BURGHOUND VINEYARD/EDUCATION TOURS

29 JUNE – 2 JULY 2026 (Côte de Nuits) and 6 JULY – 9 JULY 2026 (Côte de Beaune)

After our incredibly successful 2024 inaugural tour, followed by two sold-out tour programs in 2025, we are again organizing two intimate programs to dive deep into the vineyards and terroirs of Burgundy. Hosted by Allen, Erica and Christopher Meadows, this 3 1/2-day program focuses on learning from the “roots up” in both the vineyard and masterclass-style settings. Being in the vineyards gives burg lovers a greater appreciation for and understanding of what makes the wines what they are – and about the terroirs that are expressed in each glass of burgundy. Due to our statement of principles (where we don’t ask domaines for favors), we will not be visiting domaines to taste – this trip is focused on in-depth education and time in the vineyards. Limited to 15 participants for each tour.

BURGHOUND IN ASIA

April 2026

We are excited to return to SHANGHAI, TOKYO and BANGKOK for a series of always extraordinary events organized by our colleagues at The Fine Wine Experience.  2025 marked Allen’s first return to Japan since he lived there as a child, and he is looking forward to a more expanded program in Tokyo in 2026.  It’s a great time for us to meet with subscribers,  Burgundy enthusiasts and collectors.  And Bangkok has become one of our favorite destinations and we truly enjoy our time with so many incredibly passionate Burgundy collectors. And we are particularly excited to be returning to Shanghai, where The Fine Wine Experience recently opened their new Shanghai boutique.  You don’t have to wait for us to get there to visit the shop, located in the lively Jing’an commercial area.  The beautifully designed 1,000 sq. ft. space provides an inviting atmosphere where you can explore a wide range of exceptional wines.  The opening of this shop marks another milestone in TFWE’s long presence in China, with a fine portfolio of several dozen mainland China wine agencies, centered on Burgundy and Champagne.  It’s a great place to browse, chat with their team, attend their events, enjoy some wine on the spot, purchase wines, and to expand your own wine knowledge.  And in April of 2026, it will be a place to visit with Allen and Erica Meadows and attend one or more events.  You don’t have to wait for us to arrive to visit the new shop. You can drop in anytime in the next few weeks!   Address:  1/F, No.142, Yongyuan Road, Shanghai – 上海市静安区永源路142号1楼 – Red Note: TFWE凡荟 | WeChat: TFWE凡荟 – Open 12:00 – 24:00 | Monday – Sunday

THESE EVENTS SELL OUT QUICKLY, so be sure to contact:   events@finewineexperience.com with any questions and to get on their direct information list.  Please note that Burghound is not involved in ticket sales or reservations for any events.
