These include unusual events, concerts, appellation wine tastings, theatre and, above all, cultural and wine discoveries for a fascinating weekend.
For this second edition, we’re offering you a programme packed with discoveries and new features!
Start your day with a wine tasting in the heart of the medieval quarter, in the former cellar of the canons of Autun (at the Cellier du Chapitre)! You’ll discover the wines and the Côtes du Couchois appellation with a dozen winemakers and around forty wines.
The tasting will take place from 10am to 6pm, and for those with a sweet tooth, gougères will be available to accompany your discovery.
Continue your experience by attending the theatrical performance ‘Les pieds dans le plat’, a play about gastronomy by Jacques Arnould, starting at 3pm in the Place du Terreau.
The day’s not over yet, so it’s time for the evenings !
Head to Benoit Laly’s cellar, which will open its doors to you for a cinema evening with a screening at the Arletty cinema of the film ‘C’est le monde à l’envers’ by Nicolas Vannier, followed by a cocktail reception with tasting of Couchois wines at the cellar.
