The village of Savigny-lès-Beaune:
Savigny-lès-Beaune is a charming winegrowing village. The first families to cultivate vineyards here date back to the 15th century, and some of their descendants are still winemakers today!
The village is rich in architectural treasures typical of Burgundy and the broader history of France.
You can explore it via a marked trail (information available at the Savigny-lès-Beaune Tourist Office). The fountains, washhouses, manor, and château await you for a historical tour of the village!
The Château of Savigny-lès-Beaune
Famous for its vast collection of vintage racing cars – mainly Abarth models – and motorcycles, the château offers a unique experience.
In its expansive park, you can wander among an impressive array of planes and helicopters. Admire MIGs, Dassault aircraft, and even four planes from the Patrouille de France.
This unique gem is not to be missed!
The Burgundy Climats
The Burgundy Climats were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2015.
This recognition celebrates the unique character of the Côte Viticole, stretching from Dijon to Beaune, Santenay, and even the Maranges in Saône-et-Loire.
Remarkable landscapes, exceptional architectural heritage, and unparalleled expertise contributed to this designation.
Savigny-lès-Beaune is part of this heritage, ideally located on the Route des Grands Crus—a scenic wine trail through the heart of Burgundy’s most prestigious vineyards.
You can explore it by car or bike, as a cycling route also passes through our village.
From Gevrey-Chambertin to Santenay, the Côte Beaunoise is waiting for you!
Along the way, discover winegrowing villages like Vosne-Romanée with its iconic Romanée Conti vineyards, the Hospices de Beaune, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and many more.
Wine tastings are available if you’re interested, and we’ll be happy to help you choose the best options!
The Hospices de Beaune
A symbol of Burgundy, the Hospices de Beaune is renowned for its polychrome glazed tile roofs and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The story of the Hospices Civils de Beaune began in 1443 when Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins founded a hospital: the Hôtel-Dieu.
Their charitable vision and patronage established a tradition that has allowed the Hospices de Beaune to endure through the centuries in exceptional conditions.
