The Bordeaux Wine Festival
The Bordeaux Wine Festival, the unmissable annual event of Bordeaux and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, is back from 27 to 30 June 2024. Over 4 days of festivities, explore Bordeaux's winemaking heritage on the quayside with a rich programme of tastings, experiences and emotions.
France's biggest wine tourism festival
Every year in June, the Bordeaux Wine Festival takes place along the quays of Bordeaux. During this festival, visitors and locals alike can (re)discover the great diversity of wines from Bordeaux and its region through a variety of events. Leading the way is the legendary Wine Tasting tour and its many appellation pavilions, where wine professionals share their expertise over a glass of wine. Not far away, the gastronomic village awaits gourmets with local specialities produced locally.
Tens of thousands of visitors attend and take part in the many events held every year.
Magical drone shows
The 2023 edition of Bordeaux Fête le Vin unveiled a brand new attraction: a ballet of drones performed over two evenings to amaze and delight locals and visitors alike. On the evenings of 23 and 24 June, spectators could watch drones take to the skies in a choreographed musical performance that could be seen from the Bordeaux Wine Festival grounds on the Left Bank.
All aboard the tall ships
Bélem, Thalassa, Nao Victoria... do any of these names ring a bell? These are the great historic sailing ships that have docked on the quays during previous editions of the Bordeaux Wine Festival! These majestic vessels, which travel the seas, are an integral part of the identity of the Wine Festival, and each year they come to moor on the Bordeaux quays for the duration of the festivities. Year after year, visitors can climb aboard and enjoy a guided tour led by the crew.
In 2024, they'll be there again!
