A Wine Trip in the District of Dijon

Other than Paris, one other impressive attraction of France is its local wine, which is greeted all around the world as one of the best, if not the best. A number of places in France are known to make this special brand of wine, with some hotels even serving free wine tasting to its guests.

The French city Dijon is absolutely no exception to this noted rule. One of its hotels, the L'Hostellerie du Chapeau Rouge, has a special promotion where tourists, upon making the formal request, will be given an organized journey of nearby Burgundy Wineyards. The journey will also include a visit to Burgundy wine cellars, highlighted by a free wine tasting activity to allow the tourists to have a taste of the wine that has been the toast of the world for years.

Of course, apart from the wine tasting promotion, L'Hostellerie du Chapeau Rouge has other unfamiliar features that should be interesting discoveries for every new tourist. The in-house restaurant, for example, gives a wide selection of offerings that is regularly changed in accordance with the season. Attractions-wise, the well-known Cathedral Saint Benigne can comfortably be reached after a five-minute walk. Ditto for the museums, the railway district, and the many shopping complexes.

For those desiring recreational activities, tennis courts and swimming pools are not ordinarily that far and can be reached on foot. The nearest golf course, though, is at least 15 kilometers away, so golf fans ideally should have their own car to be able to engage in their favorite sport.
