Aux Vignobles! Brest

Aux Vignobles! in Brest is much more than a traditional wine fair – it is an immersive world of indulgence where French wine, artisanal gastronomy, regional identity, and sustainability come together in a unique and harmonious way. The name "Aux Vignobles!" – meaning roughly “to the vineyards!” – is more than just an invitation; it’s a promise. Visitors are invited to dive deep into the heart of French wine and culinary culture, experiencing the diverse terroirs of France in their most authentic form.

Each autumn, the Parc Expo de Penfeld in Brest transforms into a vibrant meeting place for wine enthusiasts, gourmets, industry professionals, and curious connoisseurs. Organized by GL Events Exhibitions Opérations, based in Brest, the event is part of a nationwide series held under the Aux Vignobles! banner in several cities across northwestern France – all with the shared goal of making authentic taste experiences, regional craftsmanship, and sustainable production accessible and tangible.

The fair offers a rich and high-quality selection that stands out in its variety. Winemakers from across France showcase their wines – many of them certified organic or bearing the HVE label (Haute Valeur Environnementale). What sets the event apart is the direct connection between producers and visitors: personal conversations, expert advice, tastings, and on-the-spot purchases create a level of trust that is increasingly rare in today’s globalized market.

Alongside wine, artisanal fine foods play a central role. Products such as cheese, cured meats, chocolate, teas, and other delicacies reflect the culinary heritage of their respective regions. Each region brings its own "Goût du Terroir" – shaped by soil, climate, and tradition – offering a deeper understanding of the origins and character of its products.

Wine tourism also plays a key role at the fair. Some exhibitors offer experiences such as vineyard tours, cultural wine trips, and tastings on-site – a growing segment that appeals not only to travel professionals but also to adventurous food and wine lovers.

At the same time, the fair serves as a showcase for environmentally conscious agriculture and sustainable viticulture. Producers who rely on organic practices and hold environmental certifications are prominently featured, sending a clear message: quality, ecological responsibility, and tradition are not mutually exclusive, but rather essential pillars of a forward-thinking approach.

Aux Vignobles! brings together exhibitors from viticulture, fine food production, tourism, and agriculture. It also provides a stage for start-ups, emerging producers, and long-established family businesses to present their offerings to a broad and diverse audience. This includes private visitors, restaurateurs, specialty retailers, sommeliers, and tourism professionals – all of whom use the event as a source of inspiration, a networking hub, and a platform for direct sales.

The host city of Brest offers the Parc Expo de Penfeld, a modern and well-connected exhibition center located just minutes from the city center. Situated at the western edge of Brittany, the fair serves as a gateway to the culinary richness of France. It is easily accessible by car or public transport. Additionally, Brest has its own airport and strong rail connections, making travel from across France – and beyond – convenient.

Whether you're a wine lover seeking new discoveries, a professional interested in sustainable cultivation methods, or a gourmet in search of authentic experiences – Aux Vignobles! is the perfect place to explore and enjoy the rich diversity of France’s culinary culture with all your senses.

The Aux Vignobles! will take place on 4 days from Saturday, 08. November to Tuesday, 11. November 2025 in Brest.
