Sotheby’s is pleased to introduce the Beaune wine auction calendar for the second part of 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.
