Quilles
The living wines festival in Cévennes d'Ardèche
About Quilles
The gathering of living wines in the Cévennes
Quilles is the festival of living wines in the Ardèche Cévennes. Every year in June, this event brings together around thirty winemakers — local and international — in the south of Ardèche, for a weekend of tastings, gastronomy, and festivities centered around natural wine. Organized by the Association Sous Les Arbres in partnership with the wine cellar Vins sur Vans, the festival is in its fourth edition in 2026.
Local winemakers and international guests
The strength of Quilles lies in the encounter between winemakers from Ardèche and Cévennes and winemakers from elsewhere. Each edition welcomes about fifteen local producers who host about fifteen guest winemakers, creating a dialogue between terroirs and expertise. In 2025, 32 winemakers and 2 distilleries participated in the festival, offering a rich and varied panorama of French and international natural wines. The formula remains identical for the 2026 edition: 16 local estates and 16 guests.
Gastronomy and pop-up restaurant
Quilles is not limited to wine tasting. The festival offers a pop-up restaurant showcasing local gastronomy, with collaborations between chefs and local producers. La Ferme Pomeyrol and the restaurant Carabasse provide the Saturday evening meal, while La Récré takes over for Sunday lunch. Food trucks (La Ferme Pomeyrol, Carabasse, L'Ô à la bouche) and artisan stalls — ceramics, posters, jewelry, massages, tattooing — complete the festive offering.
Music and conviviality
Each edition of Quilles is punctuated by a concert on Saturday evening, extending the celebration and conviviality of the festival. In 2024, the band Rhino performed the concert. Live music, combined with tastings and gastronomy, creates a warm and relaxed atmosphere that is the charm of the festival.
An idyllic Cévennes setting
The festival takes place in a campsite in the heart of nature in the south of Ardèche, near Les Vans and the Gorges du Chassezac. This setting, between river and Cévennes hills, offers an idyllic environment for tasting living wines, amidst the shade of plane trees and the mildness of southern Ardèche. The location also allows visitors to combine the festival with the discovery of the Cévennes landscapes and local wine heritage.
Quilles — edition 2026
4th edition of Quilles, the living wines festival in Cévennes d'Ardèche, on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Camping Le Mas du Serre in Gravières (07140) — a new location for this edition. 16 local winemakers and 16 guests, pop-up restaurants, food trucks, concert, and artisan stalls.
4th Edition in Gravières — A New Setting for Quilles
For its 2026 edition, the Quilles festival changes its setting and moves to Camping Le Mas du Serre in Gravières (Ardèche), a few kilometers from Les Vans and the Gorges du Chassezac. This fourth edition takes place on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14, 2026.
Around Thirty Winemakers Gathered
As every year, 16 local winemakers (from Ardèche and Cévennes) welcome 16 winemakers from elsewhere, creating a dialogue between terroirs and expertise around natural wine. The complete list of 2026 winemakers is gradually being unveiled on the official website.
A Festive Program Centered Around Wine
Beyond tastings, the festival offers a pop-up restaurant on Saturday evening provided by La Ferme Pomeyrol and the restaurant Carabasse, and a Sunday lunchtime meal by the team from La Récré. Three food trucks complete the offer (La Ferme Pomeyrol, Carabasse, L'Ô à la bouche). On the music side, Rhino & FP, members of the ASM collective and the Chinese Man Records label, will perform the Saturday evening concert. Artisan stalls (ceramics with Maison Muz, Pya jewelry, posters, La Castagne Tatoo tattoos, massages) complete the festivities.
