Du Côté des Maranges is the spring open-cellar weekend of the Maranges appellation, whose three villages lie about 20 minutes from Beaune. Growers welcome visitors in their cellars and vaulted caves, with local producers on hand. It is held over Easter weekend; in 2026 it was in Dezize-lès-Maranges. ## Key facts - Type: Wine festival - Cheilly - 28 min from Beaune - When: Usually Easter weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00.

The spring weekend moves between them: Sampigny-lès-Maranges hosted it in 2025 and Dezize-lès-Maranges in 2026. In January 2026 the three villages also hosted the Saint-Vincent Tournante together. ## What to expect A tasting glass serves as your ticket to every participating cellar. It is a good moment to taste the latest vintages, some already opening up and others still ageing in the cellar, alongside local cheese, charcuterie and bread. In 2025 walks were also organised through the vineyards. ## Tips for the day The glass cost 7 euros in 2026, and the domaines were open from 10:00 to 18:00 without a break. The host village is small and cars soon line the lanes. The Printemps de Monthelie has recently fallen on the same Easter weekend, and a driver lets you taste in both without worrying about the roads in between. Santenay and Beaune are the nearest bases. ## Did you know? Although the Maranges belong to the Côte de Beaune, all three of its villages are in Saône-et-Loire, not the Côte-d'Or. ## Around Du Côté des Maranges What to combine with Du Côté des Maranges on the same day, nearest first. ### Other events in March 2027 - **Runs Friday 26 February – Sunday 7 March 2027** · [Carnaval de Chalon-sur-Saône](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/carnaval-de-chalon-sur-saone): Ten days of parades, brass bands and the burlesque Gôniots, ending with the burning of Old Carnival.
