Planning a trip to France next February? Here’s an idea: the next “Breakthrough of the Yellow Wine” festival will take place the weekend of February 1 and 2, 2020, in the village of Ruffey-sur-Seille, France (it’s about 80km south-west of Besançon).
This local festival celebrates the release of the new vintage of this very special sherry-like wine, which is aged for six years. A €20 day pass is available online, which gives you 10 tasting tickets for the winemakers displaying their produce in their decorated cellars plus a souvenir glass.
There’s also a cookery competition, a wine auction, parades of Jura winemakers and street food.
