What To Expect

Modern Adventures are designed to showcase the best of a destination, and promote community, sharing and celebration. We thoughtfully curate all elements for an immersive, diverse experience—but you'll still have some free time almost every day to relax and soak in the atmosphere.

Daily Flow

Our Modern Adventure to Burgundy is well-paced and packs in so many incredible experiences—yet it’s not without leisure time to explore on your own, or simply to unwind and relax. While our activities each day will vary, the cadence remains about the same, with most days starting between 8:30 and 9am, and finishing around 4pm, then reconvening for dinner around 7pm.

You will have the following days and times at your leisure, where you can explore, dine where you wish, and enjoy Burgundy on your own. If you would like to make reservations for a specific restaurant, use the following days and approximate times as a guide:

  • Day 3: Dinner in Beaune

  • Day 5: Dinner in Beaune

How We Eat

Our culinary experiences are designed with a narrative to showcase the breadth of deliciousness of the region. We have everything from private wine tastings to decadent meals prepared by local chefs. We'll sample an array of local cuisine and get the best representation of eating in the villages and regions we visit.

Special Dietary Needs

Traveling with dietary restrictions or allergies can be a challenge, but we’re here to help. Prior to your departure, we’ll send you a questionnaire where you can inform us of any special dietary needs you have. Depending on the information you give us, we will work with our in-country partners to adjust menus and be aware of allergies and restrictions on our trip. We kindly request that any changes to our menu are based on need rather than preference, as we work very hard to curate an exceptional dining experience that is difficult to change.

Traveling as a Group

We believe group travel is an intimate, empowering and fun way to learn about yourself and others. Like any good relationship, it thrives with respect. We ask that every guest honors the key times in a day to ensure everyone's experience is the absolute best is can be. This is everyone's adventure!

Alcohol

We'll visit numerous wineries on our trip, and enjoy exclusive access to the grounds as well as tastings. Alcohol will also be included in some of our meals. If you would like to enjoy additional beverages during the trip, either during meals or as purchases to ship home, you may purchase them at your own expense.

Dining Out

Our trips feature a wide range of restaurant and dining experiences: everything from local produce from markets in Beaune to Michelin-starred pairing menus for dinner. We try to balance our meals to give the best tastes of the places we visit. The restaurants we choose are part of the story the region has to tell and known for their quality and the authenticity they represent. We also have times to dine at your leisure, giving you the chance to explore other restaurants and eateries of your choice. Our Trip Leader can assist with local recommendations.

You can expect to be joined by a diverse group of people in terms of age, background and interests—including solo travelers, couples and friends traveling together.
