Vignobles en Scène, the new national event dedicated to wine tourism

This new, unmissable autumn event will take place for the first time on October 17, 18, and 19, 2025, in 70 Vignobles & Découvertes-certified destinations, offering a different way of experiencing the vineyards over these three days.

From October 17 to 19, throughout France, destinations certified Vignobles & Découvertes will open the doors to a vibrant, accessible, and surprising wine tourism experience. It’s the perfect All Saints’ Day deal: three days to twist the French art of living, an ideal opportunity to plan an autumn getaway, with your family or friends, to enjoy a breath of fresh air in the heart of the vineyards. Much more than tastings, a mosaic of experiences awaits the general public, punctuated by walks, festivals, heritage, workshops, gastronomy, relaxation, and outdoor recreation.

Everyone can create their own itinerary and experience a stay that suits them.
