we have two cruise types to suit your requirements
A skip across all that is beautiful in Burgundy! We sample wine, visit local markets, explore historical and fascinating landmarks, visit ancient hilltop castles and even visit an authentic cheesemaker complete with goats! This is our most popular itinerary with something for everybody.
The Savoir Vivre cruises along a stunning section of the Canal du Bourgogne. Each days' cruising takes in all manner of interesting villages, beautiful views, flower laden lock-keepers cottages, all at the gentle pace that comes with rural French culture. After each morning cruise, we enjoy lunch aboard at our peaceful moorings. In the afternoons it's time to up the energy level for your private guided tours! We have two tour sets for you to choose from.
If your love of wine runs deep, then a trip to Burgundy should be focused on what you love! With these tours we get really focused on seeing and exploring all there is to see about Burgundy vinification. These tours are for those who intend to buy lots of wine while in Burgundy and plenty of notice is required.
“Incredible trip!
Thank you to François and June for introducing us to Burgundy. Francois' knowledge of the area, history and culture was superb. The barge suited our group of eight friends perfectly. On-board meals were Gourmet! A lasting memory...” - 2010
“This trip has exceeded any of our expectations – we have been planning our “60th” birthday celebrations for a year and could have never imagined a more wonderful time! We have learned history, gourmet dining, wine label reading and tasting and much French on the “Cote de Barge”! Thank you once again for the trip of a lifetime.” - 2010
