TRIP DESCRIPTION

The vineyards around Chablis, are delight for lovers of both culture and wine; they are home to some of France's finest appellations.

On foot or by bike, explore the famous vineyards that produce dry white wine, Chablis is a fine example of a medieval Burgundian village. 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.

We have selected for you a 3* boutique hotel, nestled in the heart of Chablis. Fine wines pairs with fine cuisine. During this tour, your taste buds are invited to taste the traditional beef bourguignon, a wine-based dish bien sur, to dishes that are 'en meurette,' meaning cooked with lardons and red wine. Such dishes include œufs au vin (eggs), coq au vin and jambon persille (parsleyed ham). All regional dishes are either prepared and/or enjoyed with wine.

REVIEWS

Excellent service: we have made several trips with Headwater over the years and have always been very pleased with their friendliness, expertise, efficiency and reliability. On this occasion, we asked for some add-on arrangements at the end of the trip, which were very quickly understood and responded to. Altogether, an enjoyable and confidence-inspiring booking experience!

Efficient, friendly, proactive, and effective

15 Nov 2023

I dealt with Megan Wyatt: she was extremely polite, responsive and efficient. I wanted a more customised holiday than advertised and as such had several questions / requests - she dealt with them all extremely well.

13 Aug 2023

Would recommend them. Tok som time to get final confirmation, probably because of our late booking. But otherwise excellent service.
