Home · Hen and stag parties
A hen or stag party that breaks with the clichés: the Burgundy vineyard all to yourselves, with a winegrower who is in on the fun.
the idea
Rather than yet another night out in town, give the bride-to-be or groom-to-be an interlude everyone will remember: a private guided walk through the vines of Santenay, a winegrower's stories that make you laugh and learn, a tasting in the open air and unforgettable photos amid the landscapes of the Climats of Burgundy, 20 minutes from Beaune.
Céline puts the programme together with you, to suit the personality of the star of the day: a discovery version with plenty of laughter, a version for wine lovers, or a challenge version with thedry stone wall workshop in teams.
typical itinerary
Step 1
We meet in Santenay, welcome coffee or first glass, a rundown of the programme and the handing-out of accessories if you have planned some: fancy dress is most welcome here.
Step 2
1h to 2h30 in the vines depending on your package, punctuated by Céline's anecdotes, games and challenges between friends, and the loveliest viewpoints for group photos.
Step 3
In the vines or in a vaulted cellar: guided Burgundy wines for the enthusiasts, grape juice and an alcohol-free version for those who prefer: nobody is left by the wayside.
Prices: from 10€ per person depending on the formula chosen, with an optional tasting. Every group is unique, so Céline prepares a tailor-made quote for you, with no obligation.

before you come
The walk goes ahead in all reasonable weather; in the event of a storm, heavy rain or a heatwave, Céline offers a fallback in the cellar or a new date: the programme adapts, the fun stays.
Of course: grape juice and soft drinks replace wine for anyone who prefers, including mothers-to-be and drivers. Alcohol tasting is for adults only, and always in moderation.
Santenay is 20 minutes from Beaune via the D974 or the A6, and has its own TER railway station. The exact meeting point and parking advice are given when you book.
From small gatherings to large parties: state your numbers in the quote request and Céline adapts the route, the supervision and the tasting.
