“Les Trois Glorieuses de Bourgogne” (The Three Glorious Days of Burgundy) is the premier, most prestigious, and oldest annual wine festival in the world, held in Burgundy, France.
The festival traditionally comprises three major cultural and charitable events held at various iconic locations across the region:
Saturday (November 14) — Gala Dinner of the Brotherhood of the Knights of Tastevin. Held at the Château du Clos de Vougeot, this is an exclusive gala dinner and tasting event dedicated to celebrating Burgundy wines and local gastronomy.
Sunday (November 15) — The Hospices de Beaune charity auction. This is the weekend’s main event. It takes place in the town of Beaune, within the historic medieval hospital complex known as the Hôtel-Dieu. It is the world’s most famous wine auction, where barrels (“pièces”) of the new vintage are sold, and the millions of euros raised go toward charity and the upkeep of the hospital.
Monday (November 16) — La Paulée de Meursault: A final banquet held in the wine-producing commune of Meursault. A unique feature of this celebration is that winemakers, collectors, and guests bring the finest bottles from their own cellars to share generously with one another.
