2025 Annual Star Chefs & Vintners Gala Live Auction Preview

It’s one thing to visit Burgundy. It’s another to experience it like an insider — with personal introductions to legendary winemakers, access to historic cellars, and private dinners in rarefied company.

Wine ambassador Greg Gregory brings years of deep connections and rare expertise to offer you exactly that: a once-in-a-lifetime insider’s journey through the heart of Burgundy.

Four lucky travelers will enjoy:

• Four (4) days and three (3) nights in Beaune, staying at the stunning Maison 1896, a boutique luxury hotel blending artful elegance and modern comfort with historic charm.
• Custom-curated winery visits to legendary domaines — think Leflaive, Dujac, Faiveley, Bonneau du Martray, Roulot, Lafon, Lafarge, or even Clos de Tart.
• Transportation in France for all four days.
• Greg will coordinate every detail, from tastings and tours to lunch and dinner reservations — and will join you as much or as little as you wish.

The Crown Jewel of the Trip: One unforgettable night at the 1243 Bourgogne Society, a private club founded Burgundy legends Bernard Hervet and Olivier Halley. Nestled inside a former convent, this members-only space plays host to Burgundy’s elite collectors. You’ll enjoy dinner prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, rare wines pulled from the Society’s ancient cellars, personally selected and poured by Greg.

And perhaps even the company of a few local proprietors who B.T.O.B. — Brought Their Old Burgundies

Hotel dates subject to availability and are valid through December 2026. Date to be mutually agreed up – airfare not included.
