A lifestyle worth sharing

The quintessential, acclaimed winemaker, Sébastien Marquet, possesses deep roots in the heart of Burgundy. His "Joie De Vivre", mixed with his warm and genuine nature, and his ability to demystify the complexities of wine, and winemaking make him a natural teacher. He has the ability to inspire people from all walks of life. No doubt, being from Burgundy must have something to do with his way. The wine culture runs deep through the veins of those born there. It is so engrained in the makeup of each day, that it essentially becomes a visceral part of the life of every citizen. The Burgundy lifestyle, interwoven with wholesome food, wine, family and friends, is an intrinsic element of Sébastien’s very being: his Burgundy Roots.

Combined with my background in art, love of history, and travel, the lifestyle we share makes for a perfect recipe to explore the different wine regions of the world. And so years ago (2009), Sébastien and I thought it a fun idea to take a few of our winery clients and friends to Burgundy. As a native, and a winemaker, we would gain a back door access to the places we'd visit, and my ability to creatively curate a week long study of the region, its history, and culture seemed like a natural enough offering for us to create. The Burgundy Experience was born!

We ventured off on our first Burgundy Experience in 2010. The trip was a smash. We all had a wonderful time. Strong bonds were created with the participants, we connected with Burgundian wine industry friends, saw amazing sights, tasted awesome wines, enjoyed delicious food, and visited unique vineyards, chateaux, and domaines. Our experience was positive on many different levels, so much so, that we wanted to continue to share the Burgundy lifestyle with others. We decided to do it again, and again, and again. Each planned experience evolved with its own wonderful surprises, anecdotes, laughter, and joyful moments. 2023 marks our 7th Burgundy Experience to date. We invite you to explore this site, and see what we have planned for the Burgundy Experience 2023.

Come with us, meet the people, drink their wine, and live the Burgundy Lifestyle!

See you in Burgundy,

Isabelle
