8 Best Wine Tours from Beaune in Burgundy, Compared

Hours, prices and access verified by the Burgundy Tours team — last checked 2026-09-18.

The short answer. For a shared day, book the Grand Cru route day: it leaves Beaune's tourist office at 9:30 am and pours 14 wines on the Côte de Nuits, at 4.9 from 274 reviews. With only an afternoon, the 2CV half day takes three hours. For four people, the private route day from Beaune is one fare for the car and puts the Clos de Vougeot inside it.

Beaune sits inside the Côte de Beaune, so the first vines start where the town ends, and every one of these burgundy wine tasting tours reaches them without a drive up from Dijon. The days below differ in five ways that matter: shared or private, a full day or a half, which côte, what the fare pours, and whether you can get your money back.

How do you choose a wine tour from Beaune?

Settle these five things in order, and the list narrows to one or two days:

  • Shared or private. A shared day meets at a fixed kerb and seats eight at most. A private day collects you at your hotel and runs at your pace.
  • A full day or a half. Most days here run 7 to 8 hours 30 minutes. The 2CV takes 3 hours, and the winery day with lunch runs from 11 am to 4:30 pm.
  • Which côte. The reds of the Côte de Nuits lie north of town, the whites and reds of the Côte de Beaune around it. Côte de Nuits vs Côte de Beaune sets out the difference.
  • What the fare pours, and whether lunch is in it. The count runs from five wines to up to 20, and some private days do not state a number.
  • Refundable or not. The 2CV half day and the Authentica day with lunch are the ones you cannot cancel.

1. Grand Cru route day with 14 wines: the best shared day

This is the day to book if you drink red and have no car. It leaves the tourist office at 6 boulevard Perpreuil at 9:30 am, returns there 8 hours 30 minutes later, and seats eight at most. The van drives north up the Route des Grands Crus to Chambolle-Musigny, with two domain tastings along the way and 14 wines in the fare, from Village and Premier Cru up to one Grand Cru. If the levels are new to you, read Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines before you go.

It stops for 10 minutes outside the Clos de Vougeot and passes the Romanée-Conti vineyard, but it does not go in. Lunch and hotel pickup are not in the fare, and you can cancel free up to 24 hours ahead. It rates 4.9 from 274 reviews, at $333 per person. The stops, times and inclusions are all in the Grand Cru route day in full.

2. Winery day with lunch: the shorter day that feeds you

This day starts in Dijon, but you can join it in Beaune: at the Hospices de Beaune at 11 am, back at 4:30 pm. From Beaune that makes it a 5-hour-30 day with lunch in the fare, the only shared day here that feeds you. The table is set at a family-run winery, with local charcuterie and artisanal cheeses after a comparative tasting workshop.

The fare pours eight wines, and the day adds a village walk and a stop in the vines. It seats eight at most, refunds in full 24 hours ahead, and rates 4.7 from 49 reviews, at $252 per person. Book the winery day with lunch with the Beaune start.

3. 2CV half day: the best three hours

A private Citroën 2CV, a driver-guide and three hours. The car takes two or three people and meets you at the tourist office at Porte Marie de Bourgogne, or at your hotel: free within 5 km of Beaune, EUR 50 within 15 km. It rolls through Pommard and Volnay to Meursault, where you spend 50 minutes in a barrel cellar with a five-wine tasting, then on to Puligny-Montrachet.

Useful tip. Beaune has two tourist offices, and the 2CV meets at the one at Porte Marie de Bourgogne, 6 boulevard Perpreuil. During the harvest and fermentation the barrel cellar is left out, so ask what replaces it if you travel in the autumn.

It rates 5.0 from 49 reviews, at $275 per person. The fare cannot be refunded or changed, so book the 2CV half day once your dates are fixed.

4. Private route day from Beaune: best for a party of four

One fare, $1,170 for up to 4, covers the car, the guide-driver and the Clos de Vougeot entry. Split four ways, it costs less per head than most of the private days priced per person. The driver collects you at your hotel in the Beaune area for 8 hours: 40 minutes inside the château, then wineries in Vosne-Romanée and Aloxe-Corton, and a drive up through the Hautes Côtes de Nuits.

Lunch and gratuities are yours to pay. The fare refunds in full 24 hours ahead, and the day rates 5.0 from 25 reviews. Book the private route day from Beaune for your party alone.

Four of you, or only an afternoon?

The private route day puts four in one car at one fare. For three hours instead, the 2CV half day drives Pommard and Volnay to a Meursault cellar.

5. Premiers and Grands Crus with lunch: the private day with the most wines

Authentica collects you from your hotel in Beaune, Dijon or within 10 km of either, for 7 hours and three wineries. The fare pours up to 20 wines, Premier and Grand Cru, and sits you down for lunch at a family-run wine estate: a three-course regional set menu, served every day but Sunday.

