The department of Cote d’Or department is located in the north east of the stunning Burgundy region. The department was created in around 1790 and it is the only French department where the name does not originate from a geographical location. The name ’Cote d’Or’ was given because of the gold colour of the vineyards at Beaune during autumn.

Cote d’Or shares borders with the departments of Yonne, Jura, Haute-Saone, Nièvre, Saone-et-Loire, Aube and Haute-Marne. The main town and indeed the prefecture of the department is Dijon, yes where the mustard comes from!

The area, in common with many other French departments, suffered from varied invasions through the centuries, but it managed to develop again and is now famous for its ’art de vivre’ heritage and gastronomical delights.

Good wines are in abundance with the famous Route des Grands Crus a personal favourite. This tourist route goes from Dijon to Santenay and offers people the possibility to discover 40+ villages where fine wines of the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits St George are produced.

Famous villages such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Beaune, Pommard, Vosne-Romanée, Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet belong to Cote d’Or. The department offers therefore outstanding landscapes with the numerous vineyards and an unspoilt nature.
