Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This tour exceeded my lofty expectations. Joy was so informative and helped us understand the growing of the grapes and the making of the wines in Burgundy. We went to three wineries, where the representatives of the winery expounded further on their particular winemaking. We tasted many wonderful wines. We had a 2 hour delicious lunch during that time. This was probably the highlight of our stay in France. Lastly, Joy was so very helpful in getting wine shipped back home.

Our guide was Robert Pygott of Burgundy Discovery, a veteran sommelier and Burgundy expert whose knowledge, expertise, and engaging personality made this tour a fantastic experience. It exceeded all of my lofty expectations. We sampled 18 wines directly at 3 different vigneron, including premier and grand cru! Lunch in Beaune was fabulous, and Robert drove us through numerous famous villages and vineyards, explaining and pointing out interesting aspects along the way. The AC LandRover was comfortable, and water and excellent maps, info and tasting sheets were provided. Altogether I can’t praise and recommend this tour highly enough, well worth the price especially if you’re interested in wine and Burgundy. This tour leaves no stone unturned, and wine glass empty!

Amazing tour and tasting through the Burgundy region. We booked the tour early in the year for October and Joy and Robert were excellent in terms of providing advice and planning help ahead of the tour. Joy is very knowledgeable about the region, the wine, and the Domains. Also if you plan to ship any wine home they can help coordinate on that end as well. We highly recommend Burgundy Discovery as guides in Burgundy and I’m sure we will tour with them again on our next visit.

One should always visit a place like Burgundy with an expert, and we certainly did. Our visits were well planned, and the tour/drive through the vineyards was exactly what I hoped for. Robert gave us a great understanding and appreciation of the region and the wines. We visited during the peak of the harvest, and one of the wine makers gave us a tour and tasting. I am sure he had many other things to do and took his efforts as a sign of his relationship with and respect for Robert. Lunch was great as well - food, wine, and company. I was interested in wines from some properties that we did not visit, and Robert was helpful with that as well. Full, complete, and very knowledgeable service. Much appreciated and highly recommended.

Perfect Burgundy tour. Saw a nice range of wineries and tastings. Definitely let them know your preferences ahead of time and they will tailor your experience. Very friendly, nice car and perfect for private tour.

We had a great day on a private tour with Stephane. The private tour experience was exceptional, easily one of our favorite days in a 10 day trip to France. Having the guide all to ourselves was very helpful. We had great food at lunch, and it was very interesting to learn about the history of Burgundian wine. Stephane’s life experiences give him some added perspective that my wife and I both found very valuable. We were completely lost the first time we walked into a wine store in Beaune, but after our trip we felt like pros, debating the merits of Grand Crus vs Premiere Crus vs Village wines from the various regions. We highly recommend.

Great day with Robert and as others stated. He is a great guide and we enjoyed the experience very much. Having never been to the region, Robert shared a lot of knowledge with us and lined up some great tastings. We opted for the upgraded lunch and glad we did. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn about Burgundy!

It is not often that I write trip advisor reviews, but I feel sometimes an experience really warrants it. This was one of those times.

A friend and myself had the pleasure of being shown round the region by Joy. Three things struck me throughout the tour. The first was the knowledge and passion that she had for the wine, vines, and area in general. Her knowledge was unmatched. The second was her eagerness to impart her knowledge and excitement onto members of the tour. You could feel her passion for the wine and got the sense that she wanted members of the group to be more informed and passionate about it as well. Last but not least, it was abundantly clear that she had genuine relationships with the farmers and domain owners and staff we met. I got the sense that during their time in Burgundy, Joy and her husband had not just formed business relationships with these individuals, they had become genuine friends. In every place we went, she was recognised and met with smiles, and more often than not, the owner or sommelier would go into the back looking for a bottle of the really good stuff.

With most wine tours, you expect to walk away with a little more knowledge than you had before, but this tour was something a little more special. I walked away feeling as though I had gone through an induction, not just into the wine but into the culture and community of Burgundy itself.

A truly unique experience which I would highly recommend.

P.S the lunch was also excellent!

Excellent wine - great wineries - exceptional information - all in all a wonderful day in burgundy. We were two couples spending a week in burgundy and wanting a day of wine where we didn't have to drive. Robert was excellent as a guide. He obviously has relationships with the wineries which got us better than expected wines - several premier crus and even a grand cru. All four of us enthusiastically recommend Burgundy Discovery.

Highly recommended. Joy made our trip very memorable and was great to work with in terms of crafting the perfect schedule for our time. Her knowledge of the area is invaluable to any tour around Burgundy. Well worth it!
