A festival with a local flavour

In Nolay, we like to celebrate wine like we celebrate life! Every spring, De Cep en Verre transforms the medieval village into a vast playground for lovers of fine wines and convivial atmospheres. The cellars open their doors wide, the winemakers share their passion and visitors pass from stand to stand, glass in hand, smile on their lips. All this takes place in the picturesque streets of Nolay, at the foot of its timber-framed houses and its 14th-century covered market hall.

Activities to enjoy without moderation

Between two tastings of chardonnay or pinot noir, there’s plenty to do! Concerts, workshops to help you understand the secrets of wine, guided tours of the village and exhibitions of local crafts complete the festivities. Children are not forgotten: fun stands, Burgundian games and family activities make this an event to be shared without moderation (or almost).

Passionate winemakers and a spirit of sharing

De Cep en Verre is above all a meeting between the curious and those who make wine. More than twenty of the region’s estates are present, from Nolay, the Côte de Beaune and the surrounding area. It’s the perfect opportunity to discuss prices, vintages and terroirs, and to leave with a few bottles to slip into your trunk – the promise of future evenings with friends.

A weekend to taste Burgundy differently

Here, wine meets music, good humour meets gastronomy, and heritage meets celebration. De Cep en Verre is more than just an event: it’s a sensory experience, a journey to the heart of authentic, generous Burgundy. You’ll leave Nolay with a light heart, rosy cheeks and a basket full of liquid memories. 🍷
