“Vignobles & Découvertes” Label Launched in 2009, the Vineyards and Discoveries label aims to promote tourism on the theme of wine and vine. It is awarded for a period of 3 years by the ministers responsible for tourism and agriculture, on the recommendation of the Superior Council of wine tourism at a destination for tourism and wine offering a range of multiple and complementary tourism products (accommodation, catering, winery visit and tasting, museum, event, ...) and allowing the client to facilitate the organization of your stay and guide on qualified services and quality. For tourism professionals and wine, this label should improve the readability of their offer which remains difficult to access due to the multiplicity of products and designations; increase visitation and tourism consumption through this factor of attractiveness; and develop tourism market for the wine industry. In Burgundy it was granted the Hill of Corton, the Hill of Montrachet, the axis of Dijon-Côte-de-Nuits and Chablis vineyards.
