Saint-Vincent Tournante

The largest wine festival in Burgundy

The Saint-Vincent Tournante has been an institution in Burgundy since 1938. Every last weekend of January, when the vines are resting, a wine village in the Côte-d'Or hosts this celebration in honor of Saint Vincent, the patron saint of winegrowers. The principle of the "tournante" (turning) means that the host village changes every year, thus highlighting a different appellation of the Burgundy vineyard.

A festive and traditional program

The weekend opens with a parade of wine brotherhoods in traditional costumes, accompanied by brass bands and music. A solemn mass is celebrated in the village church, followed by the induction of new knights of the Tastevin. The heart of the festival lies in the tasting cellars, where the winegrowers of the appellation offer their vintages to visitors equipped with the official Saint-Vincent glass. Street performances, musical entertainment, and gastronomic stands complete the festivities.

A major popular event

With attendance that can exceed 75,000 visitors over two days, the Saint-Vincent Tournante is the largest wine gathering in Burgundy. Host villages prepare for over a year to welcome this crowd, mobilizing hundreds of volunteers. The event is also an opportunity for the communes to showcase their architectural and wine heritage, with carefully chosen decorations on the theme selected for each edition.

Recent host villages

In 2024, the villages of Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis hosted the 80th edition under the theme of Arts and Wine. In 2025, it was Ladoix-Serrigny that celebrated the 81st edition. In 2026, the festival will be held in the communes of the Maranges appellation (Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges, and Sampigny-lès-Maranges) for the 82nd edition.
