In 2026, nineteen estates took part. ## What to expect Growers pour in their own cellars, and a small train carries visitors between cellars and around the village. Street musicians, exhibitions, merry-go-rounds and pony rides keep the mood festive, a jeep tour of the vineyard has been offered, and food is available to take away. ## Tips for the day The tasting glass cost 9 euros in 2026. The village is easy to reach from Beaune but fills up on sunny weekends, and parking near the cellars is limited. A driver can drop you in the centre and collect you later, which also makes it easy to continue to Pernand-Vergelesses or Aloxe-Corton. Check the official website for the programme and the list of participating estates. ## Did you know? In 2026, nineteen Savigny estates took part, and one glass gave access to all of them. ## Around Bienvenue à Savigny What to combine with Bienvenue à Savigny on the same day, nearest first. ### Other events in May 2027 - **Long held over five days in late August and early September; in 2026 it moved to a May weekend and an early-October weekend.** · [Festival Musique au Chambertin](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/festival-musique-au-chambertin): Classical concerts and tastings in the wine villages around Gevrey-Chambertin since 1988.
