Dijon 2026 Calendar of Events

Absolutely loved our bike tour from Beaune! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the vineyards and wine, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The e-bikes were fantastic, and riding through the vineyards was absolutely stunning and felt very safe the entire way. The lunch and wine tasting were beautiful and really topped off the day. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend doing this if you’re visiting Beaune!

We had an amazing day exploring Burgundy with Romain! He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and personable, and we learned so much while covering a lot of the region without ever feeling rushed. I had contacted him beforehand about making the day special for my husband’s birthday, and he made the experience truly memorable. A fantastic guide and a wonderful day in Burgundy! Highly recommend to lock him in early as spaces fill up fast!

Excellent app for taking a tour of the highlights of Dijon at your own pace. The explanations at each stop were very informative and succinct. The map was essential and the photos and text were very helpful. This is a great app! I will use it again for other cities.

The tour took us to the highlights of Dijon and and presented the history and significance of each place in an interesting, succinct way. It was nice to be able to take the tour at our own pace. I will use this product in other cities I visit.

Our guide gave us a great overview of the cote de nuits and the two vineyards in particular. Very informative with lots of background information

The hostess and wine shop owner was so lovely. She was so charming and entertaining. We learned a lot about the wines and the region. The wines were amazing. It was an absolutely wonderful evening!

It was great tour beautiful wineries and tour the lady I forgot her name I am so bad at remembering names.. she was great for everything. Highly recommended this tour.

Great explanation regarding the red wine of the region

The tour was absolutely amazing, our guide Valentine was incredible, he was extremely informative, polite, thoughtful and made the day very special, Burgundy are very lucky to have him! The 3 wineries were excellent, each different from the other and lunch in Beaune was a perfect location to refuel and explore the town. On tour we met two very warm and friendly Americans, an uncle and niece who made the day even more memorable and enjoyable. Last but not least, the wines were all fantastic, I highly recommend Valentine and the tour. Book it in!

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.

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!!

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