If you’re into hearty French food and fabulous wine, then you’re going to love Beaune, France.
Situated in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, Beaune is the perfect base for exploring some of the world’s most prestigious vineyards and wine villages.
But when you’re not out wine tasting, this ridiculously charming town has plenty more to offer…
Inside Beaune’s medieval ramparts, you’ll find the spectacular Hôtel-Dieu (Hospices de Beaune), a bustling Saturday market worth planning your entire trip around, centuries-old wine cellars, quaint town squares, mustard shops, and the coziest Burgundian bistros.
I’ve been to Beaune twice now. After my recent trip – which involved cellar tours, e-biking through the vineyards along the Route des Grands Crus, long lunches, mustard-tasting, lots of Époisses cheese (merci beaucoup!), and some of the most delicious wines I’ve ever tasted – Beaune has officially become my favorite town in France.
In my Beaune travel guide, I’m sharing the best things to do in Beaune, the Beaune wine tours you cannot skip, my favorite restaurants, the best hotels, and my exact 3-day Beaune itinerary.
