The Saint-Martin Festival in the Canton of Jura, Switzerland

The Saint Martin Festival: when La Maison Wenger celebrates pork in grand style!

Every year in November, La Maison Wenger revives with flair one of the Jura’s most joyful and emblematic traditions: the Saint Martin Festival, also known as the pork festival. Rooted in the rural heritage of the Jura, this celebration once marked the end of the slaughter season, a moment of sharing and festivity when families would gather around generous dishes to honor an animal considered a true treasure of the terroir. nn

A tribute to Jura heritage

For this unique occasion, La Maison Wenger steps outside its walls and relocates to the Halle-Cantine of the Marché-Concours in Saignelégier, an emblematic venue of the Swiss Jura, famous for hosting the annual gathering of Franches-Montagnes horses.

This vast, lively hall becomes, for one evening, the stage of an epicurean feast under the banner of celebration, tradition… and indulgence.

Under the guidance of Chef Jérémy Desbraux and hostess Anaëlle Roze, the event is transformed into a true Jura-style banquet.

On the menu: a parade of pork-based dishes prepared with passion and precision – from fine charcuterie and roasted cuts to flavorful broths and other traditional specialties, reimagined in a modern and festive spirit. Local products take center stage, elevated with finesse to delight and awaken the guests’ palates.

An immersion in the heart of the Jura

The atmosphere is as delightful as the menu: a large convivial table, rustic and warm décor, live music, and a village spirit – everything comes together to create a joyful and authentic ambiance.
To accompany the feast, La Maison Wenger’s head sommelier offers a selection of carefully chosen wines, perfectly paired with the day’s dishes to enhance every bite.

The Saint Martin Festival, Maison Wenger style, is much more than just a dinner: it is a festive immersion into the soul of the Jura, a popular gathering where terroir, gastronomy, and the art of living come together.
An evening not to be missed, celebrating abundance, sharing… and the love of good taste.
