TRIP DESCRIPTION

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.

REVIEWS

Very helpful and friendly and kept us informed throughout.

29 Aug 2024

The booking process was protracted whilst I was waiting for confirmation that the booking could be fulfilled and took much longer than expected or than is reasonable. Having raised my concerns Stephanie who is the Customer Co-ordinator from Headwater was extremely prompt in responding to my feedback and in chasing down the details to complete the booking. She took the time to listen to my feedback and to address my concerns. Once she took over the management of my booking I was very happy with the speed and quality of response. Now I have a lovely trip to look forward to in September!

12 Aug 2024

This feedback is about the booking experience - which isn't yet completed. So is based on what has happened so far.

The agent has been very friendly, receptive and patient with our initial uncertainties.

She has been very clear and comprehensive about what's going on, the current status and future stages, moving promptly when appropriate.

Actions have been precise, clear, and concrete, based on (evidently) a good detailed understanding of the products/itineraries under consideration.
