Every year, the ODG des Vins de Beaune organizes the Saint Vincent de Beaune event. On Saturday March 23, the event will take place at the Musée du Vin, in the Hôtel des Ducs de Bourgogne. A day of tastings of Beaune wines by Beaune's wine houses and estates. Baptiste Guyot presides over the Saint Vincent de Beaune and the ODG of the Beaune appellation, which, with its 415 ha, deserves to be better known. A Beaune permit has been created as a 40-question quiz, to give a broad idea of what wine is, and to better understand this appellation, which is the largest in the Côte d'Or.

Since 1996, on the fourth weekend of October, the winegrowers of Auxey-Duresses organise - via the winegrowers' union of this winegrowing village located a stone's throw from Beaune - a big festival called Coup d'oeil, Coup de Coeur. The principle is simple: about twenty professionals open their doors to the public for a walk through the vineyards (this is the Coup d'oeil). A good opportunity to discover the local wines but also to appreciate some gourmet specialities and admire some craft exhibitions. It's a guaranteed "Coup de Coeur"!

Le Temps des Chevaux is an itinerant dinner show that brings together draught horse breeder Éric Coupé and stage director Denis Hubleur. Their program revisits the relationship between horses and people in Burgundy. More than a historical show, l'instant is a plunge into the daily life of our ancestors, who couldn't work the land without the draught horse. In association with chef Guillaume Royer, they invite visitors to discover dishes concocted with seasonal and local produce.

A few surprises and a return to basics for this event which will take place in Gevrey-Chambertin on June 24.

It's the kind of event you like to stumble across on the streets of Dijon. Every year, for a weekend in June, the Rhineland-Palatinate House blocks off the Rue Buffon for a giant open-air festival. For this ^26th edition, fans of German beers and delicatessen delicacies from across the Rhine will be catered for with dedicated stands. The Franco-German center also offers visitors the chance to discover German wine and pastries. A variety of musical groups and entertainment for young and old alike will ensure a good time!
