A truly lovely walk, fun and educational, with Céline, who tells the story of the vine with great passion and wonderfully interesting explanations. My children, aged 4 and 6, loved the route.
Aurélia T.· with the family
Fascinating, an absolute must for understanding the richness of Burgundy. Céline is more than happy to share her immense knowledge of her beautiful region.

who am I

Born between a vine and a barrel

You could say your guide fell into the barrel when she was little.

After a few years spent working in wine cellars and wine sales, then in wine tourism, I created my own wine estate in Champagne. Finally, I came back to my roots, to Santenay, the village of my childhood, where I founded Sur les pas du vigneron.
