- Wine Trip in Macon-South Burgundy
There is something new and exciting to discover every single day. Your route will take you from hillsides to villages, from châteaux to stately homes and from Red Crus to famous Great White Wines on a journey where no two stages are the same, through a whole host of landscapes, and with the art of enjoying life all about you, wherever you look.
