What to do in Burgundy in spring?
The best activities around Les Sources de Vougeot
In spring, Burgundy awakens in a unique light. The vineyard rows come back to life, the golden stone walls warm in the sun, and the air fills with the season’s first scents. It is the perfect time to explore the activities around Vougeot, from exceptional wine heritage and Grand Cru tastings to peaceful nature escapes in the heart of the Côte de Nuits.
Whether you are passionate about wine tourism, enjoy walking through the vineyards, or are simply seeking the Burgundy art of living, here are our favourite experiences for creating an unforgettable spring stay.
The Château du Clos de Vougeot
The soul of Burgundy’s vineyards
Just a short walk from the hotel, the Château du Clos de Vougeot stands as one of the most powerful symbols of the world’s wine heritage. Behind its historic walls shaped by Cistercian monks, it reveals centuries of tradition, expertise and excellence.
In spring, the golden light bathing its glazed tile roofs creates a striking spectacle. It is the ideal season to take your time exploring, from the monumental wine presses to the vaulted cellars that have witnessed the birth of Burgundy’s finest vintages.
Opening hours: April to October, daily from 9.30 am to 6.00 pm (last entry at 5.30 pm). November to March, from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm.
The villages of the Côte de Nuits
A journey into the heart of Burgundy
Around Vougeot, several villages perfectly embody the essence of Burgundy and are well worth a visit during your stay.
Gevrey-Chambertin, just ten minutes away by car, unfolds its charming streets lined with wine cellars and estates. This is where some of the world’s most prestigious wines are born.
Nuits-Saint-Georges invites you to enjoy an authentic stroll, deeply connected to the vineyard, with producers located in the very heart of the town.
Further south, Beaune shines with exceptional heritage: its Hospices, ramparts, cellars and private mansions make it an unmissable cultural and gastronomic destination.
Nature and slow tourism
Exploring the vineyard differently
The Vougeot region is an ideal playground for lovers of nature and slow tourism in Burgundy. In spring, the landscapes of the Côte de Nuits reveal a palette of soft greens, dotted with the first buds appearing on the vines.
By bike along the Route des Grands Crus, on foot through paths that wind between UNESCO-listed vineyard plots, or simply wandering among the vines, each route becomes a sensory experience, guided by nature and terroir.
With the family around Vougeot
Memories shaped by the terroir
The region offers a wealth of experiences designed for both children and adults. In Beaune, the Cité des Climats et vins de Bourgogne features a fun and multi-sensory children’s trail centred around the vine, with creative workshops and a grape juice tasting.
In the cobbled streets of the old town, a treasure hunt called “The Mystery of the Lost Coat of Arms” turns the visit into a real family adventure. In Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Cassissium introduces younger visitors to the secrets of blackcurrant in an interactive and delicious way.
And for the most precious moments: a bike ride through the vineyards, a picnic by the stone walls, or discovering the traditional cadoles along the Route des Grands Crus. Burgundy is also about enjoying simple pleasures together as a family.
The Spa Caudalie through the seasons
In spring, the Spa Caudalie reveals its full meaning. The vines emerge from dormancy, and treatments using grape seed extracts echo this natural renewal.
Toning, radiance and deep relaxation: vinotherapy rituals adapt to the body’s rhythm and the changing season.
Let our therapists guide you through a world of unique treatments, designed in harmony with the vineyard stretching just beyond the windows.
For a duo massage, a signature treatment or a full day of relaxation, our team will tailor your experience.
