Sensi e Diletti - Wellness Wine Travel

4 Days in Burgundy - Food & Wine Experience

Our Luxury Wellness Wine Tours are an occasion to delight all of one's senses. Two of the most important pillars of European culture are food and wine, therefore, they are the focus of these tours. But what makes our journeys distinct is the daily wellness offering. Whether it be a morning meditation or an afternoon hike, a leisurely bike ride or a yoga session; infusing the day with a bit of santé will open you up to a more relaxed and receptive state of mind, in order to make the most of your vacation.

THE EXPERIENCE

  • Luxury accommodations at beautiful hotels and villas
  • Inspiring local wine and cuisine
  • A certified sommelier escorting you through roads less travelled
  • Wellness and mindfulness sessions to deepen your journey

TOUR DATES

Based on Availability April - October 2022

DAY ONE - BIENVENUE À VOUS TOUS

Upon arriving at Dijon-Ville Train Station you'll be met by a driver who will whisk you away to La Rôtisserie du Chambertin (*or similar). There, you will be met with a welcome beverage at check-in and given a chance to settle into your room, spend a leisurely afternoon by the impressive fireplace or wandering around town. To ready your palate for a sensational start, tonight you'll dine at La Rôtisserie's Michelin starred, gastronomic gem, offering you a 100% local and usually completely organic French experience. We couldn't have dreamed of a more desirable, delicious, and appropriate restaurant or hotel to introduce you to the very essence of Sensi e Diletti as Lucy and Thomas deliver a holistic experience.

DAY TWO - THE TASTE & SCENTS OF BURGUNDY

The fragrant smell of French coffee will great you in the bistrot, where a breakfast buffet is served. From there, you may join Sarah for a walking meditation or a slowly flowing yoga class. For your first event, you'll depart for an exquisitely curated store for the most discerning of gastronomes where you will take part in a cooking class highlighting local ingredients and classic French culinary techniques. After a two-hour, hands-on instruction you’ll toast your labors with a glass of champagne and enjoy a leisurely, seven-course lunch with wine pairing. Following lunch you’ll head to the Château du Clos de Vougeot for a private tour and tasting. As evening approaches, you’ll head back to the hotel for a little rest and relaxation before a lighter, three-course dinner at the bistrot.

DAY THREE - THE SIGHTS & SOUND OF BURGUNDY

You may begin the day again with a yoga class or walking meditation. Your first wine adventure will be an easy drive along the most prestigious stretch of the Routes des Grands Crus, with a certified sommelier to describe the way. Along the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beanue, you’ll have many opportunities to stop and walk among some of the most coveted vineyards in the world, see the care with which these vines are tended and simply experience the quiet beauty of this region. In Meursault, you’ll enjoy a three-course lunch and afterwards a chance to saunter the streets of this romantic, provincial town. You’ll then head back to the hotel to relax (massages can be arranged) and prepare for dinner—an evening of wine tasting under the stars with some local winemakers, followed by pork on a spit with wine accompaniment.

DAY FOUR - A BIEN TÔT

The whole of this experience will be an absolute feast for the senses, so in order to absorb and assimilate all of the experiences of your holiday, Sarah will offer a final morning meditation in stillness or movement. After breakfast, you may check out and you'll be driven to Dijon-Ville Train Station for your departure. Or, if you've chosen an "Additional Adventure" with Sensi e Diletti, we will make sure to set you off in the right direction for your next destination. Either way, we sincerely hope that our paths will cross again.

ADDITIONAL ADVENTURES

And if you just can't bear to part ways, we can keep the good times going. Choose to add a day or a few of yoga and/or wine in France or allow us to design a weekend jaunt for you. The beauty of Burgundy is not only in and of itself, but in its proximity to so much more. Be it the Alps or Alsace, Paris or Provence, Sensi e Diletti will be all too thrilled to augment or map out your weekend. At the very least, we will encourage you to stay and indulge in "la dolce far niente."
