Join Tenaya Darlington (aka Madame Fromage), Jilly Sitch (our Mary Poppins of cheese travel), and 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.

This Chateau will be your home base during your stay in the Burgundy countryside. It’s a Sleeping Beauty style castle dating back 500 years that has been lovingly transformed into a jaw-dropping five-star vacation home. 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 Chateau’s owner to taste his own personal selection of Grand Cru wines-9,000 bottles- most are never sold to the public!

Your adventure launches from Paris and includes a day exploring the highly regarded cheese caves of Herve Mons and tasting some of the finest cheese in France. At the chateau, enjoy French meals prepared by our private chefs, along with historic site and culinary excursions including wine caves built by the Romans, the historic Hospices de Beaune, and a farmers’ market shopping spree. You’ll experience a regional flea market shopping for French antique treasures -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 pool, bike around the countryside, or work out in the private gym. Plus, your schedule includes cooking classes, and private cheese, wine, and cocktail experiences, all taught by local experts and our tour hosts.
