From now to early September, a particular magic takes over Burgundy. Long lunches, vineyard picnics and evenings spent lingering over exceptional wine give way to the bustle of the harvest, as a new vintage begins its journey from vine to cellar. Here are four late summer highlights.
Go Deeper Into Burgundy's Wine Culture with Iconic Experiences
On half- or full-day excursions, you can explore the distinguished Chardonnay vineyards of the Côte de Beaune or the legendary Pinot Noir terroirs of the Côte de Nuits. Along the way, you’ll discover historic wine houses and prestigious cellars, meet local producers and gain a deeper appreciation of the terroir and traditions that shape each wine.
Take a Cooking Class at Le Montrachet
Join our team at Le Montrachet restaurant, for a culinary experience inspired by the season's finest ingredients. This hands-on cooking class will transform local discoveries into a seasonal meal.
Cycle Through Vineyards
COMO Le Montrachet’s Wine Country Cycling experience takes guests through the heart of the Côte de Beaune on a relaxed guided half- or full-day e-bike tour, winding past vineyard-covered hillsides, stone villages and renowned Grand Cru sites. Along the way, you'll stop at a local winery for a private tour and tasting, while enjoying sweeping vineyard views.
Wander Village Markets
Beaune's famous Saturday market overflows with cherries, apricots, peaches, local cheeses and Burgundian specialities. On Sundays, nearby Chagny draws producers selling everything from Charolais beef and free-range poultry to artisan breads and regional cheeses. For a quieter experience, Meursault's Friday village market offers a charming snapshot of local life and the perfect excuse for a vineyard picnic.
