Since 1938, at the initiative of the Confrérie des Chevaliers de Tastevin, a village of Burgundy vineyards has been receiving, every year, the rotating festival of Saint Vincent and hosting the gathering of all the brotherhoods or fraternal societies of the region. On January 26 and 27, 2019, Vézelay will organize the rotating Saint Vincent. The 80 statues of the societies of Saint Vincent will cross the climates and the streets during the parades. Small reminder: On January 22, the day of Saint Vincent generally corresponds to a period of transition between the state of hibernation of the vine and the return of the vegetation. In the past, they said: «At Saint Vincent, winter is going or resumes». Is this why the winemakers made Vincent their patron saint? Is it because in Vincent there is "vin"? It is a mystery…

At this celebration, the village of Vézelay located in Yonne honours its recognition in AOC 'Vézelay Village' which replaces the name Burgundy. The red and white wines of Vézelien will be tasted in a dozen cellars.

Organised by the Office du Chablis in partnership with the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne (BIVB) every year at the end of October, for a weekend since 1949, the Fête des vins de Chablis (Chablis Wine Festival) is an opportunity to discover and taste the four levels of the Chablis appellation (Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru) and to meet over 50 Chablis wine growers. The village comes alive thanks to the many activities around wine. A very festive weekend to be enjoyed in moderation!

As every year, the winegrowers of the AOC Maranges organize their festival. 23 winegrowers will be there. Animations, hikes to discover the Cabotes, tastings and catering to discover the wines of the winegrowers of Cheilly-les-Maranges, Dezize-les-Maranges and Sampigny-les-Maranges, which are listed in the Côte de Beaune and therefore belong to the territory of the Climats de Bourgogne, which are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO!

During each school vacation period, the castle of Sully is transformed into a fairy tale world and amazes children with its show trips. The actor Thomas Volatier is reincarnated as a colorful character and gives life to the different rooms of the castle during an imaginary story: "Sully Carnavalesque", "Sully en Sucre", "Sully joue sa comédie" or "Frissons À Sully" will punctuate the year 2023. Adults are not left out since in summer and for Halloween, shows are dedicated to them! Let's go for it as a family.
