We are delighted to welcome you on what promises to be a special experience in Burgundy.

There is so much to discuss, to see, and of course, to taste, this September in Burgundy as you visit during the very exciting moment of harvest. We will gather in storied cellars to hear the tales of this vintage and the varied ones before it. We will discover the magic of living with the seasons and the trials of their unpredictability, and we will delve into the growers’ innovative plans for the future.  

A memorable day awaits and we are eager to share the adventure with you.
