Grand Saint-Vincent, Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil: 23rd January 2010

Small bottle of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil outside the church in the centre of the village

Many wine villages and towns celebrate the Fête de Saint-Vincent, the patron Saint of the vine and wine, on the closest Sunday to the Saint's day. Customarily there are various ceremonies but always with a central feature – a very long lunch that often lasts through to the early evening. Here are details of the celebrations at Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil.
