Cassis Festival, 25–27 September

Every year at the start of the new school term, Cassis is decked out in its finest to host the Vendanges Étoilées. From 25 to 27 September 2026, this 14th edition will transform the village into a veritable open-air culinary theatre: a farmers’ and craft market, demonstrations by Michelin-starred chefs, cookery and pastry-making classes, four-handed dinners and wine bars will all take place over the course of a weekend, between Place Baragnon and the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle.

An event that has become a must-attend, celebrating gastronomy, the Cassis AOC vineyards and the Mediterranean way of life – an event to which La Villa Madie has been a loyal participant for many years.

Dimitri Droisneau, a mainstay of the event

Every year, chef Dimitri Droisneau opens the doors of La Villa Madie for the Vendanges Étoilées, featuring demonstrations, cookery classes in his own kitchens and four-handed dinners shared with chefs from all over France. Deeply attached to his adopted village, he embodies the loyalty that makes the ‘Vendanges Étoilées’ an event where talent, the passing on of culinary traditions and a passion for the Casside region come together.

This 14th edition is no exception: the full programme, detailing the highlights at La Villa Madie, will be unveiled shortly by the organisers.

Experience Cassis for yourself

With its farmers’ market stalls, open-air cooking demonstrations and classes held in the kitchens of partner restaurants, the Vendanges Étoilées offers three days to discover gastronomy in all its forms, with family or friends.

It’s the perfect opportunity to make the most of the summer in Casside and, why not, book a table at La Villa Madie for the occasion.
