These three Beaune day trips all focus on Burgundy wine country, but they differ in route, transport, and how private the day feels. One follows a full Burgundy wine route, one combines Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits with a hotel transfer and wine-stop variety, and one stays centered on Côte de Nuits with a smaller set of carefully selected tastings.

It combines scenic vineyard driving with wine tasting and commentary from winemakers, plus a professional guide-driver throughout the day. The trip is built around Burgundy’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines and includes hotel pickup and drop-off.

Private two-côte itinerary with tastings and heritage stop
Private day tour in Burgundy : Côte de Beaune & Côte de Nuits
Best for: Travelers who want a private day with multiple tastings, a hotel transfer, and time to choose their own lunch.
This private day is the most varied in terms of stops and format. It starts with hotel pickup in Beaune or Dijon, then combines tastings at two artisanal, family-run estates with vineyard pauses in both Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The day also includes a visit to Clos de Vougeot, and the itinerary leaves room for a local lunch that you arrange and pay for on site. With a local guide, local taxes, and minivan transport included, this option works well for travelers who want a structured wine day that still feels personal, with more tasting stops than a single-route visit.
What this two-côte itinerary includes
- Private transport by air-conditioned minivan
- Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Beaune or Dijon
- Eight wine tastings included
Côte de Nuits-focused private tasting day
Full-Day Private Wine Tour in Côte de Nuits
Best for: Travelers who want a more focused Côte de Nuits wine day with many tastings and a stronger emphasis on red wines.
This day trip is the most focused of the three, concentrating on Côte de Nuits and its red-wine profile. The experience includes private transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, a wine expert guide, and tasting between 10 and 15 different wines, including Premiers Cru. The itinerary notes describe two winery visits in different villages, a culinary stop in a wine village, and several route stops tied to Burgundy wine history and famous plots. It is a strong match for travelers who want a deeper look at one wine region rather than a broader Burgundy overview, especially if their priority is red wine tasting and a more intimate private day.
What this Côte de Nuits day emphasizes
- Private transportation included
- Tasting between 10 and 15 wines included
- Air-conditioned vehicle included
