Charming Villages

Burgundy Village by Village

Around Château la Commaraine, Burgundy reveals itself through a mosaic of elegant villages, cobbled lanes, old churches, family estates, and vineyard landscapes. From Volnay to Meursault, Aloxe-Corton to Puligny-Montrachet, each stop reveals a distinct atmosphere: here a bell tower overlooking the vines, there a hidden cellar, further on a hill offering a view over the Côte de Beaune. These villages invite you to take your time, between strolling, tasting, and contemplation.

Wine lovers will appreciate the routes that pass through Burgundy's great names: Vosne-Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Santenay, Rully, or Mercurey. Elegant Pinot Noirs, world-renowned Chardonnays, legendary Grands Crus, or sparkling wines from the Côte Chalonnaise make for a flavorful route, punctuated by meetings with winemakers and intimate tastings. On request, a private guided tour of Dijon, Beaune, and their surroundings can also be arranged around markets, local specialties, and the finest gourmet addresses.

For a more heritage-focused escapade, Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, Semur-en-Auxois, or Flavigny-sur-Ozerain offer a plunge into medieval Burgundy, between ramparts, castles, stone bridges, old gates, and artisan workshops. Depending on the desired pace, these discoveries can be experienced as a short stroll, a half-day, or a more complete itinerary built around villages, landscapes, gourmet stops, and everyone's wishes.

A charming escapade to compose as you wish: a perched village, a cobbled lane, an open cellar, a lively market...
