Welcome to the École des Vins

Unique experience and advanced training tools

École des Vins de Bourgogne ® BIVB / JOLY M.
  •  Created in 1974 by the Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB), the École des Vins de Bourgogne was a pioneering institution in France. Over the years, we have acquired in-depth expertise in terms of wine-themed training and the organization of wine-related trips. Based in Beaune, the capital of Bourgogne, our school has a presence across the area thanks to offices in Mâcon and Chablis.
  • Our proximity to industry professionals, including winegrowers, négociants, coopers and restaurateurs, means that we can offer a very rich program packed full of local activities. From Mâcon to Chablis, you can explore the entire Bourgogne region from appellations Régionales to mythical Grands Crus.
  • Whether in our professional tasting rooms, in winegrowers’ cellar, in the vines themselves or around a table in one of the region’s many gourmet restaurants, you can learn about the art of winetasting in a location to suit your needs.
  • Our map of Bourgogne includes over 150 references that are selected each year to make up the BIVB’s “Cave de Prestige.” With it, you can explore the whole range of Bourgogne appellations; reds, whites or rosés, and of course, Crémant de Bourgogne.
  • During each trip, we provide our guests with in-depth documentation about Bourgogne wines, and personalized presentations are offered for each session.
 

Passionate experts at your service
