I used Sue Boxell as my driver and guide for my first trip to Burgundy in February 2012, based on recommendations and largely because she worked with me ahead of time to customize a combination photography and wine schedule covering two full days. I'm an advanced amateur in new world wines and my cellar is about 60% Burgundian wines from... More

My husband told me to cool down before writing a review....Well, months after our experience I still get hot under the collar when recalling that day. To be brief and as objective as possible: Positives: Pleasant lunch at a little bistro up in the hills - very gracious service. The other folks on the trip were congenial. We did see... More

We visited Burgundy in December 2011 in the period between Christmas and New Year - a time which is not the time to go to Burgundy without the help of Sue. Parts of France shut down almost entirely at this time of year and without Sue, we would not have stood a chance of finding domaines that would open to... More

If you’d like to spend a day with an irritable, unpleasant know-it-all who arrives late, drives too fast, charges a fortune and provides only a superficial level of information about Burgundy wines, then book a tour with Sue Boxell and her company, “Burgundy on a Plate”. We had agreed in advance to pay Sue an extra fee to pick us... More

My husband and I paid 265 euro each for the Premier and Grand Cru tour of Cote de Nuit. While I wouldn't say we are wine experts, we are certainly no neophytes. Because we're from Australia, we have a very good knowledge of Australian wines. And we cellar our wines. Having said all that, we are sadly unfamiliar with French... More

We have used Sue twice for Burgundy wine tours--once in 2008, and again last week. We love working with her, but she is essentially a one-woman show, thus isn't for everyone. If you want a private tour with access to amazing wines and restaurants, this is your guide. If you're single and want to meet people, want a large-group tour,... More

I recently traveled through Europe with 2 of my friends. When we decided to stop in Burgundy we were told that we needed to take a tour in order to visit different wineries. I would highly recommend Burgundy on a Plate. I don't think any of us really knew exactly what to expect but this tour went above and beyond.... More

I recently visited the Burgundy region with two friends. We had a fantastic time on our tour with Sue. We were able to visit winemakers whose wine we otherwise would not have been able to taste. Sue was incredibly knowledgeable about the wine and answered any and all of our questions. Because my friends and I are fairly young, we... More

As part of a month long visit to France, we opted to splurge on a five-day Heart of Burgundy tour in order to get a thorough grounding in the food and wine culture of the region. While the price seems high, it did include local transportation, a bilingual tour guide, several quality meals and the attractions included in our itinerary.... More
