Burgundy

Home to one of the most refined and prestigious wine regions of the world, Burgundy is a wine-lover’s delight. The area is punctuated with cellars and museums dedicated to oenological pursuits, making it the perfect destination to stop, indulge and soak up one of the most internationally celebrated symbols of French culture. Sample the grands crus of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, as well as the local sparkling crémant, before pairing these tastings with the best that the region’s chefs have to offer—whether in quaint rural inns or the grand restaurants of Dijon, the regional capital. Burgundy offers a calm, bucolic setting for such an adventure, with its rippling vineyards and scenic villages topped with roofs of intricately coloured, patterned tiles—a beautiful feature of the local architecture that dates back to the 13th century.
