Saint-Vincent Tournante MARANGES
24 & 25 January 2026
What is the Saint-Vincent Tournante ?
If there's one traditional wine festival that can't be missed in Burgundy it's the Saint-Vincent Tournante!
Every year at the end of January we celebrate Saint Vincent, the patron saint of winegrowers and protector of vineyard workers. Saint Vincent has been celebrated since 1938. The first Saint-Vincent Tournante celebration took place on the 22nd of January 1938, created on the initiative of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. Originally a religious event, Saint-Vincent Tournante is a celebration of the mutual aid and solidarity of winegrowers organised within the Mutuel Aid Societies of all the villages.
Every year at the end of January a Saint-Vincent Society welcomes all the other societies in Burgundy to its territory. During the weekend the host village or villages are decorated for this festive event. Winegrowers, locals and volunteers pool their skills and give their time to organise two days of festivities in their villages and welcome up to 60,000 visitors, wine lovers and connoisseurs… A unifying, convivial moment to share!
A programme of commemorations and tributes is strictly defined with the support of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin:
- a parade of all Mutual Aid Societies from all over Burgundy with their statue of Saint-Vincent and their banner,
- tributes to the deceased from the communities,
- and the induction of ‘old’ winegrowers into the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin.
These are just some of the highlights to delight the many visitors, not forgetting the opening of the the tasting cellars to give visitors a chance to appreciate the typical characteristics of the wines of the appellation that are honoured on its terroir.

Discovering the Maranges
Grands Vins de Bourgogne
Between rivers, valleys, and hills, from the confluence of the Cozanne to the mountain of the Trois Croix, lie the three villages of the Maranges: Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges, and Sampigny-lès-Maranges.
Each of these three villages has held the Maranges appellation since 1989 and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2015. It is the southernmost appellation of the Côte de Beaune.
Maranges village: approximately 115 hectares. Maranges 1er cru: approximately 85 hectares. Les Clos des Rois, Les Clos Roussots, La Fussière, Le Clos de la Boutière, Le Croix Moines, Le Clos des Loyères, Le Clos de la Fussière.
The Maranges rouges, made from Pinot Noir, produce powerful and colorful wines. They express aromas of small red or black fruits and spicy pepper notes.
The Maranges blancs, made from Chardonnay, are rich and aromatic. They represent just under 10% of the production of Maranges wines.

The procession will split up for the celebration of two masses in Cheilly and Dezize at 10 a.m.
The inauguration ceremony, organised by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, will take place at noon on the church square in Sampigny-lès-Maranges.
Fifteen tasting cellars, five per village, will welcome the public. A tasting kit will be available (not compulsory for free wandering around the villages) and will allow visitors to discover the seven collective vintages produced for the event: four whites and three reds, as well as an ‘old vintages’ cellar in Sampigny.

The theme : « Les Maranges en musique » ! (Maranges in music)
In each village, professional and amateur musicians will entertain us with different facets of these musical styles. Jazz funk, New Orleans , swing singing and big band in Cheilly, covers of French rock and international pop rock standards on a central stage in Sampigny. Disco DJ and Groovy beats in Dezize.
In terms of decoration, there will be a 3-metre metal saxophone , tow giant cassettes , a monumental mirror ball , an XXL record player and a 6-metre-high Saint-Vincent !
The common denominator is to get us moving and warm us up in the cold of January !
While adults will be enjoying themselves at this major event, children will also have a great time in Les Maranges! Families will receive a warm welcome with a programme packed with activities.
Each village will have its own children's cellar and merry-go-round !
A children's kit has been specially designed, including :
-1 backpack
-1 eco-cup
-3 gourmet tickets (2 drinks and 1 snack)
-1 treasure hunt booklet and coloured pencils
-1 wristband for free and unlimited access to the three parent-powered merry-go-rounds

Chosen for their locally sourced approach, they will offer a menu highlighting Burgundy's local produce and culinary expertise, with recipes to enjoy seated or as finger food.
A total of 45 catering outlets, or 15 per village, will treat participants to delicious food, all served on compostable or at least recyclable tableware.
To celebrate the Saint-Vincent Tournante Maranges 2026, the Maranges appellation will host an extraordinary six-course dinner on Saturday 24 January at 8pm at the Palais des Congrès in Beaune.
Three leading figures in local gastronomy will showcase their respective expertise : Eric Pras, Chef of the Year 2004 and three-star chef at the Lameloise restaurant, Quentin Thomas representing the Huez company, and pastry chef Marie Simon, World Champion 2018, with a menu of original dishes.
