I just got back from an amazing trip to champagne and Burgundy and have to say it wasn’t easy planning a wine tasting trip to a region I’m not too familiar with! Producers in Burgundy typically don’t/can’t host tastings mainly because because
They run a small operation and don’t have capacity
They sell out of their wines so they don’t have bottles available to open for tastings 🤣
It’s a bit different from the US where wineries develop an entire tourism and travel experience around it. I came across Vosne Tasting Club while researching and thought it was a perfect place for wine enthusiasts like me with no connections in Burgundy whatsoever.
Located in Vosne-Romanee, this club has long standing relationships with surrounding wineries in the area to be able to source bottles from hard to get producers and host tastings. All tastings are private and you can choose various packages to do a comparative tasting of different villages, taste Grand Crus, or create a custom package to open any bottles they offer. Packages range from €100-225 and custom packages vary depending on bottles you choose.
They have impressive line up of wines from producers like Domaine de La Romanee-Conti, Armand Rousseau, Meo Camuzet, Arnoux-Lachaux, Roumier, Barthod, Gerard Mugneret, Bruno Clavelier, Henri Gouges, and many more. If you are looking for ways to taste multiple bottles from top Burgundy producers, recommend taking a look at their website.
