Rando Noz gourmande & Fest noz begins as a community walk organised around Saint Joseph School in Crach, with food breaks placed along the route. The evening shifts into fest-noz, where Tam Glaz anchors the gathering in Breton dance music. Hiking, shared tables and circle-dance culture meet in a format that feels rural, sociable and closely tied to local school life.

Pains Vins Fromages Tasting Salon
Wine producers, artisan breads and cheeses fill the Halles de Beaune for Pains Vins Fromages. The tasting pairs wines from several vineyards with five cheese plates, highlighting cheeses from Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Tourism students from Lycée Clos Maire organise the salon and welcome guests at the stands, with a tasting glass included in admission.
Pinot Noir Côte de Beaune Tasting
Domaine Loubet-Dewailly’s Discovery session uses a horizontal tasting to compare Pinot Noir across the Côte de Beaune. Burgundy red, Maranges, Beaune Premier Cru Les Epenottes and Pommard Premier Cru Les Grands Epenots are placed side by side, keeping the grape and harvest consistent while the appellations change. That structure directs attention toward differences between neighbouring terroirs while minimizing the effects created by bottle age. Five generations of family winegrowing inform the comparison, served at the domaine’s cellar near Beaune’s Hospices and Collégiale Notre-Dame. Guests can order other estate wines by the glass, while gougères, charcuterie, cheese or aligot provide regional accompaniments. The central exercise remains a close reading of red Burgundy through place, with each neighbouring appellation given room to show its own character.
Domaine Besancenot Wine Sale Tasting
Domaine Besancenot draws on six generations of Beaune winemaking for a tasting of two white and four red wines. Chorey-les-Beaune and Beaune Premier Cru Les Cent Vignes feature among the whites, with Clos du Roi and Grèves among the reds. Each tasting includes gougères and an engraved glass, pairing the estate’s Burgundian wines with a regional cheese pastry.
Burgundy Wine Tasting Day
This Burgundy tasting day begins with the practice of looking, smelling and tasting white wines, reds and Crémant de Bourgogne. Wine storage, service and food pairings form part of the teaching. A landscape reading in the Grands Crus of the Côte de Beaune follows lunch, before a guided tasting explores terroirs and vintages through the wines in the glass.
Louis Jadot Hospices Cellar Tasting
Maison Louis Jadot marks the Hospices de Beaune wine sale with a visit to its winery and ageing cellars. A tasting of ten wines follows, organised around three themes. The selection brings together the vintage currently maturing, a Hospices de Beaune cuvée and several house classics, keeping the cellar visit closely connected to the wines in the glass.
Loubet-Dewailly Exceptional Tasting
Domaine Loubet-Dewailly brings five generations of Côte de Beaune winegrowing to a guided comparison of two named climats. Estate winemakers present Puligny-Montrachet Les Champs Gains beside Meursault Clos Saint Philibert, using several vintages to examine how site and cellar work shape a single grape variety. The vertical format encourages close attention to differences between the two appellations without separating them from the domaine’s broader range. Tastings take place in the producer’s cellar in Beaune’s historic centre, between the Hospices and the Collégiale Notre-Dame.
Louis Jadot Hospices Special Evening
Maison Louis Jadot marks the Vente des Vins des Hospices de Beaune with a visit to its winery and ageing cellars. A tasting of ten wines follows the cellar tour. The programme continues with dinner at the Couvent des Jacobins, where mature vintages are served; the visit, tasting and meal are all part of the same offer.
Château de Pierreclos Harvest Festival
Château de Pierreclos opens its harvest celebration around the wines and architecture of the historic estate. A sequence of tastings leads visitors from the medieval kitchen to the vaulted cellars, allowing each setting to frame a different part of the château’s wine identity. The selection introduces Mâcon, Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru and Bourgogne Pinot Noir, showing the range of appellations represented by the property. The route directly joins the building to the bottles and places vineyard work, cellar craft and built heritage in the same visit. Light refreshments are available to accompany the tasting, while the relaxed estate format leaves room to compare the wines and their origins. It is a harvest gathering grounded in Pierreclos and the southern Burgundy vineyard landscape.
Loubet-Dewailly Volnay Prestige Tasting
Domaine Loubet-Dewailly’s Prestige session examines Volnay Premier Cru Le Clos des Chênes through a vertical tasting of five vintages. Because every glass comes from the same climat and the same Pinot Noir grape, participants can concentrate on how successive harvests express one Côte de Beaune site. Five generations of Loubet-Dewailly winegrowers provide the cellar context for reading this appellation over time. The domaine stands close to the Hospices and Collégiale Notre-Dame, placing the focused comparison inside Beaune’s historic wine-sale quarter. Visitors can also explore other estate appellations by the glass, while regional foods such as gougères extend the visit into Burgundy’s table culture. The Prestige format keeps one celebrated Volnay climat at the centre of that broader hospitality.
