Ultra Luxury Burgundy Holidays

Step into a 15th-century Renaissance painting by experiencing the best of what Burgundy has to offer. Picture rolling green slopes, neat rows of grapevines, French fairytale villages, and century-spanning landmarks, which all set the scene for an unforgettable countryside escape into France’s heartland.

It’s all history and gastronomy here. Begin your journey in Dijon, the former capital of the Duchy of Burgundy - where grand palaces and medieval half-timbered houses tell tales of the region’s regal past. The city’s bustling markets and mustard boutiques add some flavour and life to your day, while the striking Notre Dame de Dijon is a must-see for architecture lovers.

Then venture out even more rurally, into the countryside via the Route des Grands Crus which leads past some of the world’s most prestigious vineyards. From the cellars of Beaune to the sunny slopes of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy’s winemaking tradition is nothing short of legendary. But wine isn’t the only luxe indulgence here. Local cuisine is rich and hearty in both style and taste - and classic dishes like coq au vin and escargots à la bourguignonne are must-tries at Michelin-starred restaurants and rustic bistros to truly pay homage to Burgundy’s deep culinary roots.

For those seeking adventure, the hills and forests of Morvan National Park provide a scenic backdrop for all sorts of action-packed activities like hiking, cycling, and even watersports on lake waves. Plus history buffs can explore the dramatic ruins of Château de Cormatin or the serene beauty of Vézelay Abbey, a UNESCO-listed pilgrimage site boasting Romanesque architecture and picturesque hilltop views.

Whether you’re here to sip, sightsee, or simply soak up the tranquil countryside and its fascinating historical villages, Burgundy is a place of true French vitality - where every moment of your visit is meant to be savoured, slowly and soulfully.

Burgundy In A Nutshell

Burgundy sits at the central-eastern heart of France and has played a major role in the country’s history and culture for centuries and centuries and centuries. Its rich fertile soils produce some of the most sought-after wines in the world while the region’s cities showcase arts and architecture styles reflecting hundreds of years of tastes and trends.

The culture of Burgundy revolves wholeheartedly around food and wine, making it a destination not to be missed by foodies and vino lovers. One of the highlights of the Burgundian calendar is the annual charity wine auction held every November in Beaune—an event akin to Munich’s Oktoberfest in which live music and endless street stalls selling tasty delicacies and local wines brighten the usually quiet town for days.

The vino-centric culture of Burgundy is certainly taken seriously considering the region is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and more Burgundian wines are designated AOCs than in any other French wine region. Even its signature dishes are a celebration of the good stuff, from the succulent coq au vin to rich slow-cooked boeuf bourguignon.

And for history buffs, Burgundy is a diamond destination thanks to its heartland heritage and dozens of medieval abbeys, basilicas, and stunning cathedrals. As you explore its landmarks you’ll learn all about the territory and how it once stretched from the Netherlands to the Mediterranean and was a driving force of European culture and art throughout the Middle Ages.

You’re sure to be struck by the timeless beauty found in its countryside landscape too, with grassland plains, emerald green hills carpeted in vineyards, and forests that burst with all sorts of majestic flora and fauna. As you explore the great outdoors you’ll notice its atmosphere of utter peace and tranquillity, yet there’s still plenty to do if you like a holiday of adventure. Cycling is part of France’s way of life and hiking trails abound here too, particularly in the picturesque Morvan National Park found in the south.

Burgundy’s wine culture is deeply intertwined with its ancient traditions. Stroll the lanes of family-run vineyards that have been passed down for generations, sample the finest velvety bottles, and even take a guided wine route tour to unravel the deeper fascinating nuances of each vineyard’s terroir.

Whether you prefer a laid-back holiday with gentle wanders through the villages that dot the countryside, or a more fast-paced cultural adventure until your feet are sore, everyone is guaranteed that calm and soulful quintessential European experience here.

A car is the best way to take a wide-spanning venture around the region and its towns, especially if you want to explore at your own pace. And it’s also easy to take a leisurely stroll or scenic bike ride around the towns and cities themselves.

Of course. Beyond the adult wine, Burgundy offers all sorts of family-friendly pastimes to enjoy, including easy cycling routes, fun boat cruises, and interactive historical sites like Guédelon Castle—a medieval fortress built using only traditional 13th-century techniques.
