Day tour to Chablis
Nicknamed the “Golden Door of Burgundy, ” the town of Chablis which is known all over the world, is halfway (180km) between Paris and Beaune. Although Chablis is a charming village of 2,500 occupants, what most visitors truly seek in Chablis is the wine.The flowery, crisp white nectar is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes.
- 7:30 am pick up at your Paris hotel
- 10 am arrival in Chablis. On the way, enjoy the scenic drive through the vineyards to see the panorama of the Chablis vineyards, Premiers crus and Grands Crus
- Visit Domaine Laroche (or Equivalent). Laroche is one of the most interesting wineries to visit. Right in the heart of the village, their cellar is located in the Caves de l’Obédiencerie, an old monastery which date back to the 9th century. Visit the cellars and the old press. Laroche owns about 200 acres in various parts of Chablis. A comparative tasting of their wines will help you understand the concept of “terroir,” (how the wine is defined by the soil, grape and weather) and that there isn’t just one Chablis but many.
- Walk and discover Chablis. Although people mostly come to sample the wines, the town itself also deserves exploration – it is a pretty place with some attractive medieval houses, some with ornate door and window openings, and a few other buildings of interest to discover.
- Optional: Wine tasting at William Fevre (16€/each)
- Lunch in a bistrot style restaurant serving gourmet French food.
- 2pm: Visit and tasting Domaine Long Depaquit (or equivalent). Château Long-Depaquit is located at the heart of the village of Chablis in a authentic 18th century castle. The estate’s grounds boast centuries-old trees and a rose garden, offering a unique, timeless experience.
- Return to Paris around 6 pm (depending on traffic)

“Great trip to Chablis”
Unforgettable experience to go to Chablis! I wanted to go to Chablis from Paris, and it was really difficult finding a tour. Having found Geraldine, the tour was customized well to our needs. As my husband hardly drank, she proposed the tour that mixes both culture and wine tasting. Took us to fantastic restaurant, which all the food there were fabulous. She also showed us around the vineyard.

My mother and I were in Paris on vacation and wanted a chance to see some of Burgundy and to experience the French countryside. Geraldine took us on an amazing tour of Chablis and surrounding towns. She is a master history, local culture, and has immense knowledge of wine in France and beyond. Geraldine gave us door to door service from our hotel in Paris and was a gracious host throughout the day. What a delight to have discovered Geraldine and Wine Domini! Our trip to Chablis became the highlight of our entire trip to France and will be a memory we look back on fondly for years to come! Looking forward to returning to France and taking another tour!
