Pour son dixième anniversaire, la fête de la Saint-Vincent, le patron des vignerons, organisée par les IGP Coteaux de Béziers a eu lieu à Zinga Zanga, où ont été mises en place de multiples animations.

Tastings of course, local products, food trucks, entertainment for children, producers and designers market, donkey rides… This Saturday, January 11, in Zinga Zanga, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Saint-Vincent, the patron saint of winegrowers, the IGP Coteaux de Béziers have put the small glasses in the big ones. “This year, we organized it all day and it will last until 1 a.m., explains enthusiastically Stéphanie Recoules, co-president with Pierre Calmel of the IGP Coteaux de Béziers. We brought together three cellars and six estates.” La Pena Colada, the duo Non-stop and Kompas Alegre livened up the late afternoon and evening.

Saint-Vincent will join the Les Graviers de Béziers estate in 2025

Saint-Vincent began in the late morning with a mass in the Saint-Jude church. It was at the end of the service that the draw took place to designate the winemaker who will keep the statue of the saint throughout the year: “It's been ten years since the Coteaux de Béziers were created and ten years that we have celebrated Saint-Vincent in collaboration with the Faubourg association, explains Pierre Calmel. This year, it was Jean-Pascal Pelagatti from the Les Graviers estate who was drawn.”

The IGP Coteaux de Béziers brings together 21 private wineries and 3 cooperative wineries in a group of 17 communes.
