La Terre d'Or

We stayed in the gîte "Les Pins" at La Terre d'Or for a week as part of our family holiday. It was fabulous from start to finish. The gîte was everything we could have asked for, and Vincent and Sylvie were ideal hosts. It was such a pleasure to come back to the gîte at the end of a day out somewhere, driving up the hillside through the vineyards in the late afternoon summer sun, to be greeted by the glorious view of Beaune from the front of the gîte. Just time for a quick dip in the spa/jacuzzi before having a barbecue in the garden with a glass (or two) of wine; then to bed, looking forward to the fresh pâtisseries that would be waiting for us in the morning. It was wonderfully relaxing and our children thought it was simply amazing. There is plenty to do in Beaune and further afield. Vincent and Sylvie were a great source of recommendations for places to go, and we particularly enjoyed our cycle tour of some of the local vineyards which they kindly arranged for us. We would love to come back.

La Terre d'Or is the perfect place to stay in Beaune. It was a great contrast coming from Paris to be amongst nature with a beautiful view down to Beaune with only vineyards in between. Vincent was a great host and was a wealth of information about the region and it's amazing wine. Make sure to go on one of his wine tours!

From the welcoming Kir/cheese , to the estate vineyard tour, to the well selected winery visits, outstanding hosts(Vincent,Sylvie), great accommodations and expertly selected lunches , the visit was superb! As the third leg of a French trip it is the ideal place to feel the sensations of Burgundy! Can’t wait to return

La Terre D'Or is such a wonderful place. The cottage was so cozy and the breakfast on the terrace with the magnificent view is truly special. Vincent is such a friendly and warm host and is very knowledgable about the whole region. I would definitely recommend this place when visiting Burgundy.

La Terre d’Or is nestled among the vineyards of Beaune. There is a main house with five guest rooms and two holiday homes. We were two couples and selected a two bedroom + loft, two bathroom cottage with living area and kitchen called Les Pins. The layout was very comfortable for our three-night stay, with bedrooms on opposite sides of the cottage for privacy. Because our drive from Paris was getting us in around 6pm, Sylvie (the B&B guest manager) greeted us and showed us to our cottage and had suggested ordering a light dinner with charcuteries, cheeses, salad and dessert, at 30€ per person. The food was waiting for us in the refrigerator; but Vincent, the owner and host, stopped by to show us around and explain about the assortment of cheeses and meat (as well as share available wines to purchase and enjoy with dinner). We had reserved, in advance, a one-day tour of Cote de Nuits, which included three local wineries (there was also a two-day tour, but we had limited time and wanted the last day to explore on our own). Sylvie was our tour guide and she was absolutely wonderful. We learned soo much from Vincent, Sylvie and the local vintners about the Burgundy wines. Can’t do it justice here. Sylvie did a great job of spacing out the three wineries. We stopped for lunch (not included in the tour) at a local restaurant on a farm, Relais Du Grepissot. It was wonderful. Everything was so fresh. XOXO to Sylvie! On our third day, we did enjoy the Saturday food market in the walled village of Beaune. The fresh produce, roasted chickens, cheeses (which we brought back for lunch) was the best experience. The last night, we had dinner at a restaurant at the top of the hill, Le Bon Accueil. Sylvie and Vincent helped us with the reservation and the food was very good. Vincent and Lisa did a great job of explaining about the wineries, their property, the Burgundy region (food and wines) and hosting the guests. Overall, a wonderful experience and very good location. Tips: *Breakfast is an additional charge of 15€ per person and includes fresh breads, pastries, cheeses and meats, along with juice and coffee/tea. If you need an early start, you may want to do breakfast on your own in town. *There are 1- or 2-day wine tours available to reserve in advance. They are a full-day each, with a stop for lunch (additional fee). *Basic amenities available in the cottages (including blow dryer). Body wash is provided, and also the shampoo; if you prefer, bring your own shampoo/conditioner. *As in most hotels these days, towels are re-used (environment-friendly), unless daily change requested; as well as trash pick-up in the cottages. *Washer/dryer (one unit) available; no dishwasher (but believe one is coming!) *Would suggest a car to get to Beaune (maybe 5 mt. drive); walking to town is about 15-20 minute walk; however, it’s uphill going home and no lights on the roads, so dark at night)
