Festival de Bach à Bacchus 2026

This year, the festival will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. The volunteers who run the festival are looking forward to welcoming you this summer with a particularly rich and diverse programme, aimed at all audiences. The Festival programme is made up of a host of musical and wine events, each adapted to the location: baroque music, classical music, world music, jazz... as well as guided tastings, vineyard tours, dinners with the artists...

Above all, it's a feast for the senses that brings the world of music and the world of wine closer together, and above all brings the public and those involved in wine and music closer together. We invite you to discover this beautiful village, and to meet the people who live here and bring it to life with their shared passion.
