Our visit to Burgundy with Isabelle and Bruno was much more than a vacation or a trip. It was an unforgettable experience of a lifetime! The accommodations were incredible, and the variety of activities and winery visits were perfectly planned for us to truly explore and experience the finest of Burgundy! We look forward to the next tour with you!

The Corneaux’s are native Burgundians, Bruno from Beaune and Isabelle from Dijon, uniquely qualified for leading travelers through the French countryside. Bruno has been making high scoring wines in the Ribbon Ridge area of northwest Oregon for several years and is a master winemaker. Isabelle has an eye for beauty, photography, and trip planning. They delight in sharing some of the finest old French wineries, historical hotels, fromageries, coopers (barrel makers), and culinary delights – they have been known to find truffles and Michelin restaurants along their well-planned excursions.

We attended the first tour to Burgundy and cannot speak more highly of Isabelle. The hotels, restaurants, activities, and of course, wine, were all spectacular. Her knowledge of the region allowed us to participate in the Summer Solstice celebration in Dijon, a fantastic picnic overlooking Pommard, and so much more. We could not have had a better experience.

My husband and I had never been drawn to the idea of taking an organized tour for our vacation. Our perception was it wouldn’t be as fun being with a group and that it would be too restrictive. Well, we discovered we were very wrong! In June 2019, we took a tour to Burgundy, France with Isabelle and Bruno Corneaux, the owners of Domaine Divio, and it was an amazing experience! Isabelle had everything figured out – in reality, all we needed to do was show up! They covered all the details you could imagine, exciting and comfortable lodging, exceptional meals and wine (including a Michelin restaurant) and supplied all our local transportation. The best part was having the opportunity to visit Dijon and Beaune with people who grew up there. We never would have had the insider knowledge about what wineries to go to, information about the local area and even a trip to a cooperage which we would never have had access to. It was the perfect blend of being with a group and also having time on our own to explore. We would give the trip five stars and would highly recommend joining one of Wine Detours!

For wine lovers or Francophiles, traveling with Isabelle & Bruno to Burgundy was a dream trip. It is a wine education, family vacation and European tour all in one package. The trip connects the Willamette Valley and Burgundy, with hosts possessing strong roots in both places. The food was wonderful, the wine was plentiful and always flowing, and new friendships were born. Pamela and I will always remember the trip as one of the best we have taken, and we cannot wait for the next adventure with Isabelle and Bruno.

There are trips and then there are experiences that cannot be replicated. Traveling with Isabelle and Bruno provides you with opportunities that the average traveler will never get to encounter. Whether it is access to some of the premiere wineries in the world, including tastings led in person by the most prestigious winemakers, or whether it is a catered picnic on the butterfly-covered bluffs over Pommard, or whether it is a truffle hunt followed by a six-course truffle lunch, or whether it is staying in a 13th century abbey, this trip is sure to delight on every score. Because the groups are limited to a small number, you are able to get into select restaurants for meals you will dream about for years afterwards, and you will never struggle to squeeze your way to the front of a line to get your wine glass filled.
Do not miss this chance!
