    Fun day
    MaryE_A, Nov 2022
    Thomas was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our day. I would recommend this tour to my friends and family
    Fun day in the Bourgogne Region
    wayne_l, Sep 2022
    Our guide Johan was very knowledgeable and engaging. I learned a ton about the various vineyards and how they determined what was grown where and why. Also, the small group was fun and enjoyed downtown Beaune as well as the tastings. Couldn’t have been a better experience
    A perfect day in Burgundy, all tied together by Authentica and tour guide, Thomas Tracy
    Gerald_P, Sep 2022
    Me and my family, eight of us, traveling from San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and NYC agreed to meet up in Dijon, on our way to a wedding in Florence. We decided that a Burgundy wine tour would be the perfect kick off to our journey. The venue, private van and choice of itinerary from Authentica we’re perfect. Our driver and tour guide, Thomas Tracy, tied it all together for us. From his polyglot language ability to his prior experience as an investment banker and wine merchant, he was able to give us the whole picture, from the early days of the region to now. We appreciated his humor and relatability. Everyone agreed that we had a perfect day and came away confident that we could order a good bottle Burgundy, red or white, and know what we were talking about.
    Top notch guide and first rate venues!
    Peggy_G, Aug 2022
    Thoroughly impressed by our warm, kind, and funny guide Jeremy. Our pickup was timely, and we received a very informative insight on the history and culture of wine making from a guide who participates in producing these fine wines personally! The tasting were an education as well, demonstrating the different qualities in each of the regions wines. We would do it again!
    Response from Host, Sep 2022
    Bonjour Peggy. Merci for this kind message. Glad we were able to accommodate you last minute on our full-day Monday. Looking forward to guiding you again. Emmanuel / co-owner

    A perfect burgundy wine tour
    Francisco_A, Jun 2022
    Wonderful trip with our lovely host Romain. He was extremely knowledgeable about the appellations and climates, the winemaking process, and the history of the area. Truly a memorable experience that left our couples group of 4 feeling much more informed about Burgundy wine. Only regret is I would have loved a private tour for the four of us, just for passenger comfort. Thanks!
    Response from Host, Jun 2022
    Hello Francis. Thank you for your comment. Actually, Romain has made enough vintages to know them well ;-) Next time, we will organize a private tour just for you, I promise. Emmanuel / co-owner
    Phenomenal Wine Tour
    KyleWarf, Jun 2022
    Possibly the best wine tour we’ve been on. Leonie was an incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide. The tour was a perfect mix of time in the vineyard and time in a tasting room. Great wines at both winery stops. We’ll definitely be bringing friends and family back for this tour.
    Response from Host, Jul 2022
    Thank you for taking the time to write to us Kyle. Léonie is a phenomenal guide! We look forward to welcoming you back. Emmanuel / co-owner
    Very enjoyable trip with great tastings
    Scott_H, Jun 2022
    We had a wonderful trip! We enjoyed trips to a vineyard as well as two tasting sites. The wines included several 1er Cru and Grand Cru selections. Our guide, Romain, was very knowledgeable and professional, as well as friendly. His English was perfect. I would highly recommend this tour and especially our guide!
    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Donald_P, May 2022
    We had a very nice day with our guide, Romain, and our fellow English speaking tourists. Romain was very engaging and quite knowledgeable. It was quite a thrill to see the plow horse tilling the soil at Rimanee Conti. We were able to taste at 2 other domaines in Burgundy. All in all, a wonderful day in wine country!

    Great learning experience
    Makenzie_M, Apr 2022
    This tour was really fun and a great way to see Beaune. Paul was a very knowledgeable sommelier that was able to answer all of our questions about the wine making process, the area, and the history. I would recommend this trip for people looking for an informative experience rather than one with tons of drinking. We loved our experience and feel so much more informed before!
    Response from Host, Apr 2022
    Merci for this nice comment. Happy you had a great time with sommelier Paul. Youre right, we want our customers to have an experience that goes beyond tasting. Thanks again for your visit. Emmanuel / co-owner
    A very enjoyable day!
    Michelle_Y, Dec 2021
    Our guide was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable on the local Burgundy wine region. She brought us to a winery, drove us through some of the area and described the different wines from the various plots, and finished the tour with a wine tasting room.
    Response from Host, Dec 2021
    Many thanks for your kind words Michelle. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your day, it’s really important to us. We are lucky to have such a friendly and considerate guide like Sonia in our team and his wine expertise is invaluable ! Your bottles of Burgundy wine will be shipped in the US shortly.

    Philip_C, Oct 2021
    It was a fun day exploring a new region of France. Driving through the vineyards was amazing! Our tour guide Elsa was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we appreciated learning from her about the regional wines. The charming town of Beaune was a highlight!
    Response from Host, Nov 2021
    Merci for your lovely comments Philipp. We let Elsa know. Glad to read that your group of friends enjoyed their day. We have to come back, Paris is very close, even more so thanks to the TGV! Emmanuel / co-owner
    Excellent tour in the Burgundy region
    AnetaDinkova, Oct 2021
    We had a fantastic full day tour with Authentica in October, just as the leaves on the vines were turning orange/red. The views on the Grand Crus route were absolutely stunning. The guide Leonie was also very friendly and knowledgable about Burgundy wines and the region. We got to do 3 tastings in total (about 6 or 7 wines at each tasting). All wines were excellent! One of the other people in the group had a birthday surprise organised as well. Think this tour would be great for a special occasion or birthday treat for a wine lover.
    Response from Host, Oct 2021
    Léonie and I thank you for this kind attention Aneta. Sunshine, autumn colored vines and friendly wine lovers to keep us company: lovely Sunday! Delighted to meet you & your daughter. We'd be thrilled to visit Bulgarian vineyards & come to your wine estate. Emmanuel / co-owner
