Private Southern Burgundy Wine Day in a Vintage Land Rover from Lyon

This private day in Southern Burgundy is driven in a vintage Land Rover, with a local Insider at the wheel and the backroads to themselves. The day begins in Lyon. Depending on the option chosen, train tickets are provided or a private transfer takes you south. Anyone already in Burgundy can meet the Insider in Mâcon instead. From there the route follows quiet country roads to hidden vineyards and places mostly known to locals. The day includes at least four wine tastings. Some are at small producers or cooperatives, and one may happen among the vines themselves. Philippe's home is one of the highlights. He is a former winemaker turned druid, and his private wine cellar is worth the stop. The rest of the route depends on your interests. The Insider may take you to a hilltop chapel, to medieval ruins, or to a goat cheese farm set in a former Cluniac priory on a Celtic site, where the cheese is sold only on the premises.
