LES TÉMOIGNAGES

Can’t recommend strongly enough!

Sonia put together a perfect day for us, riding in an air conditioned car (it was very HOT out!) through the little towns, stopping at winemakers and having tastings. We also had a beautiful vineyard-side lunch and a wine tasting overlooking the grapevines! Our guide was knowledgeable and personalized the trip, including a cheese shop she knew we’d like. I give this experience an 11 out of 10.

We are just back in the US and able to share our thoughts on our tour with Sonia. In a word “excellent” but will not leave it there.  

In our three weeks visiting Portugal, Spain and France we only booked three tours. We wanted to make our own agenda as we traveled. We must say though we are so glad we book this tour. It well exceeded our expectation.

Our entire trip was about wine and food and Sonia added a level of knowledge of both, especially the wine, that taught us French wine that we did not know. The country side was magnificent and she could tell us wine history from each of our stops. You could also see the level of respect she had for the business owners we encountered as well as their respect for her. The lunch at La Maison was much more then a lunch. It was a dining experience as well as an education in wine pairing. We loved Damian and Ben also, who we met along the way. 

We never felt rushed at any stop and certainly feel this tour added a special day. We will never forget it and would recommend you to anyone. 

Thank you,

Sharon

I have been in many wine regions and met fabolous people. I have to stay Bourgogne Emotions by far exceeded my expectations twice. It can tailor your visit from the very basic to the more complex and sophisticated taste. Elsa has always been my guide and her knowledge is at a very top level. There is always a surprise at the end of the tour. From planning to execution and beyond, best tour I have ever been. 

A must for me every year!

thank you

It was an enjoyable experience with a very knowledgeable guide.

Magnifique et unique

Moment magnifique & unique au cœur du vignoble de la côte de Nuits pour une expérience originale organisée de main de maître !

Our tour was very enjoyable, our tour guide was fantastic – lovely young lady with amazing knowledge of the wines of the area and a great willingness to share what she knows.  She was extremely patient with us and allowed all of our comments and questions to come out in a great manner.

An amazing Burgundy experience

Our day with Sonia in burgundy was exceptional.

We began with a helicopter tour which was about a 30-45 minute overview of the region which gave a great overview of the towns and vineyards ranging up the hill to showcase the elevation and landscape. This helped to understand the higher up the hillside the more exclusive the wine. 

Our first Domaine we met the winemaker and he took us for a private tasting inside his house, as well as a tour of his winemaking and barrel storage facilities. His hospitality was first class and we really appreciated him explaining more about the burgundy wine making industry.

At the second chateau we had a wine tasting paired with a beautiful lunch in private area amongst the vineyards at Comte Senard, with each of the wines being a Grand Cru classe. This was one of the best lunch experiences on our entire Europe trip.

On the way to the next winery we visited the famous Romanee Conti vineyards, from these grapes they make the most expensive wine in the world.

At our final stop we visited some ancient barrel storage facilities with old wine collections and some Grand and Premier Cru wines.

Sonia was an exceptional tour guide and the only choice if you are visiting the burgundy region.

Thank you to Sonia and the team for making our trip to Burgundy so special!

Incredible two days in Burgundy

I had an incredible two days with my tour guide Elsa, Cote de Beaune on the first day and Cote de Nuits on the second. About a month before the tour started, Burgundy Emotions reached out to me to see if I had preferences for the tour. I noted that while I was very familiar with some of the other wine regions in France, I had no knowledge of Burgundy or the wines produced there. Based on my response, Elsa began the tour by sitting with me at a picnic table on the edge of a vineyard overlooking a small town where she explained the grape varietals grown in the different areas, the climat, vineyard ownership, the rating system, the work done by 16th century monks, and terms such as monopole. Elsa also explained the labels and how to fully interpret them. During the two days she tested me to make sure I understood all of the information on the labels. Elsa also provided maps of the two regions we would visit which showed the areas with grand cru, premier cru, village, regional, and Bourgogne Hautes Cote designations.

The first day we toured Domaine Ropiteau and Chateau de la Cree. We also had a tasting at the place in Saint. Aubin where we stopped for lunch. We tasted 16 different wines the first day concentrating on chardonnay, the predominant grape in Cote de Beaune. Nine of the tastings were premier cru and the other seven were village level. Chateau de la Cree had an interesting display in their cellar which showed soil cores in some of the vineyards displaying the differences in soils some of which are quite different in a short distance.

