LOCATIONS & WINERIES
from the Bourgogne episode
HOSPICES DE BEAUNE
Beaune is a great home base as you explore the Bourgogne region, and one of your first stops should definitely be the beautiful Hospices de Beaune, a historic hospital complex founded in the 1400s but today operates as a museum noted for its Burgundian-Flemish architecture.
CITÉ DES CLIMATS
Bourgogne has not one, but 3 Cité des Climats for you to visit, with locations in Beaune, Chablis, and Mâcon. Any one of them would be a great way to start your trip into this region by learning a bit before you venture out! And in the restaurant, I met Laurent and Jeanne Delaunay, who make some incredible wines. Make sure to visit their winery in Nuit-Saint-Georges!
ALAIN HESS
The best cheese shop in Bourgogne, Fromagerie Alain Hess is a must stop; make sure to get some epoisse cheese, the funky local cheese of the Bourgogne region! And of course, grab some Paul Chollet Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling wine!
L'AUBERGE DU VIEUX VIGNERON
Man, this was an amazing meal a winemaker/restaurateur Jean-Charles Fagot's quaint, homey spot. Make sure to try his wine, and get the sweetbreads if you're feeling adventurous!
FAMILLE GROSSOT
Chablis is one of my personal favorite areas of Bourgogne because the wines are so crisp, clean, and unique. Stop into the tiny underground tasting room to have a few glasses with Eve or her father and prepare to be blown away!
TERROIRS BY ADELINE
An experience with Adeline is a MUST book on your trip to the region. She offers tours as well as cooking classes and has access to a ton of properties and wines that you could never get a hold of otherwise!
The wines we had in this scene were Millebuis and they were great! They are a co-op from Côte Chalonnaise, which means a group of winemakers who work together to produce wine under a single label.
ATHENAEUM
This is the most fun you'll ever have at a bookstore. All wine and food books, plus a wine shop as well in case you need to stock up!
DOMAINE SÈVE
The Chardonnays from Domaine Sève will be some of the best you'll ever have in your life. Take a trip to the southern part of Bourgogne to do a tasting with Antoine, overlooking a gorgeous view!
LA MOUTARDERIE EDMOND FALLOT
No trip to Beaune is complete without visiting this iconic mustard factory. Take a tour, and then go wild at the shop and tasting bar!
CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
The village of Chassagne-Montrachet is one of the many iconic villages in the Côte d'Or, filled with local producers, quaint shops, and cozy restaurants. This is the town where all our producers from our final tasting scene were from, listed below!
ROCK OF SOLUTRÉ
At almost 500 meters tall, this remarkable ancient rock formation is right next to Domaine Sève, and if you're a hiker, is worth a climb to the top!
