Welcome to Beaune – A Taste of Burgundy’s Charm

After settling in, our local guide will meet you to get you fitted on your bike, ensuring you’re ready for the journey ahead. Spend the evening strolling Beaune’s cobbled streets, exploring its charming wine bars and bistros, or simply relaxing at a café. Tonight’s dinner is yours to discover—perhaps a classic boeuf bourguignon paired with a local Pinot Noir?

Day 2

Beaune to Nolay/Rully – Pedaling Through Prestigious Vineyards (45km/28mi)

Today, you’ll cycle south along the legendary Route des Grands Crus, passing through some of Burgundy’s most renowned wine villages—Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, and Puligny-Montrachet. If you’re a wine lover, these names need no introduction. As you ride, you’ll smell the rich aroma of the vineyards and have the chance to stop for tastings along the way. Arriving in Nolay or Rully, you’ll settle into your charming accommodations before enjoying an included dinner, celebrating a day well spent in wine country.

Day 3

Nolay/Rully to Sainte Sabine – A Ride Through Hidden Burgundy (40km/25mi)

Leave the vineyards behind as you venture into Burgundy’s peaceful countryside, riding through rolling hills and scenic backroads that most tourists never get the chance to see. This is where Burgundy cycling truly shines—a quiet ride through villages and valleys that feel untouched by time. Your destination is Sainte Sabine, a breathtaking spot that offers stunning views of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, a fairy-tale hilltop village across the valley. Tonight, enjoy an included dinner and relax in this enchanting setting.

Day 4

Sainte Sabine to Dijon – A Scenic Canal Ride (50km/31mi)

Today’s ride is one of the easiest and most scenic of your trip. Follow a dedicated bike path along the Burgundy Canal, a gentle, flat route that makes for a relaxing and enjoyable journey. Along the way, charming riverside villages provide the perfect spots for a leisurely lunch. By afternoon, you’ll roll into Dijon, Burgundy’s historic capital, known for its elegant architecture, vibrant markets, and incredible gastronomy. Your included dinner tonight ensures a delightful culinary experience.

Day 5

Dijon to Beaune – The Grand Finale (40km/25mi)

Your final day of cycling takes you back to Beaune, but not before passing through Nuits-Saint-Georges, one of Burgundy’s most famous wine towns. Stop for lunch or enjoy a last wine tasting before cruising into Beaune for your last night in this charming town. Enjoy a farewell toast at a local wine cellar or a leisurely stroll through the town’s historic streets. Dinner is on your own, so choose your favorite spot for one last taste of Burgundy’s culinary magic.

Day 6

Departure – A Fond Farewell to Burgundy

Enjoy a relaxing breakfast before we transfer you to the train station, ready for your onward journey. Whether you’re heading to Paris, Provence, or another European adventure, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories of this Burgundy bike tour—and maybe a bottle or two of your favorite wines to bring home.
