My wife and I were fortunate enough to spend the day with Patrick this past September. This was a perfect introduction to the geography, history, culture, and terroir of Burgundy. Patrick had an encyclopedic knowledge of producers, crus (pointing out La Tâche, Richebourg, etc while outside our first stop in Vosne-Romanée). We visited two smaller, family run producers in addition to one larger producer. Each different but all outstanding. We purchased wine from each producer, and Patrick helped ensure all of our wines were picked up by their shipping partner (including a follow up email weeks after our tour to ensure there were no issues). The lunch in Levernois was exquisite. The day after our tour we cycled south of Beaune, and we were provided directions and an itinerary with suggestions of restaurants and producers to stop at. I cannot say enough about Patrick and Burgundy Discovery. We been on tours in Alsace/Bordeaux/Northern Rhone/Montalcino/Chianti/Rioja, and this was easily our best experience. We cannot wait to return to Beaune, and spend another day with Burgundy Discovery.Honestly, hands down, this was the highlight of our European adventure.

Honestly, hands down, this was the highlight of our European adventure. We were staying in Beaune and organised a small group wine tour (6 people) - Patrick, our tour guide, was very hospitable and his communication for pick up was very easy. The tour itself was a special experience. Patrick has so much knowledge on the history of France and Burgundy, on the wine making process, the details of all the appellations/Burgundy wine traditions, and his food/wine mixing passion. His ability to tailor the trip to the groups preferences was fantastic. All wineries that we visited were excellent, the quality of the wine was special and the lunch at one of the wineries was top class. This is a true experience of Burgundy and Beaune. I could not recommend this more to anyone. Thank you Patrick.So impressed we were we have now had two x 2-day tours with Burgundy Discovery in the pat few years!

So impressed we were we have now had two x 2-day tours with Burgundy Discovery in the pat few years! On all occasions we have thoroughly enjoyed the local knowledge and professionalism of Patrick. His ability to get into places that are out of the way and well beyond the reach of most are invaluable! If you're after a day or two of gastronomical bliss then look no further. You will love the history, the food and above all he vino!!

We were looking for a laid-back but informative tour in which we'd try a wide selection of wines and learn about the region and specific winemakers. Burgundy Discovery and our host Joy was spot-on. We were picked up and dropped off in Beaune and in between spent the day sampling 15+ wines - both red and white. Joy provided context and useful anecdotes at each step along the way. Joy also served as our professor for the day in viticulture, Burgundy history and much else. Would definitely recommend Burgundy Discovery to friends!My husband and I had the most wonderful tour with Joy. We are both novices in understanding wine and she provided us with a well thought through tour and shared her knowledge with us during the day.
