Musique et Vins en Madiran

The alliance of music and wine

For nearly thirty years, the Musique et Vins en Madiran festival has combined musical excellence and the wine heritage of the Hautes-Pyrénées. The concerts take place in historic locations: the Romanesque church of Madiran (11th century) and its crypt, the Château de Crouseilles on its 19th-century feudal motte, the Saint-André de Soublecause church, the church of Aydie, and Château Montus.

Renowned artists

The festival hosts top-level classical and jazz musicians. The 2025 edition notably featured the Naamloze Trio (jazz), cellist Lucile Chaubard (trained in the conservatories of Toulouse, Tarbes, London, Barcelona, and Berlin), and pianist Diana Cooper (laureate of the Chopin Competition in Warsaw and the Royal College of Music in London).

The Confrérie des Vins de Madiran

A symbolic moment of the festival, one of the invited artists is inducted into the Confrérie des Vins de Madiran, thus sealing the union between music and the vineyard. The free tastings that follow each church concert allow the public to discover the vintages of the Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh appellations.
