Under the wing of the Guardian Angel, and in a relaxed atmosphere come and taste Burgundy wines with friends or family. You will be able to sit and enjoy learning a lot about wines, "terroir" and Tradition with Pierre and Nicole. You will also find gourmet regional produces and dishes prepared in Burgundy, foies gras... This place is special. You will not only pass by, you will lounge around .

La Cave de l'Ange Garden is easy to find in Beune. We walked in and were greeted by a gentleman who inquired at what time was our appointment. Naturally, we had none but graciously he asked if we could return later because he had an opening for an English session in late afternoon. We thanked him for his hospitality and said we would return. Upon entering the tasting room a table complete with note paper and glasses was tastefully set. Our group of eight was from Switzerland and spoke English, my wife was the only female. We were entertained and enlightened onevery aspect of wine, from the meaning of color, the 'legs' of wine on glass, the difference of smell from the left nostril to right. I know this sounds tiresome! But it was not! We were fascinated and there was no shortage of laughter. In all, for 10 euro this was the best afternoon of our Burgundy trip. If you are in Beaune go BUT make an appointment.

In the last decade of the 19th century, Léonce Bocquet, owner of the famous Château du Clos de Vougeot and the surrounding 52 ha., decided to build huge vinification and maturation cellars for the wines of his various Domaines. The achievement of this project was entrusted to Albert Suisse, professor at the Art School. Cellars of an area of 2400 m2 and 6 meters high under the vault were finally constructed in 8 years. The building covering it shows red bricks and grey stones on the façade and a roof made of slate. An engraved stone bears the inscription “1888”, date of the completion of the work. When Henri de VIllamont purchased this magnificent building in 1964, the aim was to perpetuate this gigantic work: our prestigious wines are matured in these vaulted cellars and bottles in a special “antique” tinted glass.

The sommelier was friendly and accommodating to our visiting group of 4. Our wine tasting "fee" could be spent towards bottles of wine to take home, so the the tastings were essentially free. We really enjoyed the range of wines on offer and were suprised at how good the sparkling was!

The Hôtel-Dieu is a former hospital founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, and his wife, Guigone de Salins. It is only when you step into the main courtyard that you see the flamboyant roof with varnished tiles, a shining symbol of ducal Burgundy and now world famous. A classified historical monument : Take an audioguide and let Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins walk you through the unique history and day to day life of the Hôtel-Dieu, from the 15th century to the present day! Their crowning achievement, this richly endowed hospital fondation, stays true to their original mission and still provides care for the sick. Museum / Cultural shop / Prestigeous area to hire out

Took the tour of the museum, here in this small and charming town. The building is well preserved, stunning, painted roof tiles, a lovely courtyard and replicas of the hospice inside the museum. Very interesting how people were cared for, after a war, the sleeping areas, medical treatment and kitchen can all be seen in the museum.

Maison Louis Jadot has opened the doors of its cellars, located at 62 route de Savigny, Beaune, to private customers. This space allows wine lovers the opportunity to taste the wines currently available on the market and to buy bottles to take away. The idea is to offer our customers a tailor-made visiting experience.It's an opportunity to rediscover our classics', but also to unearth wines from lesser-known appellations and older vintages - or even to buy bottles of grand cru wines from our limited stock. there will be something to please every palate.

Louis Jadot wines have been my favorites for years and getting to visit them for a tasting was a dream come true! The tour was given by a personable and informative staff member. It was very interesting and we were given tastings of 8 lovely and reasonably priced wines (4 whites, 4 reds). You do need to contact the winery in advance to reserve a spot, and their tours start at 3pm. The winery is about a 20 minute walk from old town but they do have parking so you can drive if you have a car. Worth the trip!
