This celebration in the famous Champagne wine region, which takes place every year in the area of Aube, is the opportunity to discover different varieties of champagnes and local food.

On July 25 and 26 in the towns of Arrentières, Colombé le Sec, Colombé la Fosse, Rouvres les Vignes and Voigny, your champagne glass, that you will have bought at the entry of villages or wine cellars, will be your “passport”. It will give you free access to the 30 wine cellars especially open to public during this week-end for wine tasting. So, alongside local winegrowers you will be able to discover the richness of local produce and they will share with you also their passion and know-how. There will be also celebrations in the streets, shows and music during this week-end.

The burgundian vineyard is a real living legend. For 2000 years it has combined land’s generosity as well as men’s work and has become a worldwide benchmark.

Just like the different towns and villages located all along its way, the Burgundy Wine Route is diverse and divides into as many tours as there are winegrower lands to discover, or almost… Wine from Burgundy is not just about the famous Côte d’Or vineyards. The Route will make you travel all over the diversity of burgundian vineyards : huge or small, young or old, prestigious or unknown, on plateau or hillside… and throughout the four areas of the region : Côte d’Or, Nièvre, Saône-et-Loire and Yonne. Actually, the route divides into five itineraries, one for each renowned burgundian vineyards : the Fine Wine Route (Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune area), the Great Wine Route (Côte chalonnaise area), the Mâconnais-Beaujolais Wine Route (Saône-et-Loire area), the Tourist Route of Yonne vineyards, the Coteaux de Pouilly-Sancerre Route (Nièvre area). Therfore, along the Burgundy Wine Route there are many villages full of heritage to see and wine cellars open to public.
