The oldest traditional wine auction, Les Trois Glorieuses, starts this year with a street festival in Beaune and an open house wine tasting and finishes on the Sunday with the world famous auction in the Hospices de Beaune.
For the sportiest tourists a half-marathon race is organised on the Saturday afternoon in the vineyards surrounding Beaune.
If you want to enjoy the pleasure of this atmosphere for one more day, on the Monday Meursault organises the Paulée, a winegrowers' banquet to celebrate the end of the grape-harvest.
