Wine is France. It has shaped its culture, its countryside and its people. It has also given you a lip-smacking opportunity to savour and share.
If you like your reds rich and full-bodied, visit Beaune in the heart of the Burgundy region. Beneath the buildings, with their distinctive multi-coloured rooftops, run mile after mile of bottle-lined tunnels. In the best cellars you'll be given a tasting cup and taught how to taste the wine with every area of your tongue - you 'll be dropping Jilly Goolden-isms before you know it. Is that a hint of apples or figs, cloves or tobacco? After copious tastings - for research of course -you're bound to find a wine you like, and what can be more satisfying than coming home with your own little discovery.
Visit in November and you might catch the annual "Vente des vins", the famous charity wine auction at the Hospices de Beaune.

Review this experienceReviews of Wine Tasting in Burgundy
My friend took me wine-tasting Beaune - it was fantastic, all these miles and miles of tunnels filled with wonderful wine. We tasted some memorable reds and ended up buying a bottle of Nuits St Georges to take home for a special occasion.
