is burgundy wine tasting worth the hype for solo travelers?
I’ve been dreaming about wandering through the vineyards of Burgundy on my own, glass in hand, soaking up the scenery and the wine. I even spent an hour trying to pronounce 'Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey' correctly, just in case I get lucky enough to score a tasting there. But here’s the thing: every time I look up how to actually visit these famous wineries, it seems like you need to know someone, or book months in advance, or join a group tour that’s mostly couples and honeymooners. I’m not exactly looking to third-wheel my way through wine country!
Has anyone else tried to do Burgundy solo? Did you manage to get into any of the big-name wineries, or did you end up at the touristy spots? I keep hearing that private guides are the way to go, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price or if I’ll just feel awkward tagging along with strangers. And honestly, is the wine really that much better, or am I just falling for the hype? Sometimes I wonder if the whole experience is more about the scenery than the actual tasting. If you’ve been, did you find it magical, or was it more hassle than it was worth?
