These bars are the perfect place to meet up for a drink after work, share an aperitif with friends or enjoy a romantic tête-à-tête. They’re the ideal setting for trying out a good bottle of wine while nibbling on local specialties
And there’s no shortage of fantastic wine bars dotted across the Burgundy region! Here’s a quick round-up of four venues well worth a visit.
The village of Coulanges-la-Vineuse on the Yonne Vineyard Trail is home to the Bar de Terroir du Domaine du Clos du Roi, where you can treat yourself to the 100% local menu for a 100% scrumptious experience. Platters of charcuterie and regional cheeses, hand-crafted terrines and other delicacies are served alongside a selection of juices, local wines and beers. All the ingredients come together so you can savour the essence of Burgundy to your heart’s content in this warm and cosy setting!
Further south, on the Grands Crus Trail in the delightful village of Vosne-Romanée, the Cuverie hosts a delicatessen, cafe and wine-tasting cellar under one roof. No less than 1,700 organic and biodynamic wines can be enjoyed by the glass. Feeling peckish? Light meals showcasing the expertise of neighbouring producers are also served on the spot.
Wine O'Clock - part tea room, part bistro, part wine bar - has emerged as the favourite haunt for foodies passing through Autun! There are so many good reasons to stop off in this little haven dedicated to Epicureans: drink a coffee on the terrace, savour a glass of organic wine in the shaded garden or indulge in the day’s special platter of carefully-selected local products.
As for the Jura, the Bec Bunsen in Arbois is first and foremost a place made for sharing a good time together. With its intimate upstairs room, handsome vaulted cellar in the basement and spacious terrace, it’s a watering hole that has everything to satisfy lovers of fine food. And then there’s a variety of local craft beers to complement an extensive selection of wines from the region and further afield. You’ll find a tasty assortment of dishes and tapas made from fresh, local produce for the most delicious food and wine pairings.
No matter which bar you opt for, the best of Burgundy’s wine and fine-dining will speak for themselves!
