte-d’Or is full of activities that are as surprising as they are tasty. Here are our favourites for getting off the beaten track.

Sidecar tour in Meursault

It’s the region’s most stylish getaway: a vintage sidecar ride along the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne. On the programme: anecdotes, landscapes, photo stops and tastings overlooking the vines. A perfect mix of fun, terroir and fresh air.

L'Alambic Bourguignon in Beaune

Sab’s – Alambic Bourguignon perpetuates a rare tradition: that of the travelling distiller. With his steam still, he distils the marc and wine lees directly in the villages, just like in the old days. The result? 100% local eaux-de-vie and an immersion in the art of Burgundian distillation, to be savoured with curiosity and moderation.

Spa les Tannins at Bellevigne in Chambolle-Musigny

Here, relaxation and wine go hand in hand! Sauna, hammam, outdoor swimming pool and sensory shower combine for a wellness break between vineyards and bell tower. Don’t miss the tannin bath, the signature ritual of the Bellevigne spa, where you dip your feet in a vine nectar while enjoying a glass of wine. It’s an experience that’s as good for the body as it is for the mind!

Wine and cheese pairing by Lactique 974 at Maison Shaps

Because Burgundy is also the art of marrying two local treasures: wine and cheese! For 1h30, discover 6 wines from the Maison Shaps (3 whites, 3 reds) paired with 6 Burgundy cheeses, including a delicious local goat’s cheese. It’s a tasting experience that’s educational, fun and full of flavour, hosted by wine enthusiasts who will make your mouth water.

Burgundy Evasion by Active Tours

With an electric or classic bike, follow the passionate guide through the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walks, tastings, rallies or tailor-made breaks: whether you’re a weekend warrior or an experienced cyclist, you can enjoy the adventure at your own pace, right in the heart of the vineyards.

Sending yourself to 7th heaven with Montgolfières Nuitonnes
