The Burgundy region boasts top French wines, romantic canals, Romanesque churches and some of France's most renowned cuisine. We base in the small town of Beaune and learn about its history of wine making. From the vineyards of the Cote dOr to the culinary delights we discover the exquisite taste of Burgundy. The city of Dijon and the cathedral at Vezelay
