Program Highlights

Wine & Gastronomy Tour

The Wine and Gastronomy Tour may be conducted in English or in French.

What better way to learn about French wine than to spend a week visiting some of the most celebrated wine regions in France and speaking directly to the winemakers about their methods.

Guests begin their week with a Sunday afternoon arrival at the Villa Beaulieu and enjoy the first of several traditional French dinners prepared by our in-house chef.  Dinners throughout the week are specially paired with the wine region studied that day.

Highlights include:

A visit to a local Cote Roannaise vineyard with cellar tour, wine tasting and lunch with the winemaker

Day trip to Beaujolais, a visit to the town of Beaujeu, a cellar tour and tasting at the Chateau du Thil (XII century), lunch at the home of winemakers Odile & Patrick LeBourlay

Day trip to Burgundy featuring a tour of historic Clos de Vougeot, visit to the town of Beaune, wine tastings at 2 Burgundy domaines, and lunch with one of the winemakers

Additional classes and tastings of wines from Champagne and Bordeaux at the Villa
