About Vignobles en Scène — Cœur de Savoie
Vignobles en Scène is the premier wine tourism event in the Cœur de Savoie and Chambéry Montagnes area, taking over from the former Fascinant Week-end. Every October, winemakers, restaurateurs, and local activity providers from the wine-growing villages of Savoie—including Cruet, Chignin, Montmélian, Saint-Jean-de-la-Porte, Arbin, Myans, and Fréterive—open their doors for an extended weekend of tastings, vineyard strolls, and gourmet events centered around local Savoyard grape varieties.
Vignobles en Scène — Cœur de Savoie — edition 2026
From October 15th to 18th, 2026, the winemakers of Cœur de Savoie and Chambéry Montagnes are opening their estates for Vignobles en Scène. On Friday, Pianocean brings its piano to the Domaine des Albatros in Chignin. On Saturday, Segway or moped rides, workshops, and tastings will be spread across Chignin, Cruet, and Saint-Pierre-d'Albigny.
This event, formerly known as the Fascinating Weekend, is organized throughout France by destinations labeled "Vignobles & Découvertes". In Cœur de Savoie, it runs for four days, from October 15th to 18th, 2026, at various wineries, restaurants, and activity providers in the region.
New for 2026: the catering restaurant La Table du Héron is preparing meals to pick up and enjoy on-site at two partner wineries, Domaine de la Gerbelle in Chignin and Domaine de l'Idylle in Cruet. Participating winemakers are also listed on the event page.
