Sotheby’s is pleased to introduce the Beaune wine auction calendar for the second part of 2026.
Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot
In June, the 18th edition of the Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot Festival will take place across some of the most beautiful sites in Burgundy, presenting a series of exceptional performances. These unique experiences, combining music concerts and wine tastings, will start on June 20 in the Hôtel-Dieu courtyard, and end on June 28 in the historical Château du Clos de Vougeot. The highlight of this closing evening will be an exceptional live auction supporting the work of Musique & Vin au Clos Vougeot.
In parallel with this music festival, Sotheby’s is delighted to arrange an extraordinary online auction, offering rare bottles donated directly by the most prestigious domaines of Burgundy and beyond, as well as remarkable experiences. This unique opportunity to acquire superb bottles will support the Instrumental Fund and finance scholarships and concerts for young talents, enabling them to practice their art in the best possible conditions. This online auction will open on June 15 and close on June 30, 2026.

166e Vente des Vins des Hospices de Beaune
Later this autumn, Sotheby’s will present the 166th Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction, which will take place, as per tradition, on the third Sunday of November — 15 November 2026 — in the Halles de Beaune.
This charitable auction of Burgundy wines, offered in 228-litre barrels, is regarded as the oldest and most prestigious wine auction in the world. Once again, this landmark event in the international wine calendar will bring together hundreds of buyers from around the world in support of a renowned institution that has upheld its charitable mission for nearly 600 years.
As part of Les Trois Glorieuses, this annual auction now represents the pinnacle of the calendar in Burgundy and has become a major cultural phenomenon in the region. Participating in this historic sale offers not only the chance to acquire your own barrel of wine, but also the chance to support one of the world’s truly historic charitable institutions — and, in doing so, become part of Burgundy’s living heritage.
