Where to Go in the Burgundy Region?
Located in the heart of France, Burgundy’s many towns and villages retain the authenticity and charm that comes from being off the full blown tourist trail. Our favourite locations are Beaune, Dijon, and Auxerre, three of Burgundy’s most enchanting destinations, each offering a unique glimpse into the region’s rich history and culture.
Beaune is renowned for its old-world charm and the iconic Hôtel-Dieu, a 15th-century hospital that is now a museum. Dijon, the historic capital of the Duchy of Burgundy, boasts elegant architecture, cobblestone streets, and the prestigious Musée des Beaux-Arts. Auxerre invites visitors to explore its medieval core, with the impressive Cathédrale Saint-Étienne and its timber-framed houses. Together, these towns encapsulate the essence of Burgundy’s heritage, cuisine, and wine-making tradition.
Highlights of Burgundy
Measuring around the same size as Belgium, Burgundy can be hard to get a handle on. So it’s easiest to think of it in terms of its distinct sub-regions, arranged in a narrow strip running south from Dijon. To learn more about this iconic wine region, take a look at our Burgundy wine guides below.
Burgundy's Wine Regions
Starting in the north, Chablis is known almost exclusively for its exceptional dry white wines made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Just to the south, the Côte de Nuits is home to Clos Vougeot, Gevrey-Chambertin and some of the finest red Burgundies in the whole region. In the Côte de Beaune, you can taste some of the greatest white Burgundies from places like Pulingy-Montrachet, Chassange Montrachet and Mersault. But we’ll leave it to you to decide whether you prefer these to those from Chablis.
To the very south of Burgundy lie the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais. Both are known for producing somewhat cheaper reds and whites, but can still surprise with some truly excellent wines.
