Villevert On Stage is a unique competition created by Maison Villevert to showcase the talents of French mixology in a demanding, creative... and spectacular format.
Through a series of technical and original challenges, pairs of bartenders compete in a spirit of friendly competition, combining rigor, inventiveness and cohesion.
Conceived as a true “Top Chef of cocktails,” this program showcases the expertise, passion, and emotion that drive the new generation of bartenders.
A stage open to creation, driven by the excellence and values of Maison Villevert.


Test 1 - Linked Destinies
To kick off the competition, the duos tackle a must-try challenge: making three classic cocktails—Basil Smash, Cosmopolitan, and Negroni—in under 5 minutes, all while attached to each other! A challenge as technical as it is physical, requiring execution, speed, and cohesion.


Test 2 - In unison
Make way for harmony between glass and plate! Each team must create a signature cocktail to complement the dish imagined by chef Maxence Jasica. A 45-minute challenge where creativity, execution, flavor harmony, and storytelling are the key words in a true culinary-mix duel.


Test 3 - Just like at home
Before the grand finale, the contestants face an unexpected elimination challenge: creating a cocktail in a private kitchen, without any bar equipment. Immersed in the world of Géraud Vallantin Dulac, the duos will have to demonstrate creativity, cohesion, and conviviality to surprise the jury... just like at home.


Test 4 - The Heart of the Soul
The final stretch for the three finalist teams! For this final challenge, Jean-Sébastien Robicquet, founder of Maison Villevert, takes the stage and unveils a challenge centered on emotion. In 60 minutes, the candidates must create a cocktail that tells a story, conveys a passion, and touches the jury's heart. A decisive test where creativity, sincerity, and cohesion will make all the difference.
In January 2022, 64 bartenders took part in the first cocktail competition ever organized in France.
18 months later, following an unprecedented selection process,
there are only 6 duos representing 6 cities.
After 4 new tests: only one will remain.
