The Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune, built in 1340 and renovated in the 17th century, is listed as a historic monument. This former fortress now houses some unusual collections.

In the castle grounds, you will discover around a hundred fighter planes and helicopters. The castle and its outbuildings house 30 Abarth racing car prototypes and over 200 motorcycle models from 1903 to 1960, including those of Jean Mermoz and Chanoine Kir. Also worth seeing: a firefighting museum, a museum of wine-making equipment, a museum of straddle tractors, and more than 8,000 models.

On the property, the Petit Château (1671) houses the tasting cellar and restaurant (bookings required for groups of 20 or more). Since 1979, Michel Pont, a passionate collector and owner of the Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune, has opened his museums to the public every day to share his passions. His son, Christophe Pont, runs the château’s wine estate, Les Caves de l’Orangerie, and invites you to discover some of Burgundy’s prestigious appellations. Wine tasting and sales of the estate’s wines are available on site.
