Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion

Guided Winery Tour & Burgundy Wine Tasting

Step into the heart of Burgundy wine country with a guided winery tour at Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion, a family-run estate that has been crafting exceptional wines in Vosne-Romanée since 1896. Renowned for its passion for both fine wines and Burgundy truffles, the estate offers visitors an authentic introduction to the traditions, terroirs, and craftsmanship that define one of France’s most prestigious wine regions.

During the experience, a member of the Rion family or estate team guides guests through the winery and historic cellars, explaining the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle. Learn about the unique terroirs of the Côte de Nuits, discover the art of barrel aging, and gain insight into the estate’s multi-generational heritage. The visit concludes with a guided tasting of carefully selected Burgundy wines, featuring appellations from across the region and, depending on the experience chosen, prestigious Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines. Truffle specialties are often included, creating a memorable pairing of Burgundy’s two great gastronomic treasures.
