Burgundy

A Sensory Journey Through France’s Heartland

Once a powerful duchy, Burgundy remains a region of quiet refinement,

rich in heritage, craftsmanship, and some of the most celebrated wines on earth. From the rolling hills of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune to the stone hamlets of the Côte Chalonnaise and the world-renowned Chablis, this is France at its most authentic. Whether you’re savoring Pinot Noir in a vaulted cellar, walking the cobbled streets of Beaune, or pairing Époisses cheese with a glass of Meursault, Burgundy’s pleasures are deep and refined..

Just a short train or car ride from Paris.
Attainable in 1 hour 30 minutes by high-speed train or about 3 hours by car, Burgundy invites you to slow down, savor, and connect with the rhythm of rural France. It can easily be combined with Champagne or Lyon for a deeper journey through the heart of French art de vivre.

Go beyond the labels.
Meet passionate vintners, discover hidden timeless villages, and connect with artisans who keep tradition alive — every Beaurouge journey blends depth, flavor, and authenticity.

Savor Burgundy, beyond the labels

Vineyards & Villages

Stroll through Beaune, the heart of Burgundy’s wine trade, and Dijon, once the seat of the powerful Dukes. Visit vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Meursault, and Chablis, where every slope and soil tells its own story. Enjoy private tastings in historic châteaux or family-run estates, pairing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with local cheeses and charcuterie.

Heritage & Countryside

Discover landmarks that speak to Burgundy’s proud past — the Hospices de Beaune, the Palace of the Dukes, and the monastic beauty of Vézelay Abbey and Fontenay. Take to the canals by boat, cycle between vineyards, or soar in a hot-air balloon over patchwork fields that have shaped centuries of winemaking tradition.

Experiences That Inspire

From mustard-making workshops and farmers’ markets to cooking classes with a French chef, Burgundy celebrates craftsmanship in every form. Meet local artisans, explore truffle or cheese farms, or celebrate a special occasion in a private château — each experience designed around your passions and pace.

Gastronomy & Lifestyle

Here, meals are slow, soulful, always accompanied by good wine and always memorable. Burgundy holds more Michelin stars per capita than most regions in France, but it’s the rustic auberges that delight with boeuf bourguignon, Époisses cheese, and warm tarts baked with local fruit. Every bite reflects the same devotion to terroir as its wines — deep, expressive, and full of character.
