As admired for its hilly landscapes as for its Burgundy wines, Chablis now has an international reputation for its excellent quality white wines: outstanding finesse, minerality and purity. The vineyards around Chablis, are delight for lovers of both culture and wine; they are home to some of France's finest appellations, and feature some of its most beautiful castles.
Surrounded by the famous vineyards that produce dry white wine, Chablis is a fine example of a medieval Burgundian village. Grown across a relatively small area of about 20 kilometers from north to south and around 15 from east to west, Chablis wines offer a wide range of expression through the Petit Chablis and Chablis appellations and the different Climats of the Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru AOCs.
You will stay in a 3* gastronomic boutique hotel, nestled in the heart of Chablis. In a region known for its epicurean finesse, you will enjoy an evening of fine dining. At the hotel's Bistrot, you will be able to taste Burgundy's excellent local dishes such as Oeufs en Meurette, Poulet de Bresse a la Creme, Perche aux Noix and of course exquisite cheeses like the pungent Epoisses de Bourgogne, to pair with the region's incredible Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines.
Explore the town of Chablis, which gives its name to the world-famous wine. Enjoy wine-tastings galore in local caves with the seven Grand Cru vineyards of Les Preuses, Vaudesir, Grenouilles, Valmur, Les Clos, Bourgros and Blanchots all sitting on a single south-west facing slope just to the north and overlooking the town.
You stay at Hostellerie des Clos (Breakfast and evening meal included)
On today's bike ride you will discover Chablis vineyards. Then, head through the vines to the village of Prehy. Then, in Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, travel back in time as you step down in one of the 12th century cellar before continuing to Irancy a lovely little village with Grand Cru wines, is nestling in the nook of a blind valley, surrounded by vineyards. Then, cycle through forest and farmland to Beine. Do not miss out on the world's largest Vineyard and Corkscrew Museum.

First contact unsatisfactory but much better service when Helen Hodson became involved
Great service from Joanne - I had researched using the website over a weekend, and when I called the office Joanne was able to assist, look into flight and hotel options. She kept me updated by phone and email, and the whole booking process was easy. She was familiar with the trip/location/hotels so was able to give comments and options with her knowledge. Gives me great confidence and I'm really looking forward to the holiday
Used Headwater for last two cycling holidays, the service and accuracy of the routes was brilliant and all accommodation top notch
