Zone A and Burgundy winemaking traditions

In Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, winter and spring school breaks follow Zone A (académies of Dijon and Besançon). The region is celebrated for its centuries-old winemaking and gastronomic heritage.

Every last weekend of January, the rotating Saint-Vincent Tournante wine festival celebrates the patron saint of winemakers in a different Burgundy village, while Beaune hosts the historic Hospices de Beaune wine auction in November.
