We’re taking you on a real educational treat in Beaune, a tailor-made programme for a gourmet connoisseur such as yourself: the Tour of the 5 Senses by Maison Bouchard Aîné et Fils.

So it's off to the heart of Beaune, and more precisely the Hôtel du Conseiller du Roy and the prestigious cellars of your host for the day. Hearing, smell, touch, sight and taste: all your senses will be called upon during this original workshop. The aim? To add words to sensations and understand the special characteristics of Bourgogne’s terroir. This fun and interactive lesson naturally ends with a commented tasting of the house's wines. While you’re there, make the most of your trip by visiting the maturing cellars owned by a family that has maintained a tradition of winemaking excellence since 1750. The tour costs €13.50.
