In 2026 the programme also included lectures at the headquarters of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine and tasting workshops run by the École des Vins de Bourgogne. ## Tips for the day In 2026 the engraved glass cost 5 euros with a first tasting included, then 3 euros per tasting, and the tasting village ran from 11 am to 7 pm. The parade starts in the morning after mass. A private driver can bring you in from the Côte and take you back after the last glass. ## Did you know?
