Intro
Experience an authentic slice of Fribourg's rich culinary heritage: the making of the delicious "vin cuit"
From 2nd to 4th October 2026, La Grangette celebrates the 31st edition of its Fête du Vin Cuit. Throughout the weekend, discover a well-established Fribourg tradition: the making of vin cuit over an open fire.
