We wanted to do a full day tour with Authentica, dive into the wineculture of Burgundy. When we booked, we were the only two guests for that tour, so Emanuel send us an e-mail within hours, proposing other options and dates in case no other booking would come in (minimum of 4 people on the trip, which we knew beforehand). As we were only in the area for 1.5 days, the other dates did not work out. He promised to keep us posted and he did! In the end, he proposed combining two half day tours, with a lunch in between that he arranged for us in a local restaurant in one of the towns we visited. It was the perfect day!
In the morning guide Jérémie drove us through the vineyards and told us tons of things about winemaking in Burgundy, starting with the monks. He seemed to know everything and shared his information with us. No question remained unanswered! First tasting was in a wine club with wines from 6 different estates. Then on to the cave of one of the many, many, many winemakers in Gevrey-Chambertin. We tasted six wines there - amazing to note how the different plots make each wine taste differently. This was accompanied by even more information from Jérémie and the sommelier of the winehouse.
We were dropped of for lunch at one of the favorite places of Jérémie and we loved it there. Great food and lots of great wines. There is a Michelin star restaurant, we ate in their bistro. Amazing!
After lunch, we were picked up by Johan. Jérémie had already shared so much information, but Johan added even more. We went to the Château du Clos de Vougeot with him and as he guided us through the building, we learned more about the history and the current situation. After that he drove us through the vineyards to another estate, showing the different plots and stopping for some great views; despite the rain. At the tasting (6 wines again), Johan showed all the different plots from the wines we were drinking on the map. Which is one of the best things I learned this day: you can see on the map where your wine comes from. Or even drive to that plot if you are in the area and you are interested in that.
For those planning to book: do it! These guys know wine. And more importantly are willing to share their knowledge. We asked so many questions and learned a lot. With so many winemakers in Burgundy, booking a tour with them will give you a great start. Absolutely recommend them!
Thanks a lot to everyone at Authentica! When we come back to Burgundy we will contact you again! Probably for a private tour ;)

Bonjour from Burgundy Astrid. Thank you for taking the time to write us this lovely message and for your warm recommendation! We appreciate.
We absolutely wanted to be able to welcome you despite the circumstances. Glad you had a great "crafted" day with Jérémie and Johan. We look forward to your post about your experience on your blog.

Very fun itinerary, we couldn’t have had a better guide (Johan), and superb wine and food! Highly recommend! Great restaurants in Beaune during the middle of the day. If you want to visit the hospital in Beaune make sure to either get tickets ahead of time so you have a reservation or dont spend too much time at lunch (an hour) so you have the other remaining hour at your visit to explore the hospital.
Another note about shipping wine to your home if you decide to buy wine, ask your tour guide how this works before purchasing the wine if you don’t already know. From my understanding, you can ship 6 bottles of wine to the USA for $120 for shipping only in addition to the costs of the bottles of wine. The 6 bottles of wine also don’t all have to be from the same winery. If you decide to purchase the wine and have it shipped, you have to pay the higher price for the bottle for the VAT(?). Long story short, plan ahead if you’re purchasing the wine bottles and shipping them back home.

Thanks Lilian for your positive feedback and sharing these tips. Those who wish to buy wine -but no obligation during our tours- for shipment outside the European Union benefit from the Tax Free wine price, which is a 20% discount on the price of the bottles. Emmanuel / co-owner

Our group (two couples) had a great day in Burgundy with Sonia as our guide! Sonia was the best-- she was incredibly informative and we learned so much about the region and wines. The two tastings were excellent and we were spoiled by the quality of the wine. Our free time in Beaune was the perfect amount of time to wander in town and have some local beef bourguignon. We would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about and taste the wine of the region. Thanks again!

My partner and I were very pleased with this tour. We both came away from it having learnt so much about Burgundy wines and viticulture. This owes much to our incredibly learned guide, Léonie. She had a wealth of technical knowledge and was willing to share this with us at every opportunity. She was good humoured, well organised, and actively participated in the tour experience, asking us questions and partaking in the tastings, rather than just standing on the sidelines. We certainly recommend this tour to others and hope that they too have the chance to learn and enjoy Burgundy wines under Léonie’s expert guidance.

This was our second tour with Authentica. We took a private full day tour 4 years ago and came back with another couple for another full day Burgundy visit. In both occasions our guide was Jeremie; I must say he gets better with time. He was great; very knowledgeable and more engaging. He was able to identify our tasting preferences and modified our afternoon tasting accordingly. He schooled us on geology, farming and viticulture in general. We all enjoyed our visit very much and would definitely come back.

Merci Beaucoup Jeremie! He immediately made our small group of beginners feel at ease with his great sense of humor and then proceeded to knock us out with his deep, deep knowledge of the subject. Winding through the ancient villages and world class vineyards was everything i hoped it would be, including a stop at the Romanee-Conti vineyards :). The wine tasting themselves were super informative and fun, even for relative newbies like ourselves. I think you know someone really knows their stuff when they can explain it in a way that anyone could understand. He took the time to answer every question and spent individual time with each of us. Getting to go into an ancient wine cellar for a tasting was something we wont soon forget, nor the opportunity to drink multiple premie and grand cru wines. If you are nervous about not being new to the rare world of grand cru wines, take this tour. If you already know a lot about them, take this tour, their deep experience will give you insights you can't get from books and documentaries. Plus some time on your own to explore Beaune and have a delicious lunch. Overall a wonderful experience.

Our guide Sébastien is truly a wine expert, with a passion for oenology and the ability to communicate it to our group. Entertaining and helpful, he made this challenging subject approachable and enjoyable. The 2 free hours in Beaune were great - enough time to have a good lunch and to see the Rogier van der Weyden at the Hôtel-Dieu Museum. And the company worked with me to find this tour when the tour I'd signed up for couldn't go. All in all a super experience

It was great tour with my friend!
Our guide 'Leonie' was so kind and tried to give more information of Burgundy wine.

All the wines which we tasted was great!
Thankyou 'authentic' and 'Leonie'!
