Bacchus Festival: The Alliance of Wines, Gastronomy, and Music

Since 2022, the Bacchus Festival has brought together the excellence of the Roussillon terroir and music in the sumptuous setting of the Château de Valmy in Argelès-sur-Mer. This unique festival is defined as 100% epicurean and 100% short-circuit, a philosophy that sets it apart from all other festivals in France.

Château de Valmy: An Exceptional Setting

The festival takes place in the park of Château de Valmy, a historic wine estate perched on the heights of Argelès-sur-Mer, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Mediterranean and the Catalan coast. This enchanting setting, between vineyards and sea, creates a unique atmosphere to savor wines, gastronomy, and music.

Roussillon Wines in the Spotlight

The heart of the Bacchus Festival beats to the rhythm of Roussillon wines. An exhibitor village hosts winemakers selected by lottery, ensuring fair and diverse representation of the Roussillon vineyards. Visitors can taste and discover the emblematic appellations of the territory: Collioure, Banyuls, Côtes du Roussillon, Maury, Rivesaltes, and many others.

Short-Circuit Gastronomy

True to its 100% short-circuit philosophy, the festival offers catering exclusively composed of local products. The catering areas highlight producers and artisans from the Catalan territory, offering an authentic and responsible gastronomic experience.

Three Evenings of Concerts with a Sea View

Each evening, three concerts follow one another on a stage with a view of the Mediterranean. The programming mixes French chanson headliners, international artists, and emerging talents, in a festive and friendly atmosphere. The Bacchus Festival has quickly established itself as an unmissable summer event in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
