Nuits-Saint-Georges wine auction

Nuits-Saint-Georges (21 Côte d’Or, BFC) is a famous Burgundy wine village, but its charity Hospices Wine Sale (vente des vins des Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges) is rather overshadowed by the annual charity auction in Beaune in November, which is part of the Trois Glorieuses Burgundy Festival.

In Nuits-Saint-Georges, the sale is in March each year ( 10 March 2024) now running more than 55 years, and whilst the professionals commandeer much of the official wine programme, there are tastings open to the public each afternoon for just €10.00! – see www.hospicesdenuits.com/

Thereis a separate Nuits-Saint-Georges wine Festival (Fête du Vin Bourru )in October

Throughout the town there are numerous festivities including music and processions, dog show, craft and gourmet markets – and a Chocolate Festival! (Fête du Chocolat)
