Burgundy private chauffeur wine tours

Burgundy is a historical and cultural region located in eastern France. It has a rich history dating back to the Roman Empire, when it was known as "Burgundia." In the 5th century, the Burgundians established a kingdom in the region, which was later absorbed into the Frankish Empire.

In the 9th century, Burgundy became a duchy and eventually a powerful, independent state under the rule of the dukes of Burgundy. During the late Middle Ages, Burgundy was one of the largest and wealthiest territories in Europe, known for its wine production and cultural achievements.

​In the late 15th century, Burgundy was absorbed into the Kingdom of France and lost its independence. Today, Burgundy is still famous for its wine and cuisine, as well as its historical and cultural heritage.
