Sommaire

Sponsored by Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, Vign'Art was founded to create a land art festival in Champagne that could pair the region’s sparkling wine with modern art. The primary goal of the event is to promote the natural resources present within this Protected Destination of Origin by highlighting the men and women who make its success possible along Champagne’s tourist route.

The Champagne vineyard festival

Until 15 September 2019, 14 arty installations will be exhibited in 12 towns, ranging from Montagne de Reims to Côte des Blancs and from the Epernay region to the Grande Vallée de la Marne. In Epernay, Avize, Aÿ-Champagne, Bergères-les-Vertus, Champillon, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cuis, Mutigny, Oger, and Vertus, visitors can admire unusual landscapes that have been transformed by art.