The second day we toured Domaine Philippe LeClerc, Domaine Pierre Bourre, and Domaine Boisset. We tasted 21 different wines, predominantly pinot noir, the predominant grape in Cote de Nuits. Three of the wines were grand cru, eight premier cru and the other ten were village level. The day ended with a special surprise which I will not describe here, but just say that it was extremely well done and certainly unexpected.

The wines were all wonderful. The wines tasted are impossible or nearly impossible to find in the United States. The wine pricing was generally very reasonable based on the quality of the wines. A shipping service is provided with an agency picking up the wines purchased at the individual vineyards and shipped as a group. Note that the wine will not be shipped during the summer, generally between June 1 and the middle of October, due to the heat and potential damage to the wine. Elsa notified me of this shipping restriction at the start of the tour.

The tour included driving through vineyards, walking through wine cellars, and talking to the wine makers. Elsa also gave me excellent recommendations for dinner in Beaune and was nice enough to make the reservations for me.

Overall, I was incredibly happy with Elsa, who is now my favorite wine guide, and the amazing wine region of Burgundy. I am already planning to spend another day there next year.

Fall in love with Burgundy!

Our day in Burgundy (côté de nuits) with Elsa was an absolute dream! My husband and I booked this trip as a 40th birthday gift to ourselves and it did not disappoint! We loved all of the wine we tasted and shipped a lot home. They made it easy to group our purchases together. They even had a very special birthday surprise for us at the end of the day. The local winemakers lunch was definitely worth the extra cost. It is not to be missed! I cannot say one bad thing about our wine tour. Highly recommend! If we ever make it back, we will be booking another wine tasting tour! I would do the entire day over again!

Excellent wine tour conducted by an expert in wines of the region

This is one of the best wine tours that I have ever had. The drive was very punctual and with formal education and experience about wines from the region and other parts of the world. The trips was customized to the specific types of wines that I had interest in. We visited one entire region and stopped in 2 wineries where we had the opportunity to do wine tastings and visit the Estates. During the drive, the guide explained very well the regions and their types of wines that they grow (white vs red). They also helped me get some bottles shipped back home. They were very punctual picking me up and returning me to my hotel at the agreed hour. Truly recommend this company to fully learn about specific wines of the region and how they contrast with other wines of France and how the labels of the region are so unique to Burgundy. All in all one of the best wine tours at have ever had.

Passionate guide, perfect organization and stunning winery visits and wine tastings!

I would like to thank Burgundy Emotions for the moments I have experienced last days. Both Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits tours were organized as per my wishes. 

My guide Elsa was a very nice person and an experienced professionist and she has made me feel so pampered throughout the trips. She has provided me with detailed information about the wines in Burgundy, from the soil to the grape varieties to the classification to the difference between the various villages and climats. Visits and tastings were great too.

It was such a perfect organization, I am thrilled with how everything turned out and I surely will be back soon to discover even more of this amazing region. Highly recommended!

The Grand Cru Tour of Grand Crus!

Sonia is the ABSOLUTE BEST when it comes to planning exclusive unique experiences all over Burgundy. For our last trip (we are repeat customers!), she organized several days of Grand Cru tastings. My favorite was the horizontal tasting of Grand Crus from each of the 7 Chablis vineyards while overlooking those vineyards! My husband’s favorite days were focused on reds – the tasting she arranged at the Vosne Tasting Club and Clos de Vougeot were out of this world.

Sonia can truly handle anything you ask her to do for you – her driving is impeccable, she’s professional, well spoken (excellent English), she is extremely knowledgeable about all things Burgundy, and she organizes truly one of a kind experiences that you should not miss. We can’t recommend Sonia and Burgundy Emotions highly enough. She is amazing!

For our next trip, we’ll put everything in her hands, from lodging to tastings, a hot air balloon trip, and who knows what else she will have come up with by then. We are already looking forward to it.

Amazing experience

Absolutely wonderful experience. Sonya’s attention to detail is amazing. We chose the Grand Cru tasting. She picked us up in a brand new Mercedes. Car was perfectly clean. She provided us with an amazing experience. Sonya may not be the cheapest option but she is by far in a way the best option. Myself, my friends, and my family will continue to use Sonya as long as she will allow. What an amazing trip.

Kundenservice par excellence

Eine wunderbar individuell konzipierte Tour. Verschiedene Winzer konnten besucht werden. Mittagessen direkt in einem Weingut mit exzellentem Menu. Sonia hat sich viel Zeit genommen und wir hatten eine sehr lustige Zeit. Wir haben extra Grand Crus dazugebucht und nicht bereut. Imposante Kellergewölbe mit Verkostung bei Dom. Bichot. Für mich ein Highlight. 

