Burgundy’s most famous cheese is Époisses, a richly flavored, pungent soft cow’s milk cheese. Since the 1970s, Fromagerie Gaudry in Brochon has been perfecting this traditional recipe, making it a must-visit for cheese lovers traveling south from Dijon along the Vallée de la Gastronomie route.

To complement the savory flavors, Burgundy also offers crème de cassis, a smooth, sweet liqueur made from the region’s renowned blackcurrant berries—among the best in France. Family-run distilleries like Jean-Baptiste Joannet in Arcenant offer tastings, providing a sweet treat to enjoy as you continue your culinary journey south.
