Join the Cheese Journeys team on a culinary food and wine adventure to the Burgundy region of France – home to Époisses cheese, Dijon mustard, the world’s most exquisite wines, and gourmet cuisine. Guests will stay in a Sleeping-Beauty-style chateau, visit esteemed wine producers and cheesemakers, sample specialties from regional artisans, and enjoy a private invitation from the chateau’s owner to taste his own personal collection of Grand Cru wines.
Your culinary adventure to the Burgundy launches from Paris and includes a day of exploring the highly regarded cheese caves of Hervé Mons, where you’ll take in the French countryside and enjoy some of the finest cheese in France. Your home base? A stunningly restored 500-year-old château nestled in the Burgundy countryside. It’s been lovingly transformed into a jaw-dropping five-star vacation home by a local couple in the wine industry – yes, you will meet them. During your eleven-night stay, you’ll visit world-class wine producers, meet iconic cheesemakers, learn from local experts, sample specialties from regional artisans, and enjoy a private invitation from the château’s owner to taste his own personal selection of Grand Cru wines – 9,000 bottles – most are never sold to the public!
At the château, you’ll enjoy meals prepared by our private chefs using local ingredients, along with excursions to historic sites and culinary destinations: wine caves built by the Romans, the fascinating Hospices de Beaune, a farmers’ market shopping spree. You’ll also experience a regional flea market to treasure-hunt French antiques and spend a day in the legendary food city of Dijon, the jewel in the crown of Burgundy cuisine. Throughout your stay, you’ll have free time to relax by the château’s sumptuous pool, bike around the countryside, or work out in the private gym. Plus, your schedule includes cooking classes, private cheese, wine, and cocktail experiences – all taught by local experts and our co-hosts.
