The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (literally "Fraternity of the Knights of the Wine-Tasting Cup") is a Bacchanalian fraternity of wine connoisseurs established in 1934 to promote Burgundian wines and culture.
Originally formed under the Ancien Régime and re-established in 1934, the Chevaliers du Tastevin are based at the 12th-century château of Clos de Vougeot, in the French department of Côte d'Or.
With chapters worldwide, called Sous-Commanderies, in view of its Gallic heritage, the name and ceremonial titles are usually styled in French.
