[VENTE DES VINS] Bienvenue au banquet des Ducs de Bourgogne

During the festive occasion that is the Hospices de Beaune Wine Auction, the Hôtel des Ducs de Bourgogne invites you to experience, in the wine cellar, the practices and customs of the Dukes of Burgundy in the Middle Ages. Seated around a reconstructed banquet table, come and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a medieval banquet and admire the dishes that were served at the Duke’s table. Through period recipes that you’ll need to decipher, discover how the cooks prepared the dishes, as well as the spices and aromatic herbs that were used – which you’ll be able to handle for yourself.

A banquet isn’t just about fine dining. How did people entertain themselves during these meals, which could last for hours? If you fancy a few dance steps, let yourself be swept away by medieval dances in the museum courtyard: demonstrations and taster sessions with the Guilde de la Chouette association.