Danke Sonia für eine Menge Spaß und Informationen zum Weinbau an der Cote de Nuits.

Marcus P

A very nice tour on the grand cru route!

We had a great day in Burgundy with Sonia. Thanks to her, we saw so much in just one day: vineyards, cellars, a table d’hote, we learned a lot about Burgundy wine, and she showed us magnificent landscapes. A very nice experience!

We’re certain to come back and relish Burgundy with you again. It was truly unforgettable,

thanks to you,

truly.

First, I wanted to say THANK YOU again for such a great experience in Burgundy. Shannon and I really enjoyed spending our 2.5 days with you!

Thank you so much Sonia! Hope all is well!

Many thanks for Saturday, you provided a very professional service.

Thanks again and hope to use you again.

We hired our driver, Sonia, for the three days in Beaune. She was incredible and very professional. We got a van for the four of us. Very comfortable, very reasonable. Based out of Dijon. Very highly recommended! We did not have to drive once after arriving in Beaune.

I appreciate the excellent service that you have provided me over email and would really hope to engage your services the next time we plan our trip to France.

Excellent dans tout les aspects: explications, palette des vins dégustées, foto stops, visite de Beaune, voiture, itinéraire, connaissance d’anglais etc.

Un grand merci à notre guide Sonia pour une expérience inoubliable!

We booked a full day, and it was one of our favorite days of the trip. Our tour guide Sonia was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the local wines, geography, and culture. We are hardly wine connoisseur, but felt more than adequate to tackle fancy wine with her help. The day included a visit to a larger winery in the morning on the way to Beaune. This included a tasting of three chardonnay and three pinot noirs, including premier and grand crus. The cellar was amazing to look around in, and the ambiance while tasting was great. Sonia told us about the different years and what kind of crops those produced, as well as what to look for when buying the wines. It was very helpful. 

We drove along the roads and even stopped at Romanee Conti just to take a picture outside the winery known for some of the most EXPENSIVE wines in the world. Sadly, we didn’t taste any, but they don’t really do that there. 

On the way back to Dijon we stopped at another winemaker, but this one, a small « boutique » winemaker. The house was absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous Burgundy roof. We loved our visit here and loved the wines. Once again, three Chardonnay, and three Pinot Noir. On our way back to Dijon, we took the road through each of the little villages just to get a feel for each little town. 

I would recommend to anyone, wine expert or not. It was a great day in a great region of the country!

Beautiful scenery and educational tour.

My knowledge of Burgundy wine was very limited before this trip, but I learned loads in one day about the regions, the classifications, and how to read the labels etc. The drive through all the vineyards is beautiful (we were helped by perfect weather), and our guide (Sonia) was very knowledgeable and lovely. (Sonia so sorry we didn’t think about tipping until later; please let us know if there is a way we can transfer it to you).

We tasted 12 wines, including grands crus, and didn’t feel any pressure to buy (though I did a couple of bottle).

Highly recommended.

Sonia is an excellent guide.

Sonia’s knowledge of the area and the wines is amazing. Having her take us through two Châteaus and the tasting of their wines was truely educational and fun. The villages and vineyards are really beautiful.

We are very thankful for the full day tour.

Thank you Sonia for a memorable Burgundy wine experience.

I would like to thank You for an unforgettable day,I have really enjoyed it.

Everything(the planning,the guide,the atmosphere of the tour and its format)was great.

Especially I would like to mention Sonya’s performance. It was very pleasant,clear and convincing..

I would definitely return and take your other tours, especially the  »EMOTION » one,which was not available on the dates I was Dijon. 

I have also reviewed the tour on the  »TripAdvisor » where some pictures where also added(See the link below and picture below)  

Kind regards, Andrey 

We were totally happy with the tour.  Our guide, Sonia, arrived exactly on time.  The car was very comfortable. Sonia was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of wine making, the Burgundy area and the individual vineyards and their wines.  She has a personality which made our afternoon both informative and also a lot of fun.  We thoroughly enjoyed her company.

 

We would certainly recommend the company and our guide to friends.

Nous avons passe une merveilleuse après midi avec Sonia qui a partagé avec nous ses connaissances et son amour de ce patrimoine viticole si particulier ! 

A recommander !!

Exceptional Experience!

Sonia was truly an exceptional tour guide for us during our tour. My girlfriend and I are by no means experts in wine and yet she was very patient with us and happy to answer any and all questions we had. The wines we tasted were truly magnificent and the lunch we had was one of our favorite meals we had in France. Would highly recommend this to anyone with a love of wine or if you are just getting interested in it.
