Experience beautiful Burgundy like a true local
France
Boutique hotels & private villas
Biking, culinary, culture, hiking & wine tastings
May – October
Burgundy is B&R’s home away from home—and yes, we’ve got the wine stains to prove it. Cycle past vineyard-laced hills, cook with chefs who never measure and sip with vintners who’ve turned patience into an art form. From Beaune’s cobbled charm to cellar doors you won’t find on Google, this is Burgundy as it should be: rich, rooted and ridiculously good.

Good to know
Accommodation
Burgundy’s hotels are beautiful, but they are not typically grandiose properties. B&R has access to the best accommodation in the region, where luxury presents itself in the form of local charm and comfort, great service and simplicity.
Getting there
We recommend connecting from Paris, Lyon or Geneva airports via train or private transfer. There are also many TGV high-speed train lines that connect from other French regions.
Weather
The best months for weather in Burgundy are usually mid-May to late June, and late August to early October. July is great too, but peak summer can be hot and sticky.
