My favorite part??? Everything!!! This was a long-anticipated trip to Burgundy with family and friends to celebrate my wife's birthday (a big one ending in a zero), and this tour was the highlight of our week. While the agenda was perfect, our guide, Thomas was superb, and really made our day. What a great combination of knowledge, wit, personality, and professionalism! We got a history lesson, a wine lesson, a geography lesson, and more wine lessons. The day could not have been better. The tour included stops at 3 wineries and a very good lunch with very nice wine pairings. Thomas included a couple of "detours" so that we fully understood the region. To me, Burgundy is a bit difficult for most people to understand, but our group left feeling like they had learned a lot, and in a couple of cases, began to really understand the wines of the region. Thanks Authentica and a very special thank you to Thomas. I might add that Thomas's English skills are excellent, making communication easy, we also learned that he speaks 6 1/2 languages; that's 5 1/2 more that we have mastered.
