Private Burgundy 4 Domains 20 Chablis Wines Caves from Paris

Exploring Burgundy’s Chablis with a Private 4-Domaine Tour from Paris

Imagine leaving Paris early in the morning, comfortably seated in a sleek Mercedes, heading into the rolling vineyards of Burgundy’s famous Chablis region. For around $649 per person, this private day trip offers a taste of terroir, history, and craftsmanship, all wrapped into an 11-hour journey. You’ll visit 4 top Chablis domaines, enjoy 20 wine tastings, and get an insider’s look at the wine-making process, all with the convenience of hotel pickup and a small group of 2 to 7 travelers.

Two things we particularly love: First, the opportunity to experience guided tours at renowned wineries like Jean-Marc Brocard and Maison Régnard, which provide not just tastings but also rich explanations of each wine’s story. Second, the flexibility of a private tour, meaning your group’s pace and interests shape the day. The only potential drawback is the full-day commitment—some might find the drive time from Paris a tad long, but the comfort and exclusivity of a private vehicle make it worth it. This tour suits anyone eager to deepen their knowledge of Chablis wines—from casual wine lovers to budding connoisseurs looking for authentic, hands-on experiences.

The Journey Begins: Convenience and Comfort

Starting early at 7:30 a.m., the tour’s pickup from your Paris hotel ensures a hassle-free start. Traveling in a Mercedes E220 or minivan, you’ll appreciate the air-conditioned comfort and unobstructed views of the French countryside. The roughly 2.5-hour drive to Chablis on the highway means plenty of time to relax, chat, or soak in the scenic landscape.

The first stop at Jean-Marc Brocard Domaine is a highlight. Surrounded by vineyards, the guided visit includes a walk through the caves and a tasting of five wines, including Chablis, 1er Cru, and Grand Cru. The staff’s explanations about the winemaking process and the differences between the classifications give you a solid foundation. As one reviewer put it, “The cave visit and cheese pairing made the tasting memorable,” highlighting the value of a guided approach.

Exploring Chablis Village and Beyond

After this introduction, you’ll wander the charming Chablis village for about an hour, free to explore or relax. Many travelers use this time to enjoy a quick browse through local shops or simply soak up the atmosphere of this quaint town. There’s also an optional gastronomic lunch available, which you can pay for directly—an excellent way to savor regional specialties if you’re hungry.

In the afternoon, the tour picks up with visits to Maison Régnard and a fourth domain, each offering guided tours and tastings of five wines. These visits deepen your understanding of the region’s nuances, from Petit Chablis to Grand Cru wines. One review noted, “The explanations by the local sommeliers made the wines come alive for us,” underscoring how this tour combines tasting with expert insights.

The Value of Multiple Tastings and Guided Visits

Having a total of 20 tastings across four prestigious domaines means you’re not just sampling wines—you’re tasting varieties, terroirs, and styles. The guided visits are well-paced, lasting roughly 75 minutes at Jean-Marc Brocard, and about an hour at the other wineries, enough to absorb the history and craftsmanship without feeling rushed.

The inclusion of cheese pairings at Jean-Marc Brocard adds a delicious dimension, illustrating how food complements wine. The local sommeliers’ explanations demystify the complex classifications of Chablis and help you notice subtle differences—something that’s invaluable whether you’re new to wine or already enthusiastic.
