Gourmet Wine Tours To France Feature New Concept In Fine Dining

Dominique Loiseau, wife of the late great Master Chef, Bernard Loiseau, has created a fabulous gastronomic experience with a new concept in fine dining: the luxury of choosing from 70 different premium wines by the glass, ensuring that pairing wine with each gourmet course can be a rich, educational and entertaining adventure without breaking the bank. Small group tours operator Olde Ipswich Tours is offering food and wine tours to France that include this restaurant among the many gastronomic dinners on the 12 day itinerary that begins in Burgundy and ends in Provence.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

After the death of her husband, Master Chef Bernard Loiseau, in 2003, Dominique Loiseau opened Loiseau des Vignes in Beaune, along with two restaurants in Paris, and a 3 Michelin star restaurant in Saulieu, Burgundy. The Loiseau des Vignes uses the state-of-the-art enomatic wine system, which dispenses and preserves a rotating list of 70 premium wines, many famous and otherwise hard-to-find. This enhanced wine tasting experience accompanies the outstanding cuisine prepared by Chef Christophe Quéant, who earned his first Michelin star in 2010. Loiseau says they were the first restaurant in Europe to offer such an extensive wine list, all by the glass.

Small group tours operator Olde Ipswich Tours brings guests to the Loiseau des Vignes every year on one of their wine tours to France. Olde Ipswich Tours owner Jean Moss explains, “This restaurant is a perfect example of what our guests love about our gourmet small group tours. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere divine, and with the wine-by-the-glass option each guest can try several different outstanding wines without having to open all the bottles.”

Moss loves the stylish stone and wood decor of the restaurant, and on warm evenings dinner can be served in the beautiful 16th century courtyard behind the dining room. “And after a leisurely, typically late French dinner, we can walk three steps next door to our hotel,” also owned by Dominique Loiseau, the beautiful Hotel Le Cep.

“The Hotel Le Cep is the most perfect base from which to explore the beautiful Burgundy region on our tours to France,” says Moss. The hotel is a charming, elegant inn dating from the 18th century, set in the heart of the picturesque town of Beaune, wine capital of Burgundy. Beaune is a delight to explore-charming medieval architecture and plenty of history, not to mention dozens of wine shops and restaurants.

Spending three days based in Beaune, guests on Olde Ipswich Tours’ wine tours to France see the sights of Beaune with a local expert guide and take excursions to nearby Dijon and through the surrounding wine regions. The tour also includes two days in Lyon and a week in Provence.
