Take your seat at the table of La Côte Saint-Jacques in Joingny, or at William Frachot’s restaurant in Dijon, Burgundy’s capital, for an unforgettable dining experience. Visit the region’s world-renowned vineyards to sample its namesake Burgundy wine (as well as superb pinot noirs, Chardonnay, Chablis and Beaujolais).
