Burgundy wine and food
The Burgundy wine of Chablis and Beaune, Nuits-St-Georges and Mâcon is world famous.
Lovers of French food will also enjoy regional specialities that include cheese, Charolais beef, mustard sauces, blackcurrants and escargots. Visit the markets and fine shops, go wine tasting, tour a vineyard and try out Burgundy delicacies such as Boeuf Bourguignon and Gougères.
It’s a taste of the real France!
