In Burgundy, harvesting the whites generally gets under way at the end of August with the reds starting around 7 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only is the harvest in full swing, but the Burgundy vineyards, often reaching to the horizon and beyond, are lovely to look at. From the C\u00f4te de Beaune, through the Beaujolais region and around M\u00e2con, you see rows and rows of immaculately kept vines creating a changing pattern of glorious colours as summer turns to autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During boating holidays in Burgundy,\u00a0tourism and wine-tasting go together perfectly. And there are lots of ways to enjoy it: you can follow wine routes or pathways through the vines, admire the landscapes, visit wine-growing villages, meet the people who know their trade and taste their wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting from Scey-sur-Sa\u00f4ne, you can easily discover the vineyards around Chagny or Santenay aboard your\u00a0canal boat<\/a>.\u00a0The Domaine de la Folie in Chagny<\/a>, for example, perched at the northern end of the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise, offers an exceptional panoramic view over the local vine-covered slopes. Visits and tasting are organised seven days a week, and at aperitif-time, the twice-daily VINOAPERO formula (11:00 and 18:00) is the moment for gastronomes, and everyone who enjoys the good things in life, to taste a selection of local delicacies accompanied by the Domaine\u2019s local Rully wines and liqueurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
