Piot-Sévillano to Host Jazz, Aromas and Vibratory Tastings at Vignobles en Scène 2026
The second edition of Vignobles en Scène returns to the Marne Valley on 16–18 October 2026, with Piot-Sévillano offering jazz concerts, aroma workshops and vibratory tastings at their Vincelles estate.
What happened
The second edition of Vignobles en Scène is confirmed for 16–18 October 2026, with the Marne Valley estate of Piot-Sévillano, in Vincelles, among the participating venues. The programme at the family domain encompasses a jazz concert, aroma workshops, and vibratory tastings — an approach that invites visitors to engage with champagne through sound and sensation as much as through the palate. The festival operates across multiple destinations simultaneously, positioning itself as a travelling cultural event rooted in French wine country.
Why it matters
Vignobles en Scène represents a growing strand of champagne tourism that moves beyond the conventional cellar visit. By pairing live music with structured sensory exercises, Piot-Sévillano is placing experiential engagement at the centre of how it welcomes the public. Vibratory tastings, in which sound frequencies accompany the act of tasting, are among the more distinctive formats to have emerged in recent years, and their inclusion here signals an ambition to broaden the audience for Marne Valley champagne beyond the already-converted enthusiast. For a multi-destination festival still in its early editions, the format also allows smaller family producers to participate on equal terms with larger houses, lending the event a plurality that a single-venue fair could not achieve.
Context
The first edition of Vignobles en Scène took place in October 2025, making the 2026 gathering only the second time the festival has run. Vincelles sits within the Marne Valley, one of the three principal zones of the Champagne appellation. Piot-Sévillano, led by Christine Sévillano, is the host producer at this location. The festival's multi-destination model means that attendees can move between participating estates across the region over the three-day period, treating the landscape itself as part of the experience. As champagne tourism continues to evolve, events such as Vignobles en Scène illustrate how producers are seeking to deepen the relationship between their terroir, their wines, and the visitors who come to discover them.
