Experience Burgundy: where the pursuit of happiness is easier (and tastier).
Burgundy is vintage Butterfield & Robinson territory ,your backyard if you will, and we know it better than anyone else. And what a backyard it is! Exquisite biking and walking routes, tailor made for daydreaming. Exceptional wines. Timeless villages. What’s not to love? On a B&R trip you’ll meander through lush vineyards, sip grand crus in the fields where they were conceived, and wander cobblestone streets to find old friends. You’ll dine at some of the region’s best-known establishments and at bistros revered by the locals for their hearty country fare. It’s the only place we know of where fights can erupt over selecting the right vintage to pair with a prized Époisses .
Private Escape in Burgundy
In the middle of Burgundy’s bucolic vineyards lies the beautiful town of Beaune. We’ve crafted the perfect 4-night experience, featuring a stay at the most intimate of accommodations, the Butterfield’s own private residence. It’s the ultimate romantic getaway for two.
To book a magnificent biking or walking tour in Burgundy or any other of the many B&R destinations, just give us a call at 585-624-1285

Unspoiled Puglia – The New Tuscany
6 nights and 7 days
from $1299 per person*
|
An Exceptional travel agent is one who is able to identify an unspoiled destination just when it is ready and able to welcome clients comfortably, but has not yet been invaded by crowds of visitors. First it was Tuscany, then Umbria, followed by the Amalfi Coast. Now Puglia’s time has come! I was fortunate to visit this beautiful area of Italy last spring and just blown away by its beauty and “authentic Italy” feel.
Puglia (sometimes called Apulia) is the region located in the heel of the Italian boot. This strip of land between 2 seas (the Adriatic on the east and the Ionian on the west) is famous for its thousands of century old olive trees surrounded by beautiful dry stone walls; picturesque whitewashed houses and Masserias; ancient cathedrals; medieval and baroque towns.
You can fly into the capital city of Bari where you will pick up your car rental. From the airport, it is an easy drive to the amazing new Luxury Resort and Spa Borgo Egnazia, located a few steps from the Adriatic coastline, near the San Domenico Golf. This is the perfect base from which to explore all the wonderful attractions the region has to offer.
- The town of Alberobello ( a UNESCO World Heritage Site) with its Trulli houses and their cone shaped rooftops.
- The whitewashed villages of Ostuni and Locorotondo
- The historical Baroque cities of Martina Franca and Lecce with their beautiful piazzas and cathedrals
- Polignano a Mare with its sea caves
- The medieval town of Trani and it’s spectacular cathedral
- Matera (another UNESCO World Heritage Site) know for its extraordinary cave dwellings called Sassi
And while you are discovering this still authentic region and its friendly inhabitants,you will surely appreciate the outstanding local foods and wines:
The famed Burrata cheese ; The homemade pasta (ear-shaped Orecchiette) often fresh and served with tomato sauce or broccoli rabe and garlic;“Fave e Cicoria”, a bean puree that accompanies most meals…all this doused with the famous “Primitivo” wine of the region.
* Package Includes:
- 6 nights on bed and breakfast basis at Luxury Resort and Spa Borgo Egnazia in a superior room
- Car rental for one week: Compact, manual, with A/C, unlimited mileage and CDW; Alfa Romeo 147 or similar.
- Welcome drink on arrival
- Welcome dinner (drinks excluded)
(*)Price is per person based on double occupancy. Valid for travel between 09 January – 04 April 2012 and between 05 November – 23 December 2012
Call us for other dates.
For a truly authentic experience (and the same price), stay at the guesthouse Masseria Cimino on Half Board basis (breakfast and dinner) excluding drinks.
CALL US TODAY TO ARRANGE YOUR VACATION IN THIS FABULOUS “NEW” DESTINATION!!! YOU WILL JUST LOVE THIS MAGICAL PLACE.
