St Vincent festival in Champagne?

WINE TALK
1

I’m visiting Reims and Epernay in late January, and a grower just informed me that they couldn’t accommodate a tasting because it was the week of St Vincent. There’s some information online about past festivals, but I couldn’t find anything about what is planned for 2023.

Has anyone attended, or visited the region during the festival? Am I going to have trouble getting into restaurants or scheduling visits?

Yes. St. Vincent festival is a big deal. Each wine town hosts it every 25 years or so. The parade with all the churches statutes of St. Vincent is awesome.

Thanks! Any idea where I might be able to find info about what’s happening in 2023?
