Guide · Beaune · January 2027
Burgundy's biggest wine weekend comes to Volnay, ten minutes from Beaune. The village is small and parking is scarce: the smart move is to stay in Beaune and take the shuttle. Here is where to stay, and five hotels to book direct.

In short: the Saint-Vincent Tournante takes place on 30–31 January 2027 in Volnay. Stay in Beaune's historic centre, ten minutes away, and come by train: shuttles will leave from near the station. Buy your tasting kit online and book your hotel now, directly on its own website.
The Saint-Vincent Tournante is a Burgundy wine festival held in a different village each year; it honours Saint Vincent, patron saint of winegrowers, and an old tradition of mutual help among growers. Revived in 1938 by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (the region's best-known wine brotherhood), it combines a mass, a parade of the wine brotherhoods through the streets, tastings and the induction of veteran winegrowers. The 2027 festival is the 83rd; Volnay last hosted it 41 years ago.
Several former private mansions brought together, with two listed 16th-century courtyards, a formal French garden and a panoramic tower. Breakfast is served in a vaulted cellar and the hotel is home to the Marie de Bourgogne spa.
An old building with a tower, glazed-tile roofs and an inner courtyard, renovated while keeping its character. It stands on a cobbled street in the old town, near the Hospices.
A partly historic building that blends old-world charm with modern comfort, each room individually decorated. Garden, terrace and private garage.
A former 15th-century coaching inn opposite the Hospices, with rooms renovated in a contemporary style. Restaurant, piano bar and library on site.
A 16-room "guest-house hotel", fully renovated in 2021, with a garden, terrace and pétanque court. It is about a 15-minute walk from the centre and very close to the A6 (Saint-Nicolas exit).
Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 January 2027, in Volnay, near Beaune.
The easiest option is to stay in Beaune's historic centre, 10 minutes from Volnay, or near Beaune station, where the shuttles leave from. Pommard and Meursault are other nearby bases.
By train to Beaune (about 2 hours 15 minutes from Paris), then shuttle bus; by car via the A6, although parking on site is very limited; or by bike along the Voie des Vignes.
Entry is with a tasting kit (engraved 2027 glass + 8 tickets): around €20 online, €25 on the day. Children's kit: €6.
As early as possible: the festival draws a lot of visitors over a single weekend and most of Beaune's hotels are small.
