Wine Festival of Beaune



I'm going to talk about Beaune where the festival is held. Beaune is in religion Bourgone in France. The capital of religion Bourgogne is Dijon, but Beaune is called a capital of wine. It is a small country town with 20,000 peoples and has still an appearance of past as it is. There is a gradual hill around of Beaune, and the hill is called “Cote D’or”. Its name is “The Hill of Gold” in English and grape fields expand. The grape field is divided with small. The each small division have each colors and those look like pattern of mosaic. A wine is made from the each small division, and is a secret that a lot of kinds come from one religion. There are many wine festivals in Beaune, but the most famous festival is Beaune Wine Festival.

There are museums of wine and about 300 wine cellars from north to south and so on in Beaune. If you visit there, you can taste a lot of kinds of wine. The cellars are opened for tourists who want to know knowledge of wine, want to taste wines. In autumn, the wine tours are planed to tourists three times a day. You can go to the grape fields, the cellars with guide about two hours. Well, how about take part in the tour?
