The picturesque French town of Beaune is located in the center of Burgundy, surrounded by villages bearing world famous names prized by wine lovers such as Volnay, Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet and Vosne-Romanee. These fabled names also adorn the labels of the wines that line the numerous shops, tasting rooms and wine bars occupying Beaune's tiny streets.

Burgundy is one of France's most highly touted wine regions, full of collectable wines from ancient estates. Centrally located Beaune is the perfect place to immerse yourself in an exploration of these legendary wines, which are predominantly made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, along with a smattering other grapes such as Gamay (in Beaujolais) and Aligoté.
