In detail

To kick off the festival, the Grandes Tablées celebrate the flavors of the Champagne region with a grand shared aperitif. Conceived by Carla Bertelle, this evening showcases a selection of regional producers who have come together to introduce guests to their specialties in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Artisanal charcuterie, farm-fresh cheeses, vegetable spreads, artisanal preserves, and gourmet treats make up a generous spread that invites everyone to create their own tasting menu according to their preferences.

Conceived as a time for connection and discovery, this first Grande Tablée offers the chance to take a seat in the heart of the Village des Relais du Goût, chat with producers, and extend the evening by exploring the winemakers present at the Wine Market. A package combining platters to share and a tasting kit allows you to fully savor the pairings between local products and champagnes.

Carla Bertelle

A chef from Reims, Carla Bertelle champions a cuisine that is authentic, generous, and deeply rooted in seasonal ingredients. At the helm of the restaurant Chez Odette, she favors an approach where the simplicity of the recipes highlights the work of local producers and the quality of the ingredients. For this opening night, she has created a selection of sharing platters that celebrate the spirit of togetherness and the flavors of the region.

The Little Field

Located in the heart of Reims, Le P’tit Champ is a farmers’ market that brings together more than 90 producers located within 150 kilometers of the city. Seasonal fruits and vegetables, dairy products, deli meats, groceries, and local specialties are offered through short supply chains, all with the same goal: to bring producers and consumers closer together while showcasing the region’s expertise.

Village of the Relais du Goût

The true beating heart of the festival, the Village des Relais du Goût brings together producers, artisans, chefs, creators, and visitors for a program open to everyone.

A place for discovery and connection where gastronomy, heritage, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere come together through a variety of events.
