2 Best Sights in Nuits-St-Georges, Burgundy

Inside the Cassissium’s sparkling glass-and-steel building, the world of cassis is explored through films and interactive displays. A 90-minute tour of Védrenne's liqueur production ends (of course!) with a cassis tasting.

Within walking distance of the town center, this swanky winery is in an ancient convent dating from the 17th century. The Boisset family currently own the 108 acres of Domaine de la Vougeraie vineyards situated on the slopes of the Côtes de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. The vines are all cultivated using biodynamic methods. A cellar visit (€35, reservations only) starts with a short film explaining how the convent cellars were converted into today's winery; the guide then goes on to explain the concept of biodynamic wine production. The tour ends with a tasting of six wines.
