An exceptional stay at Les Sarments | The greatest destinations in the vineyards of France – France’s official wine tourism portal

The five stars awarded to this old winegrower’s house and its luxurious renovation owe nothing to chance. The accommodation in this extra-special residence is full of character and boasts all mod cons. In addition, it offers guests all-inclusive breaks where they can enjoy an authentic wine tourism experience amidst the prestigious Burgundy vineyards.

The establishment makes the most of its location on the Route des Grands Crus to organise day or half-day excursions into the vineyards for its guests. Leaving from Santenay, participants set off to explore the region’s varied landscape and villages in the company of a guide. These expeditions are sprinkled with several stops at a variety of partner estates. The tours of the renowned wineries and the more intimate wine cellars are an opportunity to glimpse the riches of the local terroir with tutored wine tastings. Two winegrowers from the village of Santenay open the doors of their vineyards to introduce you to the wines they make and the village wines, which number as many as 12 premier crus.

For anyone who loves the great outdoors, other excursions by Segway or bike are organised in the heart of the vineyards and surrounding countryside. The beginner’s lessons on wine tasting are also held in the cellar at Les Sarments. The superb vault in this white-stone cellar is the ideal setting to discover the exceptional Burgundy winemaking know-how as you taste a selection of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits wines.

Santenay is also a spa village, and Les Sarments invites guests to treat themselves to a spot of relaxation with relaxology, massage and facial sessions. You can make these well-being breaks go that little bit further with some sunbathing on the residence’s pretty patio. Suffice to say that Les Sarments has everything you could ever want to enjoy an unforgettable stay!
