On September 19 and 20, 2026, the Climats of the Burgundy vineyard, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, actively participate in the European Heritage Days with a program including visits, workshops and unusual discoveries.

In Burgundy, the event highlights the "climats," precisely delimited vineyard plots whose outstanding universal value was recognized by UNESCO in 2015.
