Les Musicaves
World music and Burgundy wine festival at Domaine Thénard in Givry
About Les Musicaves
Les Musicaves is an eclectic and intergenerational festival that celebrates musical diversity while highlighting the Burgundy terroir. Every year in June, Domaine Thénard in Givry hosts three days of concerts, discoveries, and tastings of Givry appellation wines, in a friendly and warm atmosphere.
A festival with a Burgundian soul
Born from the encounter between music and wine, Les Musicaves offers a cultural and sensory adventure in the heart of the Givry vineyards, in Saône-et-Loire. The festival combines world music concerts, DJ sets, local wine tastings, and Burgundian gastronomy in the exceptional setting of Domaine Thénard.
A program without borders
True to its identity of «music without borders», the festival annually invites artists from various backgrounds — blues, Afro-Caribbean, samba, funk, electronic music — for evenings where world rhythms blend with local conviviality. Since 2026, DJ sets extend each evening late into the night.
Wines and terroir
The festival's wine bar exclusively offers Givry appellation wines, served by the winemakers themselves. Guided vineyard walks, led by an oenologist, complete the oenological experience with three vintages commented on site.
Eco-responsible commitments
Les Musicaves is committed to a zero-plastic approach: reusable water bottles for artists, elimination of plastic bottles on site, waste sorting in partnership with Grand Chalon, bicycle parking, and «vélo-bus» (group bike departures from Chalon-sur-Saône timed with concert schedules).
Les Musicaves — edition 2026
26th edition of Les Musicaves at Domaine Thénard in Givry, from June 25 to 27, 2026. Three days of world music, DJ sets, and wine tastings from the Givry appellation, brought to you by a new team that perpetuates the festival's friendly and warm spirit.
2026 Edition — 26th festival
The 26th edition of Les Musicaves takes place from June 25 to 27, 2026, at Domaine Thénard in Givry. A new team takes over from the previous 25 editions, with the ambition of preserving the festival's Burgundian soul while renewing the program: for the first time, DJ sets extend each evening late into the night.
Music without borders
The 2026 program features world music: Tuareg blues with Imarhan, Afro-Caribbean with Bonbon Vodou, Colombian cumbia with Edna Martinez and Pambelé, samba-funk with Sambadass, Afro-groove with Nana Benz du Togo, and a global DJ set with Voilaaa Soundsystem. The opening night offers a unique musical encounter between La Litanie des Cimes and Mah Damba.
Wines and gastronomy
The wine bar exclusively offers vintages from the Givry appellation, served by the winemakers themselves. On Saturday, a guided vineyard walk allows visitors to discover the Givry vineyards accompanied by an oenologist, with three vintages commented along the way. On-site catering with local products.
