Alongside these main events, enjoy tastings at prestigious estates (Delas Frères, M. Chapoutier, Cave de Tain, Jaboulet), vineyard walks, and the Hermitage–Saint-Joseph half marathon.

Vignobles en Scène: The Hermitage vineyard in celebration

Vignobles en Scène is the flagship event for oenotourism in Ardèche Hermitage. Launched in 2025 under this new name, it follows on from Fascinant Weekend, a national event of the Journées Vignobles et Découvertes (Vineyards and Discoveries Days), maintaining its spirit while enriching its program.

Three days of festivities centered around wine

Every third weekend of October, Vignobles en Scène invites wine and gastronomy enthusiasts to explore the vineyards of the northern Rhône valley through a rich and varied program: tastings, food and wine pairings, gourmet walks, and moments of sharing with winemakers. Participants discover the prestigious appellations of Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Cornas, and Saint-Péray.

Original and fun experiences

Beyond traditional tastings, Vignobles en Scène offers original and fun experiences for all tastes:

  • A half-marathon in the vineyards for sports enthusiasts
  • Treasure hunts in the vineyards for families
  • Interactive tours to discover the appellations
  • Gourmet workshops and cultural activities
  • Festive evenings with food and wine pairings and humor

The banquet: an exceptional moment of sharing

The highlight of Vignobles en Scène is the banquet, a unique moment of conviviality, gastronomy, and sharing around wine. This festive meal showcases food and wine pairings and the richness of the northern Rhône valley terroir, in a warm and gourmet atmosphere.

An exceptional territory

The Hermitage vineyard, a national heritage site, overlooks the Rhône from the iconic hill of Tain-l'Hermitage. Vignobles en Scène is an opportunity to discover this exceptional terroir, its spectacular landscapes, and the know-how of its winemakers, in a setting between Drôme and Ardèche.
