Each September, just before the harvest, Givry holds its Fête de la Vigne: three days of concerts, a funfair, a village ball and a Sunday flea market. It is a local fête rather than a showcase, which is exactly its charm. ## Key facts - Type: Tradition - Givry - 40 min from Beaune - Free entry - When: A three-day weekend in early September.

In 2026 the Friday opened with concerts on café terraces, and the weekend ran through to a craft market and associations' village on the Sunday. ## What to expect Bars and shops set up terraces from the Friday evening. On Saturday and Sunday the tourist office and Givry Vins cellar pours a selection of more than twenty estates at cellar-door prices, while brass bands wander the centre, local associations cook on the church square and a ball fills the evening. ## Tips for the day Entry is free; food and wine are paid for at the stalls. Expect a village crowd rather than coach parties. From Beaune it is a short drive, and being collected after the Saturday ball is easier than finding a late ride back. ## Did you know?
