Route des Grands Crus

The Route des Grand Crus takes visitors on a journey through the vineyards, villages, history, and culture of Burgundy’s wines. The signposted route meanders through vineyards of pinot noir and chardonnay grapes, leading to treasures like medieval Beaune with its Hôtel-Dieu (Hospices of Beaune), the Château de Clos de Vougeot, and wine-producing villages like Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis.

While visitors can explore the route independently by car or bike, organized tours offer stress-free, round-trip transportation, plus the insights of a knowledgeable guide. Full-day tours typically leave from Beaune, Dijon, or Paris, and travel parts of the route with stops for wine tastings, wine-paired lunches, and sightseeing along the way. Novel options include private excursions by Citroen 2CV and multi-day bike tours including accommodation and meals.
