During this 45-minute wine experience, visitors will learn about Burgundy’s terroir, history, and classification systems while tasting five wines from Famille Carabello-Baum’s portfolio. From Gevrey-Chambertin to Meursault, these family cuvées were born in Côte d’Or most prestigious appellations, located along the iconic Route des Grands Crus. Starting July 1 and throughout the summer season, this tasting will be available at a discounted price (€18).

For even more of a deep dive on Pommard’s wines, visitors can sign up for other experiences including the Clos Marey-Monge Vintage tasting (€41) and the Exceptional tasting (€94).
