Hospices de Beaune

 

EXPLORE

Come celebrate with us as we enjoy the Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction week with unique events only experienced during this special time in November. We begin the week with visits to some of the most famous wineries in the Cote d'Or - Domaine Lafarge and Comte Georges de Vogué. The week includes not only exclusive tastings, but also a number of special events - like Michelin starred dining at the Hostellerie de Levernois, a vineyard comparison tasting of a special Burgundy appellation and dinner with a private chef at the Gambal's home. We will taste the new wines of 2017 with winemaker Alex Gambal- learning what to look for as we gear up for the 157th charity wine auction from the Hospices de Beaune cellars. Many trips by Hidden France guests have included successful bidding on barrels of wine. Will you go home with one?
