Château de Pommard

For many red-wine lovers, a visit to this superb château 3km south of Beaune – established in 1726 and American-owned since 2014 – is a true Burgundian pilgrimage. It offers several wine-related experiences, including English-language tours, a 2½-hour glimpse into the secrets of the sommelier and a kids' introduction to vineyard ecology followed by a fruit juice tasting.
