Fête du Vin Bourru

An Autumn Burgundian Tradition

The Fête du Vin Bourru takes place every third weekend of October under the Halles of Nuits-Saint-Georges, a historic site in this small wine-growing town on the Côte de Nuits. Organized by the Association La Cabotte with the support of the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges and the Departmental Council of Côte-d'Or, this festival celebrates 'vin bourru', this cloudy wine still undergoing fermentation that is traditionally tasted in the autumn, just after the grape harvest.

Gastronomy and Art de Vivre under the Chapiteau Gourmand

The heart of the festival beats under the Chapiteau Gourmand, a covered area of 150 m² adjacent to the Halles, where visitors can taste Burgundian specialties selected from exhibitors: snails, freshly cut Comté cheese, crusty bread, 'vin bourru' or fruit juices. The festival also offers activities dedicated to the art of well-being and sharing, focusing on gastronomy, art, and tasting the year's vintage.

A Guest of Honor Each Year

Each edition highlights a guest who shares their passion for the terroir and heritage with the public. In 2025 (37th edition), the guest of honor was the Regional Natural Park of Morvan and the Grand Site de France Bibracte — Morvan des Sommets, which offered culinary workshops, including making flour and tasting Gaulish soup around a cauldron.

A Free and Popular Event

The Fête du Vin Bourru is a free event open to all, true to the popular and convivial spirit of Burgundian wine festivals. The Halles of Nuits-Saint-Georges, the town's historic covered market, offer an authentic setting for this celebration of the terroir, attracting thousands of visitors each year to discover or rediscover 'vin bourru' and the flavors of Burgundy.
