On 3 February Villeneuve celebrates Saint Blaise; and there is an evening when the winegrowers open the barmé, the cellars dug into the crevices of the landslide the village stands on.

The patron of Villeneuve is Saint Blaise, celebrated on 3 February.

The evening the village waits for, though, is the Fiha di barmé — in the local patois the feast of the barmé — when the winegrowers open their cellars, dug into the crevices of an ancient landslide on which the village itself is built. Above the houses, on a crag, stand the ruins of Châtel-Argent.
