The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, having created the Saint-Vincent Tournante in 1938, remains morally responsible for the Festival and preserving the spirit of its origins.

The Confrérie des Chavaliers du Tastevin also vets the candidatures of villages hoping to host the Saint-Vincent Tournante.

With the aim of preserving the original ethos, and avoiding past excesses, a charter was drawn up several years ago, listing the rights and responsibilities incumbent on the host villages.

The mutual aid associations (the St Vincent associations) – which arrive annually from all over Burgundy to take part in the procession of the Saint-Vincent Tournante – are united under the collective umbrella of the association Saint-Vincent de Bourgogne, a body created by the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin and whose president is the Confrérie’s Grand Master.
