In Coulanges the celebration is a long-standing tradition, kept alive by the Comité de Saint-Vincent and by the village youth. Coulanges-la-Vineuse lies a few kilometres west of Irancy, and its wines carry their own name, Bourgogne Coulanges-la-Vineuse. ## What to expect The day opens with a mass at the church of Saint-Christophe at 9.30 am. At 11 am a parade winds through streets decorated for the feast, and the organisers hand out free mulled wine. From midday a reception in the village hall pairs tastings with cheese and charcuterie, and through the afternoon all the growers of the appellation pour their wines. ## Tips for the day The celebrations are free to attend, and tastings are served in a commemorative glass, listed at 5 euros on the organisers' page. Dress for a cold January day. Coulanges is about 1 hour 40 minutes from Beaune, and a driver lets you enjoy the tastings and add a visit to Irancy or Saint-Bris. ## Did you know? The feast is organised by the young people of the village, who have made it their task to keep the tradition alive. ## Around Saint-Vincent de Coulanges-la-Vineuse What to combine with Saint-Vincent de Coulanges-la-Vineuse on the same day, nearest first. ### Other events in January 2027 - **Runs Friday, 6 November 2026 – Sunday, 31 January 2027** · [Les Fééries de Noël de Dijon](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/feeries-de-noel-dijon): Chalets, vin chaud, an ice rink and a big wheel across the heart of Dijon.
