Wine

Wines from the Region

Burgundy is one of the largest wine regions in France. Most white wines are made from Chardonnay and Aligoté grapes. The red wines are produced from Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes (mainly for Beaujolais). The Burgundy wine region is divided into five districts. From north to south, these are Chablis, the Côte d’Or, the Chalonnais, the Mâconnais and finally Beaujolais.

You can explore the wine region by car or on foot. In both Auxerre and Beaune, the local tourist offices have mapped out wine walks. These walks through the vineyards are also known as “Randonnées de Vignoble.” Be surprised by the magnificent views over the beautiful vineyards of Burgundy.
