SIDECAR excursions in the vineyards - “The soul of Burgundy’s 'terroir'“ trip - 2 hours
Presentation
Treat yourself to an original, unusual, fun, total vineyard experience! Climb aboard a magnificent vintage sidecar, heading out into the stunning vineyards of Burgundy, in complete safety!
Gilles, your Gentleman Sidecar Driver, will provide a friendly welcome and share his passion for wine and the region so you can discover the wine villages, best scenery & viewpoints.
Your starting point is in Meursault, capital of the great white wines of Burgundy, also famous for the town hall with its glazed tiles that became an icon following the film "La Grande Vadrouille".
Still surrounded by the best vintages from the southern slopes of Beaune, your route takes small, little-used roads to reveal the region’s most secret treasures. These circuits are designed to provide the basic keys to understanding Burgundy’s “terroir” and encourage you to discover more from the industry’s countless professionals.
Your two-hour getaway also includes a commented tasting of a glass of wine and some gougères (Burgundy specialities) during the tour in a remarkable location bordered by vineyards.
There are regular photo stops at the best locations (see the highlights of each circuit), but we can simply pull over wherever you choose for a special moment.
Each sidecar carries two people: one in "the basket" and one behind the rider, making this experience unique and unforgettable.
Perfect for couples.
