Le Dionysiade Wine Festival


17th October 2021

Les Dionysiades

The Syndicat Agly-Verdouble – Pays Touristique is hosting (for the 27th time!) the ever-popular wine festival, Le Dionysiade.

Named after the Greek god of wine, Dionysos, each year the club chooses a different location to celebrate the rich history of viticulture in the P-O.

With previous events cancelled for obvious reasons, organisers and producers are chomping at the bit to welcome wine fans to this year’s festival.

Making their comeback with a splash, the 2021 Dionysiades will take place in the Gorges de Gouleyrous, between Tautavel and Vingrau, as well as in venues across the two towns.

A free shuttle bus (navette), will run between the various sites every 20 minutes.

Highlights of the weekend include: 

  • A traditional tasting competition. As in previous years, teams of wine growers, work colleagues, groups and clubs (5 people minimum) compete against each other in the category of their choice.
  • Free beginners’ wine tasting workshop allowing novices to discover the rich universe of wine.
  • Guided walk of the vineyards
  • Producer’s market. Meet the faces behind the products and purchase goodies to take home with you.
  • Rustic, traditional meal accompanied by the best wines from across the Agly region.
  • Heritage activities including guided tours of the church and exhibitions
  • Musical entertainment

Check out the full programme here.

9am – 6pm

Entry costs just 5€
