Dijon 2026 Calendar of Events

Valentin was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining! We were a small group - me and my two adult sons (USA) and a wonderful woman from Saudi Arabia. We drove to two different Wineries where we were welcomed like family. It was very educational and informative but relaxed at the same time. I highly recommend Valentin and this wine tour! If I’m fortunate enough to go back to Dijon - I would do it again!

Wine Compass was one of the highlights of our time in Dijon. The tasting was fun, highly informative, and exceptionally well done. Matthieu is charming, engaging, and remarkably knowledgeable, not only about Dijon and Burgundy but also about wines from Spain, Italy, and other regions around the world. He also has a great sense of humor, which kept the session lively and approachable even as we covered some fairly complex subjects. We began with an excellent introduction to the geology of Burgundy and why it matters so much to the wines produced here. Mathieu explained Burgundy’s classification system, including village wines, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru, and then helped us understand how to approach a wine through its aromas, structure, and complexity. The tasting itself consisted of six wines, all served blind: two Chardonnays and four Pinot Noirs. Tasting them without seeing the labels made the experience particularly valuable. Rather than being influenced by a producer or appellation, we had to concentrate on what was actually in the glass. I came away with a much better understanding of just how important the nose is when evaluating wine and how aromas can reveal the complexity and character of Burgundy wines. I learned a great deal without ever feeling as though I was sitting through a lecture. If you are visiting Dijon and want to understand Burgundy wine rather than simply drink it, I highly recommend Wine Compass and Matthieu. An excellent experience from beginning to end.

Very knowledgeable guide! Super friendly and well paced to ensure you are following all the wonderful information and tips you are being taught. Highly Recommend!

Matthieu was very cool! The wine tasting was in his little wine cellar, the ambiance was super. The event was funny and interesting and we tasted really good wines. I can only recommend!

Matt was our instructor he was fantastic. We learned so much about the wine, the grapes, the growing regions in France, how to detect whether a wine is older or newer, whether it was a fruity, flowery or herbaceous scent and more. He had a great teaching style as well as a sense of humor. It was a relaxed atmosphere and also so fun! Highly recommended!!

I had a good time with Adrien. His little tasting class was very interesting. Thank youMasumi from Japan

Hubert was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned quite a bit, the weather was perfect, and the wine was excellent.

Invaluable information on the trip taking us to ares we would never have found ourselves With every stop explained

Mathilde was an exceptional guide. We learned so much about the regions history not just the wine. Tasted so great wines. Just the right mix of car tour and biking.

Great overview of Dijon. Just the right mix of detail and overview. We liked it so much we went to Beaune the next day for a similar tour.

An absolutely amazing day riding through the vineyards. Our tour guide Albane had so much knowledge about the vineyards, wine and history of the region. The scenery, food and wine tasting was next level. Highly recommend this tour - it’s a huge highlight of our trip so far.

Matthieu gave us a great rundown on the components of wine tasting, and the wine and cheeses were delicious!

Our guide was really lovely and informative. She offered many suggestions for restaurants, bars and gave us a rich history of the town. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A very nice tour with good stories. I spent two days on it! It helped me to enjoy Dijon more. Thanks! I didn't have a guide and was therefore not picked up.

Very good online tour with good directions and very good pictures. I would do it again anytime.

Aurelien was a knowledgable and friendly tour guide. As part of our tour he showed some really great places of interest and we felt relaxed in his company throughout our tour. Dijon is a fascinating city and the tour was a great way to discover the city and finding its hidden gems. He also gave some great suggestions on where to eat in the city! Highly recommended.
