Le Cassissium

Here, it is not the grape that takes the starring role, but the blackcurrant! More than a mere attraction, a visit to Le Cassissium, the liquor store of La Maison Vedrenne, is fascinating, entertaining and instructive for the entire family. On the programme, tactile, visual and olfactory experiences, not forgetting tastings, to learn about the history of the blackcurrant and its many uses in the kitchen, pharmacy and perfumery. A gourmet tour of a different kind!

The Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune

A magnificent 29.64-acre property crossed by a river which originally fed the moats of this old fortress, the Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune, built around 1340, is a renowned wine-producing estate. After a session tasting Meursault, Pommard or Volnay, visitors are delighted to discover unique museums in the park. In fact, they are knocked out by fighter planes, Abarth racing cars, motorbikes, fire-engines, etc... A very original sampling!
