Burgundy Winery Day Trip from Paris to Chablis
Paris, avenue de WagramChablis and CrémantMax 8 guests
The day to book if you are staying in Paris, want Burgundy wine without a train, and like white wine. You meet at a café on avenue de Wagram and ride in a van of eight at most. You taste at two family producers and a Crémant cellar, have lunch in Chablis, and are back in Paris around 8 pm.

Three producers: Brocard, a family domain and the Bailly Lapierre Crémant cellars
Your first and longest visit is at Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard: an hour and a half among its vines and in its tasting room. You learn how the soil shapes the wine here, and you taste seven of its wines, Chablis among them. For many guests it is the stop that makes the day.
After lunch you drive fifteen minutes to Domaine Bersan, a family winery, for another hour and a half and five of its wines. Then comes a short stop at the Caves Bailly Lapierre, where you taste two Crémants, the sparkling wine of Burgundy. Thirty minutes is brief, so expect the tasting and the shop more than a tour; one guest wished for a guided visit there.
This is white-wine country. The BIVB, Burgundy's wine board, credits Chardonnay with the great whites of Chablis, and Crémant de Bourgogne makes up about 8% of the region's wine. Still weighing up your Burgundy reservation? Every fare from Paris, Dijon and Beaune sits side by side.
Why this day goes to Chablis and not the Côte d'Or
From Paris, Chablis is the part of Burgundy you can reach and still enjoy in one day. The drive to the first producer takes about 110 minutes, and the drive home about two hours. So roughly four of your twelve hours are on the road, and the rest are in the vines and at the table.
What you give up is the Côte d'Or. The red Grand Cru villages of the Côte de Nuits and the Clos de Vougeot are not on this route. Chablis also lies outside the UNESCO listing of the Climats, which covers the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. If those matter more to you than a door-to-door day, take the TGV to Dijon and join a day there.
Lunch in Chablis, at your own expense
You get 75 minutes in the town of Chablis for lunch, which is not in the fare. You choose where to eat and pay for your own, so carry a card or some euros. After two hours on the road and seven wines, a proper meal makes the afternoon easier.
Tips are not in the fare either. The entrance fees and tastings at the producers are, and so are the van and your driver-guide for the whole day.
How the twelve hours run
- Early morning, 6 avenue de Wagram. Meet outside café La Flamme, with its black shopfront; the time is on your booking.
- About 110 minutes by van. Your driver-guide starts on Burgundy and its wine on the way.
- Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard, 1.5 hours. The vines, the soil and seven wines.
- Lunch in Chablis, 75 minutes. Your choice of table, at your own cost.
- Domaine Bersan, 1.5 hours. A family winery and five of its wines.
- Caves Bailly Lapierre, 30 minutes. Two Crémants and the shop.
- About 2 hours back to Paris. Arriving around 8 pm, depending on traffic.
Who this suits: Paris visitors who like white wine
Book this if
You are staying in Paris with one free day, you like dry white wine, and you would rather be driven than change trains. It suits couples, friends and solo travellers sharing a van of eight at most, and anyone who wants to buy a bottle or two at the Crémant cellar's shop.
Book something else if
You came for the Côte d'Or: take the TGV to Dijon and join the small-group day from Saint-Bénigne for the whites, or go on to Beaune for the Grand Cru day with 14 wines and the reds. You want a car of your own and the Hôtel-Dieu: the private day from Paris with cheese collects you at your hotel at 7:30 am, tastes in Chablis and at the Château de Pommard, and includes the Hôtel-Dieu entry, for $1,510 per group of up to two. Both Paris days sit on Burgundy tours from Paris.
What the fare covers and what it doesn't

- Entrance fees

Not in the fare
- Food (lunch stop in Chablis, own expense)
- Tips
The early start on avenue de Wagram
Meet outside café La Flamme, the one with the black shopfront, at 6 avenue de Wagram, 75008 Paris. Your start time comes with your booking, and it is early: guests have met there at 7 am. The café opens in time for a coffee and a pastry, so arrive a few minutes early and sit down for it.
There is no hotel pickup. The van brings you back to avenue de Wagram around 8 pm, later if the traffic into Paris is heavy, so keep your evening free rather than booking an early dinner or a train.
Know before you go
- Lunch is on you. You eat in Chablis at your own cost; bring snacks for the drive too.
- Allow for traffic. The return is around 8 pm and depends on the roads into Paris.
- Eight at most. A small van, so book early for summer and autumn dates.
- Tips are extra. They are not in the fare; the producers' entrance fees are.
- English guiding. Your driver-guide leads the whole day in English.
- Pace the glasses. More than ten wines is a lot before a two-hour drive; drink water between stops.

Day from Paris to Chablis
The visit and tasting at J-M Brocard were all we hoped for. The Crémant stop was only tasting and shopping; a guided visit there would have been interesting.
