Where You'll Stay

Nights are spent in a carefully selected mix of charming guesthouses and characterful hotels, each chosen for their warm hospitality and local character. Some properties offer evening wine tastings and gourmet dinners on site, making the most of Burgundy's exceptional culinary reputation.

What You'll Eat

A breakfast of fresh regional ingredients is included each morning. Lunch and dinner are yours to choose, which in Burgundy is a pleasure in itself. From village bistros and market stalls at lunchtime to gourmet restaurants in the evening, with some of the world's most celebrated wines available by the glass.

More About This Trip

Paris is the closest international airport, with direct trains to Dijon taking approximately 1.5 hours. Alternatively, we can arrange a private transfer to your hotel. The walk concludes in Meursault, with a transfer to Beaune included on the final morning, from where trains run directly back to Paris.

This walk is available from 1 March to 30 November. Spring and autumn are particularly rewarding — May and June bring the vineyards to life, while September and October coincide with the Burgundy harvest season, when the vines turn gold and the cellars are at their most active. Midsummer is warm and pleasant, though the most atmospheric walking is found in the shoulder months on either side.

Several pre-bookable experiences are available to enhance your time in Burgundy.

Château Clos de Vougeot (Day 2): A guided tour of the château followed by a four-course Burgundy-inspired lunch and tasting of six wines, delivered in English. Available Tuesday to Sunday from April to October, and Thursday to Sunday in March and November. Starts at 11:30am.

Château de Meursault (Day 4): A guided tour of the cellars followed by a tasting of eight wines. Available daily between 10am and 12pm and 2pm to 6pm from April to October, and Wednesday to Sunday mornings in March and November.

Dinner at Clos Saint Jacques (Day 4): A four-course dinner of starter, main, cheese and dessert, paired with one white and two red wines.

Travel insurance is required for all Stroll walking holidays, covering cancellation costs, loss of luggage and injury. For international trips, your policy must also include medical evacuation coverage. A cancellation fee applies if you cancel after your holiday has been confirmed. See the FAQ section for full details.

A detailed information pack and itinerary will be sent to you around six weeks before departure, covering everything you need to know for a seamless experience. In the meantime, our team is always on hand to answer any questions.
