A Virtual Burgundy Tour
Have you ever dreamed of visiting the Burgundy region of France? Some of the world’s most highly regarded wines originate here, but there is so much more to the region than wine.  Dijon, the capital of the region is also the mustard capital of the world! There is a beautiful national park, historic villages, and fine cuisine.

Yes, of course, there’s wine and history.

French Winophiles Love Burgundy!
Our French #Winophiles group is exploring France with a monthly virtual visit to a new wine region. You never know what we’ll dig up: food and wine ideas, travel experiences, anything goes! Here’s what our group has created for our January visit to Burgundy:

Cute little towns abound, exploration required.

You can walk, bicycle, or drive right through the vineyards in Bourgogne!

Make sure you visit Moutarde Fallot in Beaune. You will be a mustard convert.

1443 A.D. History abounds at the l’Hotel Dieu in Beaune

Wonderful cuisine. “Waiter, I think there’s a snail in my soup!”

You’ll not be seeing any ketchup at the table in Burgundy.
