Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy, whose Hospices wine auction in autumn is world famous. The treasure of the town is undoubtedly its Hotel-Dieu.
Founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of the Dukes of Burgundy, it is emblematic of the hospital heritage of the region: a true palace of the poor, it is the most eloquent example of Flemish Burgundy art. Its multi-coloured roofs are famous.
The Polyptych of the Last Judgement, commissioned from the painter Rogier van der Weyden, remains the jewel of the collections.
Hospices tour with audio-guide
Tour of the cellars. We invite you to discover the Caves du Patriarche.
A former Ursuline convent, this place is full of history. You will discover part of this labyrinth of more than 5km of vaulted galleries dating back to the 13th century, and home to millions of bottles.
A magical place, truly timeless, which sums up the marriage of wine and culture.
After a warm welcome from a sommelier, you can discover these exceptional cellars before starting a tasting of five great appellations from our Burgundy vineyards: 2 whites, a Meursault and a Montagny 1er Cru; 3 reds: Mercurey 1er Cru, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru and Beaune 1er Cru.

We organise an unforgettable experience for you to enjoy in the heart of Burgundy’s wine culture.
On an estate close to Beaune, you will be welcomed by a vineyard professional who will take you for a walk through the vineyards of his estate. He will explain all about Burgundy’s growing conditions and “climats” (vine-growing parcels), which are listed as World Heritage by Unesco, the classification of wines and the work in the vineyards and of the winemakers.
Your visit continues in the estate’s cellars. The tasting session provides an opportunity to explain all about the harvest, fermentation, barrel ageing and bottling.
The sommelier-winemaker will answer any questions you might have been wondering about!!
Then it’s time to take your place for a tasting lunch in the estate’s dining quarters.
This provides an opportunity to taste pairings of food and wine.
Example of provisional menus:
Bavarian tomatoes, fresh goat’s cheese, basil and crouton tapenade
Duckling leg confit with stir-fry vegetables
Selection of regional cheeses
Cherry clafoutis
The wines served are from the estate and are presented by the sommelier during lunch.
You can then return to our coach and discover villages with names which evoke delicious drinks along the Route des Grands Crus: Puligny Montrachet, Meursault, Pommard, Pernand-Vergelesses, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin...
Next, visit the famous Château du Clos de Vougeot
Today, this château is the emblem of the wine region for all visitors and wine lovers around the world. For it is here in amongst the vineyards that, in the twelfth century, the monks of Citeaux Abbey built a vat room and a storeroom.
