Hot-air ballooning in Burgundy, Beaune (Pommard): a beautiful escape in the heart of the UNESCO vineyard.
Beaune is a city rich in heritage, known for its hospices founded by Nicolas Rolin in the 15th century. It is also the capital of Burgundy wines. The annual wine auction of the hospices, held on the third Sunday of November, is a notable event. Bids can reach astonishing heights, but always for a good cause.
Your day begins with a departure from your hotel. Board our comfortable, air-conditioned car and prepare for an unforgettable adventure.
Flying over the coasts of Beaune and the coasts of Nuits allows you to better understand the unique peculiarity of the Burgundy vineyard which has earned it today the opportunity to see its climates classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site. The mosaic of the enclosures and plots, drawn on the hillsides over time by the winegrowers, testifies to an ancestral know-how that produces exceptional wines while respecting the terroirs.
In the early morning, it is not uncommon for a few layers of mist to give these landscapes a mysterious, almost fantastic character, where the villages have managed to remain picturesque and retain their authenticity despite their international renown. Aloxe-Corton, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet or even Pommard, so many names evocative of oenophiles, cradles of some of the greatest vintages of Burgundy, are on the program of this dream destination in the land of wine and gastronomy.
After your unforgettable experience, your private driver will take you back to your hotel.
