Also called Safari Tours, Bacchus was one of the best wine tours we had in France! Booking the tour- Laurence was quick to reply to our emails and very sweet. She offered to pick us up from the station when we got in (we had 1/2 hour from when our train arrived and when the tour started). You give them your credit card but that's only for holding your spot on the tour. No charges were noted from our credit card. After the tour is over, you pay Laurence for the trip with cash. On the tour- Laurence was very knowledgable about presenting the three locations. We opted for three wineries. She presented the first cellar, the second cellar and third was presented by the wineries staff. I loved learning about the different regions and different wines! Definitely had some of the most amazing wines of my life on this tour. From the 2nd winery, Vincent Sauvestre, I fell in love with the Pommard and Volnay. I loved the buttery aftertaste of the Pommard and the light buttery fruity taste of the Volnay. I am enlightened. The scales have fallen off my eyes. I never knew French wines could be so amazing. The only pitfall was another French patron who ridiculed our group for not knowing French. Unfortunately, some of us did know French. And knew he was sh*t talking us. Not cool. He turned red when he realized we knew he was talking about us. From the third winery, we had a white Chardonnay called Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. That first sip forever changed how I look at wine. It was crisp, clean, slightly sweet and so flavorful. It tasted of rich minerals from the Beaune soil. It was the best white wine of my life. I was really sad to learn the price (88 Euros a bottle). Thanks for the enlightening journey! I had an amazing time! read more

We booked Tour 4 and it was an excellent introduction to wine for our first time in Beaune. Tour guide Kim was excellent!

We did the 2 hour tour. Lawrence was pleasant, knowledgeable and all in all perfect for the task at hand. We did not want to spend a half day but rather, get a lay of the land. We had one tasting, but more importantly, she drove us around and inside a bunch of vineyards and explained some history while we got out and took pictures and looked more closely at the vineyards. Her price was exceptional especially relative to her competition. (86€) read more
