“Live Like a Local” in Pommard
Various weeks throughout the year
Seven nights, beginning at $3,850 for two – Ideal for small groups of friends or families!
Spend the week of your choice – or even longer – experiencing the rhythm of life in one of the most famous wine villages in Burgundy!
Imagine a land with 2,000 years of winegrowing history. Imagine yourself in the heart of that land, in a village in the Cote d’Or – a place that in July 2015 was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture yourself walking through the vineyards, through the streets of that village, and meeting the people who live there today: The winemakers who breathe life into the region and keep the traditions alive.
Now allow this seven-minute film featuring some of Pommard’s prominent vignerons – friends and neighbors – to transport you to that place.
Finally, expand those seven minutes to seven days, during which you will personally come to feel the pulse of everyday life in Pommard…
Arrive at your beautifully-appointed accommodations to find your fridge already stocked with basic items to get your week off to a relaxing start. Join in the ritual of morning coffee in the local café, perhaps with the mayor of Pommard, himself, seated at the next table. Stroll into the vines on a hillside overlooking the village and feel the sun on your face. Descend into ancient cellars and smell the wine aging in barrels. As the sun is setting, gently ease the cork from a bottle you purchased from a local winemaker, just that morning.
Live like a local and feel the heartbeat of the Cote d’Or – This is Burgundy, at its best!
