After several years of vision, reflection and hard work, spearheaded by the Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB), the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne will open its doors in Chablis, Beaune and Mâcon for mid-June. This major event will take place in two stages: the phased opening to the general public, and the official inauguration of the network.
Phased openings in spring 2023*

Mâcon will kick things off on Friday 3rd May, followed by Chablis on Friday 17th May, and Beaune on Saturday 17th June. The opening of the Cité in Beaune will also mark the launch of the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne network.
