Discover, taste, feel the vibes

Welcome to the flagship event of the Vignobles & Découvertes label — a unique opportunity to dive into the heart of French terroirs for an unforgettable weekend: tastings, walks, shows, encounters…

A rich and accessible programme offering a different way to experience the vineyards, across more than 70 certified destinations, including the Sancerre Pouilly Giennois Destination.

A unique moment to (re)discover the diversity of French terroirs, through culture, heritage and sensory pleasures.

An unusual banquet at Pierrefitte-ès-Bois to kick off the weekend

A gourmet and festive rendezvous just steps from the vineyards

On Saturday 18th October at 12:00, the Sancerre Pouilly Giennois destination invites you to a unique experience: a rustic and convivial banquet as part of the first national edition of Vignobles en Scène!

Between the Loire and the vineyards, let yourself be charmed by a timeless moment where every bite, every note of music, and every glass of wine tells the generous soul of the Berry region.

In the authentic setting of La Ferme Le Pré de Mély in Pierrefitte-ès-Bois, Yoann and Emmanuelle Bonnand (well-known french TV show of L’Amour est dans le Pré) will welcome you with a generous and refined menu, conceived as an ode to the Berry terroir. Iconic local flavours – sucrine squash from Berry, chicken ballotine with porcini mushrooms, Chavignol goat cheese, Poirat pears from Berry – are paired with the great wines of the Sancerre, Pouilly, and Coteaux du Giennois Wine Controlled Designation of Origins (A.O.C.), presented by passionate wine merchants during the aperitif.

Menus can also be adapted for special dietary requirements (vegetarian, allergies) upon prior request.

To extend this immersive experience, the banquet will be accompanied by a live concert, creating a warm atmosphere where gastronomy, wine, and living heritage come together in perfect harmony.
