July 9 - 11, 2023 - 2 nights in the Burgundy Wine Region

5 Star Hotel Le Cep Beaune 
Unlike Bordeaux where the typical winery is a medium-sized operation set around a grand chateau, in Burgundy, wineries are usually very small and less used to receiving visitors.  Needless to say, visiting these types of wineries is a completely different experience and takes a bit of getting used to. Explore the town of Beaune at your leisure between winery visits and a visit to the Hospices de Beaune.
