In addition to the one-hour tour of the climats (see description of "Escapade dans les Climats de Bourgogne"), you'll get to know the soul of the terroir of the Côte de Beaune's emblematic great wines and discover their secrets. Follow the guide aboard a magnificent vintage sidecar in complete safety along an itinerary designed exclusively for you.
Gilles, your Gentleman Sider, will welcome you as a friend and share his passion for wine and the region with you, helping you to discover the wine-growing villages and the most beautiful landscapes and viewpoints.
Like the 1-hour Escapade, the tour also departs from Meursault, the capital of Burgundy's great white wines. The special feature of this tour, apart from its 2-hour duration, is the fact that it includes a glass of wine tasting (usually white) accompanied by a few gougères (Burgundian specialities made locally and traditionally) in a remarkable and picturesque location surrounded by vines.
Reminder: Photo stops are regularly scheduled at the best locations (see highlights of each tour), but we can also make a stop at your request if you particularly like the place.
Each sidecar carries two people: one in the basket and one behind the driver, making this a unique and unforgettable experience.
Perfect for couples.
Highlights:
- Firstly: the unique experience of driving around in an exceptional vehicle.
- Then being as close as possible to the vineyards
- Meursault and its famous town hall

- Crossing the village of Orches at the foot of the cliffs
