Context Travel Burgundy Tours
Burgundy, a name synonymous with viticulture excellence, is not just a wine region but a tapestry of history, culture, and tradition. Located in the heart of France, Burgundy has been cultivating the vine since Roman times, evolving into one of the world's most prestigious wine regions. Its terroir, characterized by diverse soils and microclimates, produces wines of unparalleled complexity and character. From the grand crus of the Côte de Nuits to the village wines of the Côte de Beaune, each bottle tells a story of the land, the climate, and the meticulous care of the vigneron.
The region's history is rich with tales of monastic influence, where ancient abbeys like Clos de Vougeot played a pivotal role in the development of viticulture techniques. The culture of Burgundy is deeply intertwined with its wines; festivals, gastronomy, and even local dialects have been shaped by this centuries-old relationship with the vine. The philosophy of "terroir" here isn't just about soil and climate but encapsulates the cultural heritage and the unique identity of each parcel of land.

Our wine tour with Stephen was everything we’d hoped for. He was so knowledgeable and planned exceptional tastings at two wineries and one wine club where we also enjoyed the perfect lunch!
