In October, Vignobles en Scène invites lovers of wine, culture, and heritage to gather for three days of exploration. It’s an opportunity to (re)discover the richness of France’s vineyards, meet the passionate people behind the wines, and share festive moments celebrating local terroirs. It offers a fresh and inspiring way to experience France’s wine routes - from Alsace to Bordeaux, via Champagne.
Inspired by European Heritage Days, Vignobles en Scène is a must-see event in the world of wine tourism. Every third weekend in October, destinations with the Vignobles & Découvertes label open their doors to showcase the diversity of French terroirs.
Three days to experience vineyards differently
Over the course of a weekend, participating destinations offer a multitude of activities for all audiences: tastings and food and wine pairings, meetings with chefs and artisans of taste, walks through the vineyards, sensory workshops, sporting or contemplative activities, concerts, shows, exhibitions, screenings... A complete experience to discover the vineyard in a different way and enjoy festive and convivial moments.
Unusual banquets: the signature experience
A highlight of Vignobles en Scène, these exceptional banquets offer a truly unique experience: a convivial meal served in an extraordinary setting - château, abbey, museum, or even a secret natural or industrial site.
They showcase each region’s wines and local products, elevated by the magic of the location. Whether with friends, as a couple, or with family, it’s a rare moment where gastronomy and heritage meet. Places are limited, so be sure to book!
You might've missed the 2025 weekend, but keep an eye out for the 2026 dates that will appear closer to the time or get in touch with the tourism board directly.
