The famous Clos de Vougeot castle (12th and 16th centuries), built by Cîteaux monks, is home to the Brotherhood of the Tastevin Knights. In Chenôve, two screw wine presses of the Dukes of Burgundy can be visited.

• Côte de Beaune, renowned vineyards located between Ladoix-Serrigny and Maranges hillside, produces red wines such as Pommard, Volnay, Aloxe-Corton and white wines, such as Corton, Meursault and Montrachet. In Beaune, a wine museum explains the history of the vineyards and their wines.