It rates 5.0 from 51 reviews, at $813 per person. The fare cannot be refunded or changed. Book the Authentica day with lunch for a Monday to Saturday.

6. Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits in private: inside the Clos de Vougeot

À La Française collects you from your hotel in Beaune or Dijon at 9 am for 8 hours. The day spends a full hour inside the Clos de Vougeot, with the entry in the fare, then tastes eight wines at two family estates, one of them an artisan winery in Vosne-Romanée. Lunch is in Beaune at your own cost.

The fare is $687 per person, with two people at least. It refunds in full 24 hours ahead, and if fewer than two book, the operator offers another date or a refund. It rates 5.0 from 6 reviews. Book the À La Française private day for the château and the cellars together.

7. The luxury day: Grand Cru vineyards and a mâchon lunch

Bourgogne Gold Tour collects you from your hotel in or around Beaune, or in Dijon, at 9:30 am for 8 hours. The route passes the Clos de Vougeot, Romanée-Conti and Clos de Bèze vineyards, with three winery visits at Premier and Grand Cru level. Lunch is a mâchon, the Burgundian spread of gougères, charcuterie, cheeses and bread, served in the vines or at a restaurant.

The fare lists the visits and the lunch but does not say what the visits pour, so ask the operator before you book. It refunds in full 24 hours ahead and rates 5.0 from 71 reviews, at $1,159 per person. Book the Bourgogne Gold day when the lunch matters as much as the cellars.

8. Self-drive 2CV from Beaune: the day with no guide

A Citroën 2CV for up to four, yours for 7 to 9 hours on a route you choose. Collect it at Place Madeleine in Beaune or at 1 rue Chaude in Saint-Loup-Géanges, 10 minutes from town, or have it delivered to lodgings 5 to 15 km from Beaune for EUR 80. The fare is $292 for up to 4, with bottled water; fuel is extra, and it refunds in full 24 hours ahead.

No tasting comes with the car, and one of you drives, so that person tastes little or nothing. Book the cellars yourself with Burgundy wine tasting without a tour, then check the self-drive 2CV. It rates 5.0 from 7 reviews.

Which Beaune wine tours put the Clos de Vougeot inside the fare?

The private route day from Beaune (40 minutes inside) and the À La Française private day (a full hour) include the château's entry. The Grand Cru route day stops outside for 10 minutes, and the luxury day names it among the vineyards it passes.

Did you know? The Clos de Vougeot was built in the 12th century as a winery by the monks of the Abbey of Cîteaux. Its walled vineyard covers almost 51 hectares, and the château no longer makes wine.

On your own, the château opens every day: 9:30 am to 6 pm from 1 April to 31 October, with the ticket office closing at 5:30 pm, and 10 am to 5 pm from 1 November to 31 March. The guided tour in English runs at 11:30 am and 3:30 pm for EUR 15 a head, by reservation.

Should you book a shared day or a private car from Beaune?

  • Shared: a fixed kerb and start time, eight guests at most, priced per person, and every shared day here refunds in full 24 hours ahead.
  • Private: your hotel and your pace, priced per person with two at least on most, or once for the car. The 2CV half day and the Authentica day with lunch cannot be refunded or changed; the other private days refund in full 24 hours ahead.
  • The per-head test: a per-car fare wins as the party grows. Burgundy wine tour prices works out the cost per person and per wine.

Every private day that collects you, from Beaune or elsewhere, is on Burgundy private tours.

What can you do in Beaune before or after a wine tour?

Walk into the Hôtel-Dieu, the hospital Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins founded in 1443, under its roof of glazed polychrome tiles. It opens from 9 am to 7:30 pm between 1 April and 15 November, and from 9 am to 12:30 pm and 2 to 6:30 pm the rest of the year; the ticket desk closes an hour before.

The Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne in Beaune ends its visitor trail with a tasting of wines or fruit juices, for EUR 14.50 an adult and EUR 7.50 from 6 to 17. Its 20-metre panoramic terrace is free. More on both is in the guide to tasting on your own.

In November the town hosts the Hospices de Beaune wine sale: the 166th is on Sunday 15 November 2026.

Where do Beaune wine tours meet you?

  • The tourist office at Porte Marie de Bourgogne, 6 boulevard Perpreuil: the Grand Cru route day and the 2CV half day. The other tourist office in town is the wrong one.
  • The Hospices de Beaune, at 11 am: the winery day with lunch.
  • Place Madeleine: the self-drive 2CV.
  • Your hotel: every private day, inside each operator's radius.

The town of Beaune is itself part of UNESCO's listing of the Climats, the vineyard parcels of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. If you are still deciding where to sleep, read Dijon or Beaune; for the days that start at the other end of the route, see Burgundy wine tours from Dijon. The kerbs are on the Burgundy wine region map.
