Aux Vignobles! Angers

Aux Vignobles! in Angers is much more than a traditional consumer fair – it’s a sensory experience for wine lovers, food enthusiasts, and anyone looking to enjoy French hospitality in its most authentic form. The name of the event – which translates to “To the Vineyards!” – says it all: visitors are invited on a flavorful journey through the diverse wine regions of France – without ever having to leave Angers.

Held annually and organized by GL Events Exhibitions Opérations, based in Brest, the fair brings together winemakers, producers, and artisanal food specialists from across the French culinary landscape. Every autumn, it transforms the Parc des Expositions in Angers into a vibrant hub of culinary discovery.

A visit to Aux Vignobles! is especially rewarding for those in search of authenticity. Products can be purchased directly from the producers – with personal advice, expert knowledge, and the chance to experience the quality and flavor firsthand. Regional diversity takes center stage, with numerous appellations from across France – from Bordeaux to Alsace, from the Loire to the Rhône Valley – showcasing what makes the French terroir so exceptional. Within just a few hours, visitors can embark on a genuine culinary journey through the country.

A standout feature is the organic trail (Bio-Parcours), which highlights producers committed to ecological and sustainable farming and production methods. Certifications such as HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) clearly indicate which producers follow particularly eco-conscious practices. This focus on sustainability is seamlessly integrated into a holistic wine experience: tastings, samplings, and guided tours offer deeper insights into the art of oenology.

But it’s not just about fine wines – the culinary offerings are rounded out with gourmet specialties such as cheese, charcuterie, chocolate, and artisan-crafted delicacies. Exhibitors represent a wide range of sectors including food production, viticulture, and gastronomy. The audience includes both trade professionals – from retail, hospitality, and food service – and private visitors with a passion for good taste.

Aux Vignobles! is part of a series of events held in several cities across northwestern France. In Angers, the fair opens its doors once a year in the autumn – the perfect time to explore new vintages and prepare for the culinary delights of the colder season.

Thanks to its convenient location and modern infrastructure, the Parc des Expositions in Angers is easily accessible – whether by car via the A11 or by public transport from Angers-Saint-Laud railway station. The city of Angers itself, located in the heart of the Loire Valley, is a historic center of culture and wine – offering the ideal backdrop for a fair that uniquely blends wine, gastronomy, and the French art de vivre.

The Aux Vignobles! takes place annually, and therefore for the thirty-second time previsibly in November 2026 in Angers.
