Yes, Burgundy is wine, mustard, Beaune, and Dijon—but it’s also so much more. In recent years, Burgundy has been making a strong comeback from its glory days in the late 1980s. as one of France's premium destinations. Many hotels have undergone extensive refurbishments, and new properties are set to open. Believe me, 2025 is shaping up to be an incredible year for one of the world’s most exclusive wine destinations. Having spent some of the most important years of my career as a tour guide, balloon pilot, and barge captain in Burgundy, I can confidently say you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who knows the region better than we do.
