Just one trip to Burgundy and you'll be hooked
Taking things slow in the vineyards
If you have the chance to chat to a local winegrower, he will most likely tell you about his childhood memories.
The scent coming from the historic wine cellars filled with barrels. Then it's time for the grape harvest: we've all tasted a grape straight from the vines, but now's your chance to select the best bunches with your secateurs.
Jean-Pierre, Michel, Anne, Jean, … They all work in the same way and are fiercely proud of their profession. They breathe life into their winegrowing estates and never get tired of working these vine plots of Burgundy, the land of people who love their land.
Generations of producers
Enjoyable experiences and encounters at the Maison Auvigue
Jean-Pierre and Michel Auvigue will be delighted to welcome you to their winegrowing estate in southern Burgundy. This is a historic estate since the name Auvigue was, even back then, already well known in the Beaujolais-Mâconnais vineyards.

the must-sees of your journey through the vines
The winegrowing monks have left their mark here, and time has seemingly stood still in the wine cellars. The winegrowing history has been written into the stone, wood and earth, creating a dialogue between nature and the various periods throughout history.
The Route des Grands Crus
Whether you prefer Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, the ultimate experience for fans of Burgundy wines is, of course, the Route des Grands Crus (Route of the Great Wines).
You'll remember these landscapes for a long time. They are so exceptional that it comes as no surprise that this vineyard is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
We strongly recommend that you take a souvenir photo back home with you of the horses working this ancient land, and, of course, the obligatory selfie in the vines at sunset.

Really experience the vineyard
Journey through the vines on two wheels or in a van
To explore the Burgundy vineyards, why not try something a bit different, on a vintage moped or an electric bike? So many people have decided to combine a passion for wine with other passions, for a very different exploration of the vineyard, some of them are winegrowers themselves and some are natives of Burgundy. Follow the guides, listen attentively, feel the burn in your legs at times… and above all, make some great new memories.
