Just a few yards from the Hospices de Beaune, Sensation Vin offers discovering of Burgundy wine, between the more than capable hands of Céline Dandelot and Damien Delattre.

No need to worry whether they’re up to the task: Céline is a skilled professional and Damien directed the Bourgogne École des Vins for fifteen years or so. They now specialise in wine courses for all levels, lasting anything from 90 minutes to two days. Over the past couple of years, our two partners have been running special courses, one on Côtes de Nuit (tasting ten reds), and the other on Côtes de Beaune (seven whites and three reds). Both programmes include an educational tour in the field so you can savour the terroir in person. One last thing: you can also book a one-day course for just the pair of you. In fact, adaptability is Céline’s and Damien’s forte — simply tell them what your requirements are before you arrive.
