Whether on the Route des Grands Crus or in the Auxois hills, a B&B for sale in Côte-d'Or draws guests who come for wine, food and heritage. The Climats of the Burgundy vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stretch from Dijon past Nuits-Saint-Georges to the south of Beaune, where the Hospices wine auction brings buyers and wine lovers every autumn. Further west, Fontenay Abbey, the site of Alésia, Semur-en-Auxois, Flavigny-sur-Ozerain and Châteauneuf form a heritage trail also followed by boaters on the Burgundy canal.
Properties range from winegrowers' houses with vaulted cellars to village maisons de maître and historic residences with large outbuildings. This page is for buyers of a running guest house, for people comparing Côte-d'Or with the rest of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, and for owners preparing a sale.

The typical country house in Côte-d'Or sold for a median €198,000 in 2025, above the regional figure, with the top decile starting at €324,140: a guest house with several rooms often goes beyond that. It then joins the prestige market, which is expensive here, with a median of €722,500 over 2021-2025 (indicative) and four sales in five between €440,500 and €1,160,200. Rural villages within Dijon's orbit fetch a median €220,000; tourist inland areas are cheaper at €126,000 but have risen 31.2% since 2021, a sign that demand is spreading to the countryside.
The wine slopes from Dijon to Beaune bring the steadiest trade, with wine tourists, international visitors and business guests, but also the highest prices and few large properties. The Hautes-Côtes just to the west offer vineyard views and quieter villages for less. The Auxois, around Semur-en-Auxois and Saulieu, combines cattle country, châteaux, the Burgundy canal and the nearby Morvan. In the north, the wooded Châtillonnais, home to the Vix krater and a crémant vineyard, suits nature lovers. The A6, A31, A38 and A39 motorways meet near Dijon and Beaune, Dijon has TGV services and Montbard links the Auxois to Paris.
Limestone buildings, some with traditional lave roofs of flat limestone slabs, suit guest rooms well, but check roof timbers, cellars and damp walls. A chambres d'hôtes business is limited to 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, and must be declared at the mairie (town hall); beyond that, public-access safety rules apply. Serving wine at the table d'hôtes (guest dinners) requires at least a restaurant licence and a specific permit. Near the Saône, the Ouche or the Armançon, check the flood-risk plan; rural homes often rely on a private septic system inspected by the local SPANC service. The season runs from spring to the harvest and the Hospices auction, with quiet winters outside Dijon. See our guide to opening chambres d'hôtes (in French).
Two land-registry benchmarks frame the sum: €198,000 for a country house and €722,500 for a prestige home. On the wine slopes, a guest house sits near the top of that range; in the Auxois or Châtillonnais, well below it. Add works, room fit-out and purchase costs. Our guest house buying guide (in French) covers each stage, from the compromis de vente (preliminary contract) to completion before the notaire, the public official who handles property sales.
Wine lovers usually book one or two nights, spend more than average and expect a good breakfast and tasting tips; a table d'hôtes matched to local wines can lengthen stays. Nothing is guaranteed, so test your assumptions with our B&B profitability and tax simulator (in French) and ask an accountant to review them.
Gather the town hall declaration, recent accounts, booking history, guest reviews, mandatory surveys and the septic inspection, then list your property with us.
