Château Vélo Vino en Côte de Nuits

Explore the Côte de Nuits vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, by bike. This easy self-guided tour is unaccompanied, but you’ll have the help of a GPS app (downloadable after booking) and a route guide. On the programme: cycling, sightseeing, wine tasting and dining along the Grands Crus route! This ride between Dijon and Nuits-Saint-Georges takes you through the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Nuits – it’s no coincidence that the route you’ll be following is also known as the ‘Champs-Élysées of Burgundy’. From our office, situated right in the heart of Dijon’s historic city centre and close to the station, you’ll be kitted out with your bike, helmet, road book, your GPS app (very easy to use) and your return train ticket. Let the adventure begin! Once you’ve left Dijon via a cycle route, you’ll arrive at Château de Marsannay, right in the heart of the vineyards, for a tasting session featuring six wines. What follows is a succession of world-famous names that will unfold as you pedal on. Gevrey-Chambertin marks the start of the 28 Grand Cru plots you’ll be passing through – whilst Burgundy has only 33 in total! Morey-Saint-Denis, then Chambolle-Musigny – the appellation often associated with the elegant, feminine red wines of the Côte de Nuits. It is here that you’ll have lunch in a restaurant serving traditional, refined cuisine. Your excursion continues, and to aid digestion, you can stop off briefly at the iconic Château du Clos de Vougeot, the cradle of Burgundy wines. But that’s not all – your pilgrimage takes you past La Romanée-Conti, the DRC estate, quite simply the vineyard plot that produces the world’s most prestigious wine! Just a few more kilometres through the vineyards along a cycle path to reach Nuits-Saint-Georges for your final cellar visit and tasting of four wines. Your day’s cycling will end with a train journey back to Dijon. This is a private tour; you’ll be independent, and we can tailor the itinerary to suit your preferences and needs.
