Touring Burgundy Wine Country
The end of October and early November bring harvesting time to the vineyards of Burgundy. The annual season kicks of when the vineyards begin turning from their vibrant green to brilliant reds, and golds, and oranges. Our tour goes through some of the most vaunted Burgundy wine country between Macon and Beaune and the Chablis region near Auxerre with stopoffs at the beautiful treasures of Auxerre and Semur-en-Auxois.
Learn from a passionate professional
Our photographers are both passionate and knowledgeable about photography and the area. We take you to all the good spots and let you enjoy the journey along the way. We capture as many sunrises and sunsets as weather and the small group will allow, and after shooting, we return to the hotel for a couple post-editing tutorials.
Group size & Options
Not everyone runs at the same pace, and our tours are built to accommodate everyone. We keep group sizes small, so everyone will have some one on one time with the pro. We also will offer different options for everyone. Perhaps someone wants to work on astrophotography late at night, maybe someone else really wants sunrises. We try to be as flexible as possible, so you don't feel like you have to do everything, but you can still get as most out of the experience as you want.
