À La Française collects you at your hotel in Dijon or Beaune at 9 am, takes you inside the château for an hour, and pours eight wines at two family estates.
Check availabilityIt is the same Côte d'Or, with nobody else in the car. A guide or a driver-guide collects your party, usually at your hotel, and the route bends to what you ask for: more Grand Crus, more whites, a longer lunch. Most private days last seven or eight hours. The 2CV half day lasts three, and the day from Paris twelve.
The price works in one of two ways, and it is the first thing to check. Most fares are per person, and several need two people to book. Some are per car: up to four on the private route day from Beaune, up to six with the custom planner, and up to two from Paris. For those, the price shown buys the whole vehicle.
Most private days stay on the Côte d'Or between Dijon and Beaune. One meets you at Mâcon station and crosses from the Mâconnais into the Beaujolais, and one collects you in Paris for Chablis and Beaune.
Each private day sets its own pickup area, so check that yours covers your hotel. The Authentica days collect you in Beaune, Dijon or within 10 km of either. The custom planner collects you anywhere between Beaune and Dijon, and Along Burgundy in either town or nearby. The 2CV half day picks you up free within 5 km of Beaune, and for EUR 50 within 15 km.
Along Burgundy chooses the wineries to suit what you like to drink. The custom planner books every visit for you and hands you a detailed itinerary. Authentica's six-cru day pours up to 20 Premier and Grand Cru wines, and its ten-cru day walks you among the Grand Cru plots before Chassagne-Montrachet.
The shared Grand Cru day stops outside the Clos de Vougeot for ten minutes. Au Tour du Vin and À La Française take you inside instead, for 40 minutes and an hour. The private day from Paris puts your entry to the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune in the fare.
The Authentica private days take children with an adult, carry infant seats and are listed for wheelchairs. The Land Rover day takes children from 7 and pours local grape juice for anyone who does not drink. On a shared day, many of those doors are closed.
The shared days from Dijon and Beaune carry up to eight guests at a fixed time from a kerb in town. Here is what changes when the car is yours.
| Private day | Shared small-group day | |
|---|---|---|
| Who is in the car | Your party only | Up to eight guests |
| Where it starts | Your hotel, Mâcon station or Paris | A kerb in Dijon or the Beaune tourist office |
| What you pay | $275 to $1,159 per person, or $1,170 to $1,510 per car | $166 to $333 per person |
| The route | Set with you, or planned to your taste | Fixed by the operator |
| Clos de Vougeot | Entry in the fare with Au Tour du Vin or À La Française | Ten minutes outside, or ridden past |
| Refunds | Some cannot be refunded once booked | A full refund up to 24 hours ahead |
| Best for | Couples, families and friends who want their own pace | Solo travellers and tighter budgets |
For a couple, a private day costs well above a shared one: per-person private fares start at $551 for a full day, against $166 to $333 shared. For four in a car priced per group, the gap closes. The private route day from Beaune is $1,170 for up to four, about $292 each, which is less per head than the shared Grand Cru day at $333.
Authentica collects you within 10 km of Beaune or Dijon for three wineries and a three-course lunch at a family estate, except on Sundays. The fare is non-refundable.
