Uncork Burgundy: 11 Days of Rare Wines & Culinary Magic
September 16-26, 2026 - **One Room Left** Reserve now for an upgrade to a suite!
Welcome to Burgundy—a place where wine is not simply made, but deeply revered. For centuries, this storied landscape has shaped the soul of French winemaking, where Cistercian monks first tended the vines and defined the legendary climats now recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Here, every glass is an expression of place—of sunlit vineyards rooted in limestone-rich soils, of generations devoted to precision and patience, and of the quiet artistry required to coax greatness from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This is a region where nuance matters, where tradition guides innovation, and where the connection between land, producer, and wine is felt in every sip.
Join us for an intimate journey into the heart of Burgundy—where history, culture, and world-class wines come together in their purest form.
THE JOURNEY
GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN - SEPT 16 - 18
The Soul of Burgundy’s Grand Crus
Our journey begins in the heart of Burgundy, where the legendary vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin set the tone for an unforgettable immersion into French wine culture. After arriving via high-speed train from Paris to Dijon, settle into a beautifully restored château along the famed Route des Grands Crus.
Wander quiet village streets, sip a welcome apéritif, and ease into the rhythm of Burgundy before diving into the prestigious wines of the Côte de Nuits. Scenic drives lead to intimate, family-run domaines tucked into medieval villages, where generations of winemakers craft some of the world’s most sought-after Pinot Noir.
A day in Dijon reveals the region’s cultural and culinary heritage—from the grandeur of the Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne to the Gothic beauty of Notre-Dame de Dijon—paired with market tastings and classic Burgundian cuisine.
