Travel with us on Your Key to Burgundy Escorted Journeys…
Those traveling on YK2B Escorted Journeys want more than just a trip. They want to learn, to explore, and to understand. In this spirit, every one of our guided excursions includes the following components:
- Subject matter specialists: Meet and travel with chefs, artists, historians, and – of course! – wine specialists, who will share their experience and engage your curiosity.
- Small group experiences: Leave the crowds behind and travel with four to ten others who share your interests.
- Destinations that tell a story: Visit the unique, the culturally rich, and the out-of-the way places that tourists would never find.
- Exclusive access: Experience behind-the-scenes visits to sites and join informal gatherings with locals.
- Pre-excursion preparation: Enjoy an extended relationship in which YK2B offers routine advance planning information, as well as interesting videos and information to help you make the most of your time in Burgundy.
And, in addition to Your Key to Burgundy’s publicly-offered excursions, we can custom-design one just for your group, focused on your specific interests.

An Adventure For Women, About Women!
Carolyn will introduce our group of “Wander-ful” adventurers to women who have played extraordinary roles over the course of Burgundy’s history. From the mysterious Goddess of the river Seine, to a noblewoman in the middle ages with a vision for a hospital to serve the poor, women have for centuries played key roles in the evolution of this beautiful region. This proud tradition continues with the trailblazing women of today, including winemakers, business owners, and others serving in important roles in their communities. Experience the culture, history, cuisine, and wine as we browse local markets, visit inspiring sites, stroll in the golden vineyards, and meet passionate locals who share a zest for life!
A few spaces still remain for this fabulous adventure!
