Climat Month the Burgundy vineyards have their festival

What if the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne became an open-air theatre? Between June and July in the Côte-d’Or, the vineyards come alive and are transformed into a living stage: you arrive for a walk, stay for a concert, end up chatting with a winegrower over a drink… In short, every year, the Month of the Climats offers around 75 new experiences in terroir and heritage: the ideal time to immerse yourself in the history of the Climats de Bourgogne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Vineyard walks

What if a simple walk became an adventure in the heart of a UNESCO-listed landscape? Between low stone walls, centuries-old vineyards and vines lined up as if on parade, the walks transform each path into a life-size travel diary. Here, the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne in the Côte-d’Or can be explored to the rhythm of your footsteps and the stories whispered by your guides.

Unusual tastings

Forget the traditional cellar: during the Mois des Climats, wine tasting is reinvented and invites you to taste Burgundy with all your senses. A sunset, a secret garden, a surprising food and wine pairing… each event becomes a sensory experience that celebrates wine, gastronomy, conviviality and the Burgundian art of living. Each event is a declaration of love to the land and the people who bring it to life.

Cultivation in the vineyards

Exhibitions, concerts, theatre: when the vineyards are transformed into a stage, culture brings heritage to life like never before. Music that resonates, original events and suspended moments where the atmosphere is both festive and deeply rooted in local culture: the Mois des Climats is also this meeting of wine-growing traditions and artistic creativity.

Rendez-vous in Côte-d'Or

Le Mois des Climats is THE time to find out more about Burgundy’s 1,247 climats. And because Burgundy can also be discovered at a child’s level, fun and educational workshops are organised for the very young. If wine had a diary, it would surely include the dates of the next Mois des Climats!
