Previously reserved for connoisseurs, oenology is now accessible to all. Bordeaux’s wine tourism is on the rise and attracts a large French and international clientèle. Events such as the “Bordeaux fête le vin” festival are a double whammy, allowing visitors to discover Bordeaux and the quality of its vineyards!
Bordeaux, a delight for wine lovers
“Bordeaux fête le vin” is an event held every year in the Bordeaux region, around the summer solstice. Admire the centuries-old expertise of the coopers, learn all about wine tasting, venture along the wine route and discover a large estate or more intimate properties, enjoy wine experiences at the Bordeaux Wine School, and more.
Events for everyone, not just wine experts
For centuries, wine has been an emblematic product of the Bordeaux region, synonymous with a festive spirit and proof of ancestral know-how. Rooted in the regional culture, it alone promotes the city of Bordeaux. Since 1998, the city has organised this unmissable event to highlight this exceptional product.
Each year, “Bordeaux fête le vin” offers a programme that will appeal to all wine enthusiasts, amateurs and experts alike. Each edition recreates the legendary wine route, along the banks of the Garonne. On this trip through the Bordeaux vineyards, you will discover no fewer than 80 appellations. You will meet winegrowers and merchants and enjoy stops along the way to taste whites, reds, rosés, clairets and even crémants.
But “Bordeaux fête le vin” is also an opportunity to enjoy the gastronomic village and immerse yourself in the terroir of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. A culinary journey to the four corners of the region, from Arcachon Bay to the Basque Country via Les Landes and the hinterland of Limousin or Lot-et-Garonne, meet passionate producers and craftsmen. Food trucks, bodegas and stalls… choose from a wide selection of sweet and savoury options!
The Pass Dégustation (Tasting Pass) is also essential for “Bordeaux fête le vin”. It allows you to experience new wine pairings and enjoy several tastings in the different pavilions of the Appellations of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. In total, there are 11 tastings as well as a workshop in the pavilion of the Bordeaux Wine School and you get a tasting glass and holder to take with you.
