Wine and viticulture are essential economical and cultural actors of Burgundy. Beyond the constant attention of the winegrowers and the crucial period of the harvest, wine is also synonymous with celebration and gastronomy. The Saint-Vincent Tournante, organized by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin of Clos de Vougeot, is among the most important wine-related celebration as it also honors the patron saint of winegrowers in January. The Fête des Grands Vins de Bourgogne (Great Burgundy Wines Festival) takes place at the Palais des Congrès in Beaune during the third weekend of November. However, the most famous celebration is the Vente des Hospices de Beaune (Hospices de Beaune Sale) in November, which brings together amateurs from all over the world.
