Burgundy is as rich in history as in gastronomy, and our cooking tours include everything from visits of sleepy French villages, to medieval churches and Romanesque monasteries. The cities of Dijon and Beaune offer plenty of palaces, museums, and gastronomic tastings for our culinary travelers to explore.
The region is also replete with parks – including Morvan National Park – and beautiful countryside, perfect backdrops for our Burgundy wine tours and culinary vacations. It is traversed by the stunning Burgundy canal, which meanders through the countryside and provides the perfect venue for a stroll, a boat ride, or a picnic during your Burgundy culinary tour.
