Tour Overview
Champagne and Burgundy: You know the names; you’ve sipped the drinks. Now it’s time to discover for yourself why these two endlessly romantic French wine regions are among the most celebrated on the planet. Starting in Reims, Champagne, and ending in beautiful Beaune, Burgundy, we embark on an immersive cycling adventure taking in world-renowned vineyards, celebrated wine villages and a host of cultural treasures. We will, of course, tour illustrious wine estates, sample the local produce and hear from the experts, while also enjoying the simple pleasure of a gentle cycle along vineyard-lined roads and through idyllic rural landscapes.

Food
All breakfasts, four lunches and two dinners are included.
For breakfast, the hotels offer a wide choice of cereals, fruit, cheeses and cold meats and all types of drinks (tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice).
Four picnic lunches are included, prepared by the guide or assistant guide. Picnics are an important part of a day's cycling, and we've selected a few products from the Champagne and Burgundy regiona for you to try during your stay: Reims croquignoles, cheeses (Epoisses, Charolais (goat's milk cheese), Soumaintrain (made from raw cow's milk), Mâconnais, etc.), the famous Dijon mustard, gingerbread, etc. accompanied in moderation by local wines. We are committed to offering a proportion of regional products, chosen whenever possible from local producers to support short circuits, favour quality products and include a proportion of organic food, and reduce packaging, particularly plastic, and recycle what remains.
The two dinners are taken in a restaurant with a set menu comprising starter, main course and dessert. The restaurants are selected to offer an opportunity to discover local gastronomy including local specialities: the andouillette from Troyes, the white blood sausage from Rethe for Champagne, the boeuf bourguignon and the snails for Burgundy, are all examples of choice.
Vegetarians can be fairly easily accommodated; however, vegans may find the variety of dishes available is rather limited. Larger supermarkets can provide gluten-free bread and baked goods but this is less common in local bakeries.
Accommodation
Each hotel offers a unique character and is ideally situated to provide you a memorable experience. The hotels that we usually use are listed below.
Reims: Hôtel de la Paix (1 night). Part of the Best Western Premier collection, the hotel is located in the heart of Reims' 'Cité des Sacres', close to both the impressive Notre-Dame Cathedral and the shops and eateries of Place d'Erlon. Hôtel de la Paix offers contemporary, elegant décor, and amenities include a sauna, heated indoor swimming pool, restaurant and champagne bar.
Epernay: Hôtel Jean Moët (2 nights) is an 18th-century building in the centre of Epernay, the self-proclaimed capital of the Champagne region. Just a few minutes' walk away is the Avenue de Champagne, 110km of Unesco-listed wine cellars. Accommodation has a fresh, modern feel and a stand-out feature is the breakfast room, which is bathed in light that enters via a glass canopy.
Beaune: Hôtel des Remparts (3 nights). Carefully renovated to preserve the building's history and character, Hôtel des Remparts is located in Beaune's charming old town. With an emphasis on detail to ensure your stay is perfect, the hotel has a delightful wine bar, and rooms exude a classic French style.
