A myriad of cellars to visit and wine tasting tours are offered to discover this gem.To avoid the tourist traps, we personally made a selection amongst the various wineries to offer only the worthy one.

However, Beaune is much more than its delicious wine, the town has a rich history as well as a great architectural heritage. The town is a mingle of different architectural periods ranging from Roman times, medieval, Renaissance up to the modern architecture.

The main sites to visit in Beaune are its stunning Hospices de Beaune with its colored roof, its Halles, the clock tower Beffroi and its Basilica Notre Dame.

For the gourmets, we can offer you a truffles hunt followed by a delicious rewarding lunch made of truffles from starter to dessert.
