Château de la Commaraine
- Location: Burgundy, France
- Why it’s notable: Château de la Commaraine will reopen a historic Pommard wine estate as a hotel, offering one of the rare chances to stay directly within Burgundy vineyards rather than in nearby towns like Beaune. The 37-room property occupies a former château dating to the 12th century, with guest rooms, dining spaces, and a working winery spread across a nine-acre vineyard estate in the heart of one of Burgundy’s most recognized appellations.
- Type of traveler who will love this hotel: Those who want to wake up in Burgundy vineyards — and not have to assign a designated driver for the entire vacation.
- What’s nearby: The hotel sits in the village of Pommard, surrounded by Premier Cru vineyards and small producer tasting rooms, with Beaune less than a 10-minute drive away for the Hospices de Beaune and the Burgundy Wine Museum. You can also explore the region by bike along vineyard roads, book hot-air balloon flights over the Côte de Beaune, or take canal cruises through nearby countryside villages.
- Opening: Summer 2026
