Pinot Noir is one of the oldest grape varieties to be cultivated for the purpose of making wine.
Ancient Romans knew this grape as Helvenacia Minor and vinified it as early as the first century AD. Recognized worldwide as a great wine grape,
the reputation that gets pinot noir so much attention, however, is owed to the wines of Burgundy (Bourgogne), France. For most of wine history, this two-mile-wide,
thirty-mile-long stretch of hills, called the Côte d'Or ("Slope of Gold"), is the only region to achieve consistent success from the pinot noir vine. |

Detailed
itinerary
Burgundy is green year-round and gets plenty of rainfall. Spring, summer, and fall are equally beautiful, so any time between April and October is good for a visit.
The region rarely feels overrun by tourists, but the wine-producing areas can get very busy during the harvest in September and early October.
Temperatures in early spring and late fall are usually in the 50s and reach the upper 70s in high season (July and August). Winter is cold and wet (and occasionally freezing and snowy). Many businesses close in the winter, and some—particularly wineries—close in August, when many French citizens go on vacation themselves.
