Auberge de Clochemerle

A pleasant combination of modern and traditional, this atmospheric hotel smack dab in the centre of Vaux-en-Beaujolais has 12 stylishly refitted rooms, some with vineyard views. Dining at its Michelin-starred restaurant is a treat. Chef Romain creates elaborate Beaujolais meals using the best local ingredients, and his wife Delphine is a renowned sommelier – wine pairings are an adventure in themselves. Brilliant value.
