Marché aux Vins
Marché aux Vins, Beaune
In the cellars of a former Franciscan church, you can taste a dozen-plus Burgundy wines from silver tasting cups, moving from village wines all the way up to grand crus.
The Marché aux Vins occupies an old church opposite the Hospices de Beaune, together with the vaulted cellars beneath it. On entry, you receive a traditional silver tasting cup (tastevin) and then sample more than ten red and white wines along the dimly lit cellars. Depending on the package, you may taste premier cru or grand cru wines. Tickets cost about 20–40 euros, no reservation is needed, and the visit takes about one hour. Beaune also has the cellars of long-established négociants such as Patriarche, Bouchard and Joseph Drouhin, which can be visited. Choose one or two to explore in depth.
