About La Guinguette des Chefs
La Guinguette des Chefs is a gastronomic festival announced by the town of Domme, located in the royal bastide of the Périgord Noir, for the 2026 edition of the regional "Bastides en Fête" event, which this year focuses on the culinary traditions of the Périgord. This popular gathering features brass bands, a cooking competition, and a showcase of local dishes and produce, following a week dedicated to some forty Périgord chefs organized by the Dordogne Departmental Tourism Committee.
La Guinguette des Chefs — edition 2026
For its announced launch, La Guinguette des Chefs is scheduled for October 24 and 25, 2026, in the bastide town of Domme. The event will focus on Périgord gastronomy, the theme chosen for the 2026 edition of Bastides en Fête, featuring brass bands, a culinary competition, and a showcase of local dishes and produce. The event follows the Semaine des Chefs (October 19-24, 2026), which brings together around forty Périgord chefs across the department. As of now, these dates have only been announced in the August 2026 municipal bulletin; the official events calendar, published in the same bulletin, still reserves this weekend for the Médiévales Fantastiques de Domme.
An announcement from the municipal bulletin, yet to be confirmed
The August 2026 issue of the municipal bulletin "La Vie Dommoise," released online on August 6, announces that Domme will participate in the 2026 edition of Bastides en Fête—with the departmental theme of Périgord gastronomy—by hosting La Guinguette des Chefs on October 24 and 25, 2026. This popular festival will feature brass bands, a culinary competition, and a celebration of local dishes and products, following the Semaine des Chefs (involving 40 Périgord chefs, October 19-24, 2026, organized by the Dordogne Departmental Tourism Committee, Logis de Périgord, and Toques du Périgord). The same article notes that the Médiévales Fantastiques de Domme, which occupied this weekend in previous years as part of Bastides en Fête, have been moved to the weekend of the European Heritage Days in September (September 19 and 20, 2026, for this edition).
The town's official 2026 events calendar, published a few pages later in the same bulletin, has not been updated accordingly: it continues to list the Médiévales Fantastiques de Domme, rather than La Guinguette des Chefs, for October 24 and 25, 2026, and makes no mention of a "Guinguette des Chefs." As of August 20, 2026, the official Bastides en Fête website has not published any information for Domme regarding October 24 and 25 ("Upcoming Events"). A call to the Domme Tourist Office (05 53 31 71 00) is recommended to confirm before planning your visit.
Programme La Guinguette des Chefs 2026
The detailed program has not been released. The August 2026 municipal bulletin announces a popular festival for October 24 and 25, 2026, without specifying times or locations, featuring brass bands, a culinary competition, and a showcase of Périgord dishes and produce. No other source currently confirms this event or its dates; the town's official events calendar, published in the same bulletin, does not mention it and continues to reserve that weekend for the Médiévales Fantastiques de Domme.
A new event for the bastide of Domme
La Guinguette des Chefs was announced in the August 2026 issue of the municipal bulletin "La Vie Dommoise" as Domme's contribution to the 2026 edition of Bastides en Fête, an event that brings together bastide towns from the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne regions every autumn. For 2026, the department has chosen Périgord gastronomy as its theme: Domme is participating with a lively festival featuring brass bands, a culinary contest, and a celebration of local food and regional products.
This event follows a week dedicated to around forty Périgord chefs, the "Semaine des Chefs," organized from October 19 to 24, 2026, by the Dordogne Departmental Tourism Committee in partnership with the Logis de Périgord and the Toques du Périgord.
