SIDECAR excursions in the vineyards - “The soul of Burgundy’s 'terroir'“ trip - 2 hours
Presentation
Treat yourself to an original, unusual, fun, 100% vineyard experience! Hop aboard a magnificent vintage sidecar and head for the prestigious vineyards of Burgundy in complete safety!
Gilles, your sidecar guide, will welcome you as a friend and share his passion for wines and the region, showing you wine villages, the most beautiful landscapes and breathtaking viewpoints.
The tour departs from Meursault, the capital of Burgundy's great white wines, also famous for its glazed-tiled town hall, which became iconic after the film "La Grande Vadrouille" (Don't Look Now ... We're Being Shot At!).
Surrounded by the finest wines in the southern Côte de Beaune, the route takes you along quiet country roads to reveal the region's hidden gems. These tours are designed to give you a first glimpse into understanding Burgundy’s “terroir” (the land and its produce), and inspire you to explore further with the many professionals in the field.
This two-hour excursion also includes a guided tasting of a Prosper Maufoux wine (white or red, as you prefer), in the very vineyard where it was produced.
Reminder: There are regular photo stops at the best spots (see the highlights of each route), but we can also stop anywhere you particularly like on request.
Each sidecar carries two passengers: one in the sidecar itself and one behind the rider, making this a unique and unforgettable experience.
Perfect for couples.
