We are John and Penelope and are delighted to welcome you to Number 8. Having owned and run a vineyard for many years, we provide our clients with a real inside knowledge of the wines, the winemakers and everything that makes Burgundy such a mecca for wine lovers. We can offer private wine tours and tastings for clients staying at Number 8 and also offer a take home service where you can taste and buy wines to take home or direct to your door. We came to Burgundy to expand our wine merchant business and to offer an all round wine experience for our customers. Penelope is also an interior designer and so renovating and developing Number 8 was a perfect project. . We think you will find it difficult to find a more genuine and homely Burgundy wine experience. We live in a neighbouring property with our son and mad Max the springer spaniel. We look forward to welcoming you and helping to create a magical stay in Burgundy.
