Wine

Savigny-lès-Beaune is one of the wine communes of the Côte de Beaune. It is a picturesque village of some architectural interest, including several châteaux, a Romanesque clock tower and a charming church (St.-Cassien).

Château and museums

The main Château (pictured) dates from the fourteenth century. It has museums that have little to do with its wine producing activities. The Château has various museum collections: "Musee de la moto" (~250 motorbikes, from 1902-1960); "Musee de la Voiture de Course Arbath" (Abarth racing cars); "Musee de l'Aéronautique" (aviation - around 80 aircraft, mostly warbirds, including many by Dassault and Mikoyan/MiG); "Musee de al Maquettes d'Avion" (around 2,500 1:72 scale model aircraft); "Musee du Tracteur Enjambeur" (tractors) ; "Musee du Matériel Vinaire et Viticole" (viticulture); "Musee des Pompeurs" (fire engines).[1]
