Olivier LE ROY

As Director of the Cité des Climats & vins de Bourgogne project for 4 years, I led in 2023 the opening of the network of our 3 cultural and oenotouristic sites.

The Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne invites you to discover every aspect of our unique cultural and historical heritage, through a singular journey to the heart of the Bourgogne vineyards.

Who are we?

• A network : We have created a network of three wine tourism sites: three vibrant places - in Chablis, Beaune and Mâcon - to represent all of wine-growing Bourgogne, from north to south.

• A messenger : We are the mouthpiece for the diversity of Bourgogne’s wine culture, the messenger for these passionate men and women who work, now and in the future, for the protection and promotion of this living heritage.

• A gateway : We offer three gateways to Bourgogne’s wine heritage, and hope to encourage you to continue your voyage of discovery into the region’s vineyards and wine cellars.

• A place of reference : We are THE place of reference dedicated to sharing Bourgogne, its heritage, its culture, its history and its wines; and the main Centre for the Interpretation of Bourgogne’s Vineyard Climats, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Our ambition

Bringing Bourgogne’s wine culture to life and sharing it with the whole world.

Our offer

• Unique experiences : Through immersive and sensory experiences, we seek to offer you the keys to understanding the world of vineyards and wine.

• Open to all : Whether you’re an amateur or a novice; a committed enthusiast or just curious; from France or further afield; on a school tour or a business trip; the Cité is open to all! Everyone can discover the world of wine or deepen their knowledge, according to their own wishes… both at the Cité and beyond!

• Our commitment : The Cité participates, at its own level, in a more sustainable world: eco-responsible design and management of buildings, ethical sourcing for bars and shops, and encouragement of green tourism.

Besides, the Ecole des Vins de Bourgogne also trains begginers and professionnals in Dijon. Located in the complementary Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin, our experience trainers help you discover a unique 360° wine tasting experience during short sessions. It can also deliver any tasting experience wherever you like.
