Sightseeing in Beaune, capital of Burgundy wines
Beaune is without a doubt the capital of the Burgundy vineyard, both in the eyes of wine connoisseurs and fans of this wine town. Not-to-be-missed: the Hospices de Beaune, the Cité des Climats et Vins de Bourgogne, the Fallot Mustard Factory, and of course the unmissable tour of the Caves Patriarche for an unforgettable underground wine tasting. On the flip-side, you can explore the iconic Voie des Vignes cycle route. Children will also have a great time on the kid friendly tours!
48 hours to
Beaune, wine capital of Burgundy
You'll need at least two days to visit the town of Beaune, or even longer if you plan on continuing your exploration in the Côte and Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. The Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne (Burgundy Wine Route) then leads to the east, towards Nuits-Saint-Georges and Dijon or to the south, towards Saône-et-Loire.
What to do
The Hospices de Beaune
This 15th-century hospital with flamboyant Gothic-style architecture and multicoloured roofing, shows the direct connections there once were between Flanders and the Dukes of Burgundy.
Inside, the unmissable rooms are the "Pôvres" room with the famous red canopy beds, the apothecary and the remarkable painting of the Last Judgement by Rogier Van der Weyden.
