The post above is a bit puzzling, as there is no night train from Dijon to Antibes.
I would take an early train on the 20th, as the afternoon of the 18th is enough to see Dijon and you have the 19th for a wine tour.
First class is nicer, but not a must. I typically take it when it's no more than 10-20% more expensive (pricing varies). Most important thing to me, is to pick a seat that is not around a table of four, especially in second class, because these are quite tight. SNCF website and app let you pick a seating arrangement.
There is a cafe bar on the TGV trains with decent choice but you might find it better to pack a sandwich and some snacks. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Depends how early you decide to leave (if it's very early you might struggle finding somewhere to get snacks), and how long your connections will be.

Upper deck has much nicer views, I recommend it for visitors. Downsides are that it's busier because the cars connect between each other through the upper deck, and that it sways a bit more if you have motion sickness (Personally, I can't work on a computer for very long upstairs, whereas it's not a problem downstairs).

Hey Balso the last train departs at 21:52 from Dijon to Antibes. I am a bit puzzled that you did not review the links I posted above before commenting. The train schedule clearly stated it.

First & last trains:

First train departs at 05:40 (Morning)

Last train departs at 21:52 (Evening)

According to SNCF website - which I assume to be the final word on French trains - the last train from Dijon to Antibes on Sept 20 leaves at 17:52 and arrives in Antibes at 00:46. But that train has 2 changes and wouldn't be my first choice. Actually I would choose the one direct train that day - leaves at 16:20 and arrives at 22:20. According to the website that is also the cheapest priced tickets that day which would also sway me in that direction. Here's the schedule.

That old night train still makes the mail run—flee. I used to get a nasty cold every time I took one of those. Nancy’s option of a direct train is excellent. And though food may be listed as offered, we’ve run into dining cars “exceptionally “ closed many, many times. So grabbing something from one of the stands in the station to take with you would be wise.
The train will slow down after Marseille as the tracks can’t handle high speed. If you are seated facing forward on the right/starboard side, you’ll have the best views. First class offers single seats if you don’t want to share a double seat.

Hey.... You guys are GREAT!

Merci beaucoup,
