Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants Paris

The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants is far more than a traditional wine fair – it’s an authentic, vibrant celebration for anyone passionate about artisanal wines and the stories behind them. Each year, the Espace Champerret in the heart of Paris is transformed into a hub of flavour, discovery and human connection. The event is organised by the Vignerons Indépendants de France, the national association of independent French winegrowers, which champions the visibility, appreciation and preservation of small, family-run estates.

What sets this event apart is the direct, personal connection it fosters between winemakers and visitors. Only independent producers are invited to exhibit, and they do so in person – no corporate entities, no faceless brands, just dedicated individuals with dirt under their nails who tend their own vines, craft their own wines, and speak about them with genuine passion. Tastings, conversations and sales take place face-to-face – authentic, unfiltered and human.

The Salon has a distinctive, focused profile: a showcase of the diversity of French wine. Visitors can explore prestigious appellations as well as hidden gems from lesser-known terroirs – from Burgundy, Alsace and the Loire to Corsica, the South-West and the Rhône Valley. The wine offering is complemented by a curated selection of regional delicacies from artisan producers: cheeses, charcuterie, oysters, foie gras – everything needed to complete the tasting experience.

The audience is as diverse as the exhibitors: trade professionals, restaurateurs, sommeliers, private collectors, curious foodies and international visitors eager to engage with French wine culture at close range. Novices are also warmly welcomed – guided tastings and sensory introductions offer an accessible entry point into the world of grape varieties, aromas and terroirs.

The Paris edition is part of a broader series of events held in cities across France – including Strasbourg, Lyon, Lille and Bordeaux – all with the shared goal of deepening the dialogue between winemakers and consumers while promoting responsible enjoyment of wine.

The venue, Espace Champerret, is centrally located in Paris’s 17th arrondissement and easily accessible via Métro line 3 (Porte de Champerret station) and several bus routes. Its compact layout, convenient location and proximity to some of the city’s culinary hotspots make it an ideal setting for a fair dedicated to authentic flavour – personal, approachable, and unmistakably French.

The Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 19. March to Sunday, 22. March 2026 in Paris.
