The 165th Hospices de Beaune: A Celebration of Wine, Heritage, and Humanity

BEAUNE | 16 NOVEMBER 2025

For over six centuries, the Hospices de Beaune has stood as a symbol of Burgundy’s generosity, craftsmanship, and timeless connection between wine and care. This year, as the legendary Vente des Vins celebrates its 165th edition, the story continues to grow—blending heritage and innovation in the heart of the Côte d’Or.

Ludivine Griveau, Manager of the Hospices de Beaune estate, takes us through this year’s vintage story, celebrating 10 years of UNESCO World Heritage status for the “Climats de Bourgogne.” Alongside her, local voices share how this extraordinary charity auction sustains both a centuries-old hospital and a living cultural legacy.

From the rhythm of the harvest to a new street art project linking tradition and creativity, discover how this year’s Hospices de Beaune Wine Sale captures the spirit of Burgundy: a land where every vine tells a story, and every bottle supports a cause.
