Weddings in Burgundy

Burgundy is a landscape of celebrated vineyards, historic châteaux and elegant country estates, where centuries of French winemaking heritage provide a beautiful backdrop for weddings. Celebrations take place in restored castles, traditional manor houses, vineyard properties and landscaped gardens, with historic interiors and peaceful countryside settings suited to intimate gatherings and larger occasions.

The Côte d'Or is renowned for its vineyards and wine villages, stretching through the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Dijon brings architectural grandeur and a distinguished culinary heritage, while Beaune is celebrated for its medieval streets and remarkable Hospices de Beaune. Further south, the rolling landscapes of the Mâconnais reveal another side of the region.

Questions couples ask

Marrying in Burgundy

Short answers from what the venues have told us.

Does Burgundy suit couples with no wine expertise?

Yes, though it rewards a link to the region through wine, food, travel or family. The venue pool is smaller than in Provence. Couples wanting only a French backdrop may prefer Languedoc or the Dordogne.

How does a cellar dinner differ from a bastide dinner?

It is held in a vaulted stone cellar of a working domaine, among barrels of the current vintage, with wine from the property. It is far from the garden dinners of Provence.

Can the Hospices de Beaune be used for a wedding?

It can be hired exclusively for significant events. The administration manages arrangements, which call for a specialist planner with prior relationships. It is among the most demanding venues to arrange.

How does transport work?

Dijon TGV is the hub. Lyon Saint-Exupery gives direct London links. Coach transfers to Cote d'Or venues are simple.

When does Burgundy photograph most dramatically?

October, during harvest, with golden vines, valley mist and autumn light. June is the alternative for green vineyards and long evenings.
