On the program : afternoon shows for all ages, food and drink, games… and as night falls, an old winegrower comes to tell us about the history of Beaujolais, from the creation of the soil to the present day.
Spectators are seated in 1000-seat grandstands, and watch the video-mapping projected on the façade, the stunt riders, people from 4 to 85 years old, the dancers, the music, the fireworks… All in all, a fairytale atmosphere, a family spirit, a festive ambiance and a very Beaujolais conviviality! Our aim is to put on a show that combines the freshness of a volunteer with the quality of a professional, while providing plenty of content on the history of the region. In conclusion, the Père des Vignes passes on to the youngsters what he considers to be essential to Happiness: the symbols of Beaujolais are handed to them by the main characters in the story.

In the heart of the Château de Nevers, the salons recall the opulence of the late 19th century. The lunch prepared by chef Ghislain Varillon of L’Écume Gourmande, and the skits echo the unusual history of the place: a former hunting lodge acquired in the 1830s by Pierre Denoyel in exchange for a gambling debt, then converted into a château and passed down for six generations.
Today, the estate perpetuates the tradition of characterful wines, sometimes distinguished, sometimes festive, but always produced with respect for the environment.
This Association, the Lion Noir, is original in its scope (6500 spectators welcomed in July 23), in its content (retracing the history of the region over so many centuries), in its directors and each of its members (all volunteers), in the human energy deployed (estimated at 7 FTEs over the year!), in its beauty (everything is taken care of to awaken the Beauty), in its family aspect (atmosphere, welcome…), in its anchoring in its region and country (history of the vineyards, traditions…), French history), by the support and trust it enjoys (from the commune, the community of communes, the département, the region and some thirty local businesses), by the quality of its human and social relations (mutual aid), and by its exclusivity (unique in Beaujolais)
